In one aspect, tensegrity structures or apparatus are described herein comprising rings or hoops. Briefly, a tensegrity structure comprises a plurality of rings spaced apart along a central axis and connected by struts, wherein the struts are coupled to a force actuator assembly via cables, the force actuator assembly residing within a volume defined by the struts. In some embodiments, the tensegrity structure employs three struts for connecting the rings, although any desired number of struts is possible. Moreover, cables can extend from opposing ends of the force actuator assembly to couple with the struts.
