Type Synthesis and Kinematic Analysis of a 2-DOF Shape-Morphing Wheel Mechanism for Step-Overcoming

This study presents a novel shape-morphing wheel that enables to not only traverse flat ground quickly in a circular configuration but also overcome obstacles like steps effectively in a transformed configuration. The proposed wheel mechanism has two degrees-of-freedoms (DOFs) to change its wheel ra...
