Short summary
A deformable wheel mechanism with a single-degree-of-freedom drive is proposed for improved obstacle crossing in emergency operations. Its kinematics and performance, including its stiffness and expansion ratio, are analyzed and verified through simulations. A lightweight, stable resin prototype enhances expansion and stiffness, showing high adaptability and effectiveness for special vehicle wheels.
