No, wheels are over. It’s time for all-electric belt-driven self-balancing omnidirectional orbs. This is the future of riding, and one day we’ll all be riding around on two big balls. If you could ...
The robot uses a single motor to drive its hemispherical omnidirectional gimbaled wheel, propelling it across the floor at amazing speeds with uncanny agility. The robot uses a simple two axis ...
These wheels enable a car to move laterally along the ground. Inventor William Liddiard created these omnidirectional wheels and put them on his own car. Liddiard calls this "all-wheel drive." ...
It is called the Celluveyor. It consists of several small hexagonal cells driven by omnidirectional wheels. The inventors were inspired by soccer-playing robots. They decided to take the robots ...
The real interesting bit is the 3D printed omnidirectional Mecanum wheels he’s designed to fit the motors, which he thinks could have far reaching applications beyond his own project.
