Why Do Moon Cave Robots Need a Wheel Like This?

Future lunar robots may need to explore deep lava tubes hidden beneath the Moon’s surface. But how do you safely enter a cave that begins with a steep crater or even a vertical drop? This video explores a fascinating new deployable wheel that can fold for launch, expand for mobility, and absorb impacts from extreme drops. paper:https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/s...
