Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wheel which has improved running property in a soft ground such as sands and muddy soil.SOLUTION: A robot which is used for moon exploration etc. includes a body 1 and the wheels 2 separately provided in a cross direction, at right and left sides of the body 1. Each of the wheels 2 includes a loop assembly 10 and a pair of guide plates 20. The loop assembly 10 includes a hub 11, a plurality of inner elastic loops 12 fixed at equal intervals to an outer circumference of the hub 11, and an outer elastic loop 13 fixed to the inner elastic loops 12 in a circumscribed fashion. The elastic loops 12 and 13 are composed of a steel belt and having spring elasticity. The pair of guide plates 20 are formed slender in a horizontal direction and are fitted in both edge portions of the outer elastic loop 13, and thereby, the outer elastic loop 13 is elastically deformed into a vertically crushed shape.
