A wheel assembly for a vehicle includes a rotatable wheel having a
selectively adjustable steering angle. A steering actuator is operatively
connected to the wheel and is configured to selectively adjust the
steering angle of the wheel and not any other wheels. The wheel assembly
allows independent control of the steering angle of the wheel. The wheel
assembly also facilitates modular construction of vehicles by enabling
the packaging of mechanical steering components in a preassembled wheel
module with simple electrical connections to a vehicle chassis.
