Independent steering device having a steering angle measuring device and a vehicle including the same

An independent steering device comprising:

• a knuckle coupled to a wheel;
• a driving unit including a motor and a reducer, the motor configured to provide driving force for rotating the knuckle, at least a portion of the reducer rotatably connected to the knuckle, the reducer configured to decelerate a rotational movement of the motor and transmit the rotational movement to the knuckle;
• and
• a steering angle measuring device coupled to the knuckle and the driving unit and configured to measure a steering angle of the wheel,
• wherein the steering angle measuring device includes a body coupled to the knuckle and configured to rotate with the knuckle, a shaft rotatably coupled to the body, and a rod coaxially extending from the shaft and fixed to at least a portion of the driving unit
• wherein the driving unit further includes a bracket to which the motor and the reducer are coupled to a lower surface thereof in parallel, and a cover coupled to an upper surface of the bracket;
• and
• wherein the rod penetrates through at least an additional portion of the reducer and has one end fixed to a holder provided on the cover.
