The robotic wheelchair developed by Korea's Institute for Machinery and Materials features a 'smart chain' wheel design that allows it to adapt to various terrains, including stairs and rocks. This innovation is a remarkable step in assistive technology, enhancing mobility for users.
Drawing inspiration from the surface tension of water droplets, the wheelchair's wheels utilize spokes connected by a chain which can adjust tension dynamically, providing a versatile and compliant movement across uneven surfaces.
