The CMU URANUS Mobile Robot [5] was the first mobile robot with Mecanum wheels built in 1985 and was used for two decades for autonomous navigation research. [6] CMU's "Tessellator" robot, [7] designed in 1992 for servicing Space Shuttle tiles, also used Mecanum wheels. [8] A wheelchair using Mecanum wheels was presented at the 2006 EVER Monaco ...
Robocar cars are deployed at a low speed, so-called, “explorer mode” and track data in this mode by using sensors such as LIDARS, radars, ultrasonics, and cameras to determine the fastest route around the track. [6] The car's final design is to have four wheels hiden inside the vast aerodynamic scoops.
They are often used in intelligent robot research for small autonomous robots. In projects such as VEX Robotics, Robocup and FIRST Robotics, many robots use these wheels to have the ability to move in all directions. Omni wheels are also sometimes employed as powered casters for differential drive robots to make turning faster. Omniwheels are ...
BIG TRAK / bigtrak is a programmable toy electric vehicle created by Milton Bradley in 1979, resembling a futuristic Sci-Fi tank / utility vehicle. [1] The original Big Trak was a six-wheeled (two-wheel drive) tank with a front-mounted blue "photon beam" headlamp, and a keypad on top.
What those little Olympic track-and-field robots do. The little cars are, in fact, recovery robots used to transport thrown objects (e.g. discus, javelins, hammers) back to where they belong after ...
A show car of the Robocar on display at the 2017 Berlin ePrix One of the Nvidia Roborace cars in Munich. The world's first purpose-built autonomous racing car, Robocar, was designed by Daniel Simon, who previously worked on vehicles for movies such as Tron: Legacy and Oblivion, as well as designing the livery for the 2011 HRT Formula One car.

Path of wheels through a turn. The wheels are not connected, despite how it appears. If both the wheels are driven in the same direction and speed, the robot will go in a straight line. If both wheels are turned with equal speed in opposite directions, as is clear from the diagram shown, the robot will rotate about the central point of the axis.
the BattleBot OMINOUS, shown here with a Kiwi Drive. A Kiwi drive is a holonomic drive system of three omni-directional wheels (such as omni wheels or Mecanum wheels), 120 degrees from each other, that enables movement in any direction using only three motors.
