  2. Mecanum wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecanum_wheel

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killough_platform

    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.

    English: Mecanum wheel control principle. Movements to any directions: a) Moving straight ahead; b) Moving sideways; c) Moving diagonally; d) Moving around a bend; e) Rotation; f) Rotation around the central point of one axle

  6. Omni wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omni_wheel

    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.

  7. Numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

    Instructions are delivered to a CNC machine in the form of a sequential program of machine control instructions such as G-code and M-code, and then executed. The program can be written by a person or, far more often, generated by graphical computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. In the case of 3D printers ...

  8. Traction control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

    The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.
