Abstract
A corner module apparatus includes a drive unit installed inside a wheel to provide driving power to the wheel, a steering knuckle connected to the drive unit, a stationary shaft to support the steering knuckle so that the steering knuckle is rotatable, an actuator fixed to the steering knuckle to generate a rotational force, and a power transmission member connected to the actuator to rotate the steering knuckle about the stationary shaft in conjunction with the rotational force generated by the actuator.
