A wheel device includes: a plurality of wing members configured to rotate around a central axis, wherein each wing member of the plurality of wing members may include an outer circumferential surface and each wing member of the plurality of wing members is configured to be movable to a first position in which the respective outer circumferential surfaces combine to form a circle, and to a second position in which an end of each outer circumferential surface is rotated away from the central axis of the wheel device; a deforming device configured to move each wing member of the plurality of wing members to the first position or the second position; a plurality of rollers provided on the respective outer circumferential surfaces of the plurality of wing members, wherein each roller of the plurality of rollers has a rotation axis that is not parallel to the central axis; and a braking device including a brake pad configured to contact one or more rollers of the plurality of rollers when the plurality of wing members are in the second position and to separate from the plurality of rollers when the plurality of wing members are in the first position.

A method and apparatus for connected deployable arms off of cylindrical surfaces including an outer cylinder defining an outer circumference and an inner cylinder concentric with the outer cylinder around a central aperture, one or more primary developable mechanisms linked to one or more secondary developable mechanisms. The deployable arms transition from a first closed state wherein the primary developable mechanisms and secondary developable mechanisms are contained entirely within the outer cylinder outer circumference to a second open state wherein the inner cylinder rotates relative to the outer cylinder, forcing the primary developable mechanisms and secondary developable mechanisms to extend outside the outer cylinder outer circumference.

A mobile object is configured so as to be capable of moving front and rear bases 10,30 object to each other in order to make a wheel base provided between the front wheels 12 and the rear wheels 32 expandable and contractible. The front base 10 moves so as to be expand and contract the tread width between the front wheels 12 in association with the expansion and the contraction of the wheel base achieved. The seating part 41 is configured so as to turn forward in association with the relative movement of the front and rear bases 10,30 in order to contract the wheel base and the tread width. The seating part 41 is configured so as to turn backward in association with the relative movement of the front and rear bases 10,30 in order to expand the wheel base and the tread width.

A wheel-legged amphibious mobile robot with a variable attack angle, which belongs to the technical field of robot structure technology. The robot includes three parts: motion unit, body trunk and power unit. As a key structure, the motion unit mainly includes a moving mechanism, a wheel assembly, a telescopic mechanism and a transmission device. The robot drives the telescopic mechanism to reciprocate linearly through a gear and rack set, and pushes “legs” to expand and retract, so as to realize a mutual switching between a wheeled mode and a gait mode. Under transmission of bevel gear set, the blades can rotate at any same angle at the same time, to change the attack angle and realize the steering. The robot provided by the present disclosure can effectively adapt to a complex and harsh amphibious environment, and meet a series of operation requirements such as rapid movement, obstacle climbing, underwater steering.

Disclosed is a folding bicycle, including: a front wheel, a rear wheel, a handlebar, a main frame, a support frame, a pedal mechanism, a first safety clamp, and a second safety clamp, the first safety clamp being configured to secure relative position between the support frame and the main frame; and a second rotating shaft is disposed between the through-hole and the position where the main frame joins with the handlebar. The folding bicycle disclosed offers an advantage of portability.
