💨 Abstract

Researchers from South Korea's Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) have developed a 'morphing' wheel that can navigate obstacles up to 1.3 times the height of its radius, inspired by water droplet surface tension. The wheel changes from solid to fluid upon encountering impediments. Potential applications include wheelchairs, delivery vehicles, and even robots for surveillance.
