Omni Wheel
Robots employing omni wheel are capable of
moving in any direction by changing velocity and
direction of each wheel without changing its
orientation.As there are small rollers around the
circumference of omni wheels which are
perpendicular to the rolling direction making
them capable of sliding laterally.

Mecanum wheel
Mecanum wheel is a conventional wheel with a
series of rollers attached to its circumference.these
rollers have an axis of ratation at 45° to the plane of
wheel. A mecanum wheel robot usually is
four-wheeled.,the vehicle is stable and can be made
to move in any direction and turn by varying the
speed and direction of each wheel.Moving all four
wheels in the same direction causes forward or
backward movement,running the wheels on one
side in the opposite direction to those on the orther
side causes rotation of the vehicle,and running the
wheels on one diagonal in the opposite direction to
Mecanum wheel those on the other diagonal cause sideways
movement.Combined motiond motion is also possible.
