MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611036322 A) filed by Tiwari, Vinayak; and Yadav, Rishu Kumar on March 25, 2026, for An Apparatus For Multi-Terrain Adaptive Locomotion.
Inventors include Tiwari, Vinayak; and Yadav, Rishu Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus (102) for multi-terrain adaptive locomotion. The apparatus (102) includes a central hub (104) coupled to a drive shaft to enable rotational motion, wherein an outer hub casing (106) encloses internal mechanical elements and supports structural integrity. A plurality of spikes (112) is circumferentially distributed around the central hub (104) and extends through the outer hub casing (106), each spike including a spike outer casing (114) and an internal rod arranged for axial movement. A suspension element (116) facilitates compressive and restorative displacement of the plurality of spikes (112) during terrain interaction, enabling formation of a dynamically adaptive outer profile. A supporting ring (108) maintains alignment and provides reinforcement for the plurality of spikes (112), while a stopper ring (110) limits inward displacement to preserve a stable radial geometry. The apparatus (102) maintains continuous ground contact across varying terrain conditions.
