Abstract

A 360-degree rotating wheel apparatus may include a cap unit defining a driving space at a lower side of the cap unit; an in-wheel driving unit provided in the driving space in the cap unit and configured to generate a driving force during operation thereof; and an angle adjustment unit coupling the in-wheel driving unit and the cap unit to each other and configured to cause the in-wheel driving unit to rotate in a circumferential direction of the cap unit so that a traveling direction of the 360-degree rotating wheel apparatus determined according to operation of the in-wheel driving unit is changed by 360 degrees around a vertical axis, increasing the traveling range of the wheel apparatus, and which is easily applicable to a mobility to be improved in usability thereof.
