Wheels for passenger car support the car weight with tires. and they transmit rolling and braking power into the ground. Whittliing away at wheel weight is more effective to boost fuel economy that lighting vehicle body structure. A shape of hole in disk is optimized for minimizing the weight of steel wheel. Pro/ENGINEER program is used for formulating the design model. and ANSYS package is selected for analyzing the design model. It has difficulties 10 interface these commercial software directly. For combining both programs. response surface methodology is applied to construct approximation functions for maximum stresses and maximum displacements are obtained by full factorial design of five levels. This steel wheel is modeled in 14-inch diameter of rim. and wide parameter of hole in disk is only selected as design variable for reducing the weight of steel wheel. PLBA(Pshenichny·Lim-Belegundu_arora) algorithm. which uses the second-order information in the direction finding problem and uses the active set strategy. is used for solving optimization problems.

In this paper, an attempt has been made by incorporating variable wheel arrangement for a car-like robot. In this scheme, the car-like robot controls its body height and the length of forward and backward wheels while driving in omni-direction. Experimental results show that the proposed car-like robot with wheel arrangement variable structure presents effectiveness of several situations.(a. left and right turn, b. longitudinal and latitudinal parking, c. control of body height and the length of forward and backward wheels, d. passing over obstacles, e. adaptive cruise control.)
