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 ...
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.
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.
Moving on, the tenth category are tires and wheels. The TETRIX MAX Robotics building system provides two type of wheel. There is the standard TETRIX MAX 4″ Wheel and the TETRIX MAX 4″ Omni Wheel. [5] The next category of parts are nuts, screws, and fasteners. These are the parts used to fasten all of the parts together.
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]

A hemispherical omnidirectional gimbaled wheel (HOG wheel) is a drive system utilizing a hemisphere spinning continuously on its axis. When the hemisphere is horizontal, it is like a spinning top, and applies negligible torque to its contact point on the ground. When tipped on edge, however, it pulls like a traditional circular wheel.
