HYBRID ELECTRIC GROUND MOBILITY SYSTEM |
| 摘要 |
A wheel assembly for a vehicle includes a hub portion supporting a plurality of controllable variable length radially-oriented spoke elements supporting a conformable rim assembly supporting a tire element. The hub portion is concentric to an axis of rotation and includes a support structure. The controllable variable length radially-oriented spoke elements are perpendicular to the axis of rotation and each includes a first end mechanically coupled to the support structure of the hub portion, a length-varying actuator individually controllable to a selected length and a second end coupled to an inner periphery of the conformable rim assembly. The conformable rim assembly includes a plurality of segmented sections. |
