Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (https://www.cmu.edu/) are working on a wheel-to-track mechanism that renders combat vehicles capable of conquering any terrain with ease. The wheel turns into a track while the vehicle is still moving.
This research is part of DARPA's GXV-T program (https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2018-06-22) to increase the mobility and safety of military vehicles. Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/07/03/military-developing-shape-shifting-wheel/)
