Abstract

This paper describes the development of ″ProtoEusthen wheel″ that is a new kind of amphibious robotic wheel. The wheel works as a rimless wheel on land, as a paddle wheel on the water, and as an underwater paddle wheel in the water. The mechanism of the wheel is contrived, and made. Besides, theoretical formulas of the wheel are derived, and a driving experiment of it was done for examining the formulas.
