A Mecanum wheel is an omnidirectional wheel design for a land-based vehicle to move in any direction. It is sometimes called the Swedish wheel or Ilon wheel after its inventor, Bengt Erland Ilon (1923–2008), [ 1 ] who conceived of the concept while working as an engineer with the Swedish company Mecanum AB, and patented it in the United ...
By combining two the motion of two-wheel the vehicle can move in the direction of the perpendicular wheel, or, by rotating all the wheels in the same direction, the vehicle can rotate in place. By using the resultant motion of the vector addition of the wheels a Killough platform is able to achieve omni-directional motion. [2]

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.
Omni wheels or poly wheels, similar to Mecanum wheels, are wheels with small discs (called rollers) around the circumference which are perpendicular to the turning direction. The effect is that the wheel can be driven with full force, but will also slide laterally with great ease. These wheels are often employed in holonomic drive systems.
