Omnidirectional Drive

Omnidirectional Drive is a wheeled locomotion mechanism that enables a robot to move in any direction without requiring a change in its orientation, distinguishing it from conventional drive systems by incorporating specialized wheels or actuation arrangements that facilitate lateral, longitudinal, and rotational motion simultaneously.
