Wheel and Moving Object Including the Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18155418 titled 'Wheel and Moving Object Including the Same
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment wheel is a wheel frame unit with peripheral regions, a driving power unit, and a walking power unit.
- The driving power unit, located on one side of the wheel frame unit, provides rotational force for the wheel to rotate about a central axis.
- The walking power unit, also located on the same side, provides power to change the relative positions between the peripheral regions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Robotics for improved mobility and maneuverability.
- Exercise equipment for dynamic resistance training.
- Conveyor systems for efficient material handling.
Problems Solved
The embodiment wheel addresses issues such as:
- Limited mobility in traditional wheels.
- Lack of control over relative positions in conventional wheel designs.
- Inefficient material handling processes.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced maneuverability and agility.
- Improved control over movement and positioning.
- Increased efficiency in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment wheel includes a wheel frame unit including a plurality of peripheral regions, a driving power unit disposed at a first side of the wheel frame unit and configured to provide a rotational force that allows the wheel frame unit to perform a rotational motion about a central axis, and a walking power unit disposed at the first side of the wheel frame unit and configured to provide power that changes relative positions between the plurality of peripheral regions.
