OmniDrive
Omnidirectional base
A mobile base that moves in any direction, with a modular payload deck.
- Four independently driven mecanum wheels
- Sideways, diagonal and on-the-spot moves
- Modular payload deck
- Built in-house
The project
Where it stands
The platform
OmniDrive is a mobile base on four mecanum wheels. It drives forward, sideways and diagonally, and turns on the spot.
Working prototype
It is a working prototype, built in-house, with a deck that takes different payloads.
What comes next
It is the base we use for autonomous navigation work, so the next steps are on the software side.
