Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a reconfigurable mechanism for a variable diameter wheel. The variable diameter wheel is provided with only a single actuator for reconfigurable mechanism which is adapted for expansion and contraction of wheel segments. The reconfigurable mechanism for variable diameter wheel comprises at least one wheel assembly, at least a plurality of wheel segment, at least a linkage mechanism, at least one slider block, at least one slider link, at least one powering unit, at least one transmission mechanism and a frame. The frame supports at least one wheel assembly. Said at least one powering unit is isolated from said wheel assembly, wherein rotational motion of said wheel assembly is independent of motion transmission from said at least one powering unit to said slider link.
