Publication number: 20240270063Abstract: A driving module includes a wheel unit, a first driving unit, a second driving unit, and a third driving unit. The wheel unit includes a traveling wheel that has a center through which a wheel rotation axis passes. The first driving unit includes a first shaft member that is coupled to the wheel unit so that rotation driving force about a first rotation axis eccentric from the wheel rotation axis in a radial direction of the wheel unit is applied to the wheel unit to thereby rotate the traveling wheel about the wheel rotation axis. The second driving unit is coupled to the wheel unit to rotate the wheel unit about the first rotation axis and having a cavity through which the first shaft member passes. The third driving unit is configured to steer the wheel unit about a second rotation axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2023Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Dae Keun Yoon, Eun Ho Seo, Geun Sang Yu
