Problem
Combine flat-ground efficiency with obstacle capability inside a compact wheel envelope.
SYSTEM 002 / 2023
Transformable Wheel Robot
One chassis, two locomotion logics
A mobile robot whose wheel mechanism transitions between efficient rolling and terrain-adaptive legged states.
Physical prototype
Mechanical engineer · Wheel mechanism · Full-system CAD and simulation
SolidWorks · Motion simulation · Mechanical design
Method
Use linked wheel petals and a constrained six-bar transmission to control shape change while retaining a continuous drive path.
Result
Completed the mechanical scheme, CAD assembly, motion demonstrations and competition delivery.
Evidence, not decoration.
Project media is presented as engineering evidence: motion, geometry, interfaces and prototype behaviour.
