Reconfigurable Wheel Track & Extreme Travel Suspension By DARPA

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 tactical… Continue reading Reconfigurable Wheel Track & Extreme Travel Suspension By DARPA
