The present work has its origin in the algorithms and approaches for the analysis of a robot of variable geometry developed in the TU Ilmenau. Such robot hat an initially cylindrical robot changes to a truncated conical geometry, in order to be able to rotate around the vertical axis located at the generating point of such a cone. The present thesis begins with a basic explanation of the foundations for the study of tensegrity structures; later, from the variable parameters of the geometric description of the robot, the kinematic equations of position, velocity and acceleration are evaluated for every point of the geometry of the robot. In the same chapter an alternative of predicting the path of the robot using a clothoid curve is proposed, this curve has the purpose of giving equations of the trajectory of the geometric center of the robot. In a following chapter, the control algorithms for the rolling movement of the robot are presented, as well as a possible constructive form previously used for a similar application. Finally, the last chapter presents alternative materials for manufacturing the body of the robot, as well as the bases of an approach for the evaluation of curved tensile structures; additionally, it proposes a form of calculation for later development of the final geometry of the robot.
