It combines the simplicity of wheels with one of the advantages of legs. I can see obvious applications for small robots and extraterrestrial rovers.
And it climbs passively without need for any sensors or actuators. It's cheap and can be 3-D printed where it's needed.
They say that it rolls smoothly without any more vibration than a normal wheel.
I like cheap, simple engineering solutions like this.
