Vision-Swerve
Swerve drive base
A base with four steered wheel modules; chassis, drive electronics and camera integration under way.
- Four independently steered and driven wheel modules
- Moves in any direction, rotates in place
- Camera integration under way
- Chassis and drive electronics in progress
The project
Where it stands
The platform
Vision-Swerve is a mobile base with four wheel modules that each steer and drive on their own, so the base can move in any direction and rotate in place.
In development
In development. The chassis and the drive electronics are being built, and a camera is being integrated.
What comes next
Closing the loop: using the camera picture to decide how the base moves.
