Scaringe—a bespectacled mechanical engineer with a PhD from MIT—a billionaire by the age of 38. But for proof, the R1T successfully completed the TransAmerica Trail, a roughly 5,000-mile gauntlet from North Carolina to the Oregon coast. Instead, it’s the Rivian R1T, from the California start-up that’s already made founder R.J.

A single torus wheel is made of an elastic elongated coil spring in which the two ends of the coil connected each other and is driven by a piezoelectric actuator (stator) that can generate 2-degrees-of-freedom (axial and angular) motions. We propose a palm-sized omnidirectional mobile robot with two torus wheels. Paper ] Thanks, Ayato!
