  • Patent number: 10259260
    Abstract: A transformable wheel includes a wheel frame including a plurality of contact portions and a plurality of recessed portions. A plurality of transforming members is provided wherein one side of each transforming member is rotatably coupled to a corresponding one of the recessed portions and an outer surface of each transforming member forming a portion of the wheel frame. A rotating member is provided at one side surface of the wheel frame, and includes a plurality of transformation locking members arranged radially from the central axis of the wheel frame to correspond to the plurality of transforming members, respectively. A driving member is configured to rotate the rotating members by a preset angle about the central axis of the wheel frame.

  • Patent number: 9841267
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surface roughness sensor apparatus. The surface roughness sensor apparatus includes: a rotatable rotation shaft; a piezoelectric sensor provided along a circumference of the rotation shaft, rotated by rotation of the rotation shaft, and configured to generate a sensing signal in response to a pressure applied by a surface of an object as being in direct contact with the surface of the object; and a signal transfer unit configured to transfer the sensing signal generated and transmitted by the piezoelectric sensor to the outside of the sensor apparatus, and the piezoelectric sensor may be rotated in a direction in which a relative movement between the piezoelectric sensor and the surface of the object is made at a contact point with the object to minimize damage to the surface of the object.
