A corner module apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- a driver configured to provide a driving force to a wheel of a vehicle;
- a suspension connected to the driver, and being configured to absorb shock transferred from a road surface;
- and
- a steering unit connected to the suspension, the steering unit rotatably installed under a frame module installed at a bottom of a vehicle body, and being configured to adjust a steering angle of the wheel,
- wherein the steering unit comprises:
- a steering body disposed to face a bottom surface of the frame module, and being configured to support the suspension unit;
- and
- a steering driver installed in the steering body, and being configured to rotatably support the steering body with respect to the frame module,
- wherein the steering driver comprises:
- a power generation module configured to receive power and generate a rotational force,
- a rotating module spaced apart from the power generation module, and being configured to rotate around the frame module based on the rotational force generated by the power generation module;
- and
- a power transmission module provided between the power generation module and the rotating module, and being configured to transmit the rotational force, generated by the power generation module, to the rotating module,
- wherein the power generation module revolves around the rotating module as the rotating module rotates around the frame module, the power generation module being further configured to rotate relative to the frame module.
