This feature allows the flying spherical vehicle to readily transform into a ground maneuverable vehicle. A robotic motor with differential speed capability is used to operate each wheel to provide effective ground maneuverability. There are examples provided herein of wheel configurations suitable for use with an embodiment. One is the straight- (or parallel) wheel design, and another is tilted-wheel design as are illustrated and discussed hereinafter. One embodiment of an unmanned flying robotic object taught herein is foldable.application/pdf24 pagesText11591083B64C 37/00B64C 1/30B64C 15/02B64C 39/024B62D 57/00B64U 30/20B64U 50/19B64U 10/13B64U 2101/00
