In addressing the traction performance, mobility, and power consumption issues of lunar rover wheels, this study focuses on a bionic mesh wheel inspired by ostrich toe characteristics. By establishing a simulation environment and assembling a processed prototype wheel, both the bionic and comparative wheels underwent discrete element simulation experiments and traction and mobility tests. The experimental evaluation criteria included settlement depth and driving torque. The results revealed superior traction and mobility performance of the bionic wheel compared to the conventional wheel, with enhanced energy efficiency.

This study investigates the impact of 3D printed midsoles with biomimetic structures of varying densities on plantar pressure during static and dynamic motions. The midsoles were designed with three densities of Tyson polygon (TS) structures: 1TS, 2TS, and 3TS. Plantar pressure tests were conducted on midsoles during static and dynamic motions such as walking, running, and jumping. The data were analyzed based on hypotheses related to samples, motions, and 10 plantar pressure zones. As results, for static motion, all midsoles improved pressure distribution and reduced peak pressure compared to barefoot conditions, with 1TS being the most effective. During dynamic motions, 1TS and 2TS effectively distributed plantar pressure in the midfoot and heel areas, while 3TS provided better support and stability during high-intensity activities like jumping. Statistical analysis revealed that 1TS offered comfort and flexibility but lacked support, 2TS balanced support and cushioning, and 3TS provided superior support and stability but reduced elasticity during jumps. In dynamic motions, 1TS excelled in walking, and 2TS performed best in high-intensity activities such as running and jumping. In the meta areas (M2 and M3), 1TS reduced pressure by over 30% during walking and nearly 40% during running, while 3TS showed similar reductions during jumping, with BF showing higher pressures compared to running. Thus, this study highlights the effectiveness of 1TS and 2TS in reducing pressure in the meta and midfoot areas, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right midsole density for optimal comfort and performance across different activities.
