Ukraine’s military robots are getting tires that can’t go flat

Ukrainian engineers have swapped air-filled tires for 3D-printed airless wheels built around a flexing internal lattice, aiming to keep resupply and evacuation robots rolling after hitting shrapnel or barbed wire. The design is already on the front lines, and soldiers can swap damaged rims with hand tools instead of a repair shop.
