3D printed transformable all-terrain robotic wheel

Carter Hurd is robotics enthusiast who developed this transformable 3d printed wheel that can go across different terrains and surface textures. It has a smooth side and transforms into spiked configuration when it needs more traction and grip.
Hopefully Carter will open source the design ...

Update: Carter replied to me that he will publish the design files and paper on the wheel soon on his homepage ... Thnx Carter!





Here is a video of earlier prototype:
