Shape-Shifting Reconfigurable Wheel Track And Extreme Travel Suspension
Friday, February 5, 2021
via
Reconfigurable Wheel-Track (RWT)Wheels permit fast travel on hard surfaces while tracks perform better on soft surfaces. A team from Carnegie Mellon University National Robotics Engineering Center (CMU NREC) demonstrated shape-shifting wheel-track mechanisms that transition from a round wheel to a triangular track and back again while the vehicle is on the move, for instant improvements to...
