South Korean scientists are developing a shape-shifting wheel that can adapt in real time to various terrains, potentially transforming movable vehicles and robotics.
The 'smart chain structure' allows these new wheels to optimize movement by adjusting the tension in wire spokes, enabling both rigid and pliable forms for diverse terrains.
This innovation could extend the capabilities of machines such as wheelchairs and robots beyond current limitations, overcoming obstacles and altering how we approach vehicle design.
The wheel's design is a significant advancement in overcoming major design challenges faced with all-terrain mobility, allowing for smooth travel over various surfaces.
