Minimal mass design of active tensegrity structures

•A general method for designing minimal mass active tensegrity structures is proposed.•The design of the structure parameters and actuator parameters are integrated.•The performance of different actuator layout modes on mass-efficiency is investigated.•The method is a unifying framework for designin...
