Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic space frame. The space frame may include a master controller unit arranged and configured as a central controller for exchanging data with a remote computing system, exchanging data with a plurality of automated struts, and delivering power to the automated struts. Through such an arrangement, the main controller unit can be configured as a fully integrated, rechargeable power / controller unit for powering and controlling the automated strut. In one embodiment, the master controller unit is coupled to an outer surface of the platform. The platform acts as a conduit for coupling the main controller unit to the automated strut. Thus, the at least one platform provides an integrated connection with the automated strut. In one embodiment, the strut may be a wireless automated strut including a motor, a power source, and a wireless communication module for communicating with an external computing system.
