A compliant wheel includes a hub portion and a resilient portion. The hub portion defines an axis and a longitudinal plane. The resilient portion extends radially from the hub portion, and includes a plurality of elements, and a plurality of fold lines. A first element of the plurality of elements and a second element of the plurality of elements are connected by one of the plurality of fold lines. The one of the plurality of fold lines defines a bend axis, and the first element is configured to resiliently move relative to the second element about the bend axis.
