The deployment of such a wheel would be a gamechanger for helping robots or any other mobile system to negotiate obstacles in its path. As a first use case test, the researchers opted to install the changeable wheels on a wheelchair. And in their work with the wheelchair, such wheels demonstrated their ability to adapt in real time to variations in terrain, without the need for complex control systems.
