Abstract
An embodiment wheel includes a wheel frame unit including a plurality of peripheral regions, a driving power unit disposed at a first side of the wheel frame unit and configured to provide a rotational force that allows the wheel frame unit to perform a rotational motion about a central axis, and a walking power unit disposed at the first side of the wheel frame unit and configured to provide power that changes relative positions between the plurality of peripheral regions.
Claims20
A wheel comprising:
- a wheel frame unit comprising a plurality of peripheral regions;
- a driving power unit disposed at a first side of the wheel frame unit and configured to provide a rotational force that allows the wheel frame unit to perform a rotational motion about a central axis;
- and
- a walking power unit disposed at the first side of the wheel frame unit and configured to provide power that changes relative positions between the plurality of peripheral regions;
- wherein the wheel frame unit further comprises extension regions each having one side coupled to the walking power unit and extending from one side thereof in a radial direction of the wheel frame unit;
- and
- wherein the peripheral regions comprise first peripheral regions each having one side fixedly coupled to one of the extension regions, respectively and second peripheral regions each having one side rotatably coupled to one of the extension regions or one of the first peripheral regions.
