Define "standard" swerve...
Unicorn is "4-wheel independent-steering and independent-driven drivetrain, with unlimited rotation of the wheels and sensors, and no gaps in the sensor feedback?"

You might also call it an idealized swerve drive. A more common approach is coaxial swerve, where each side rotates together, and has a limited range of rotation (usually no more than 360 degrees). Another approach might be to have all 4 swerve modules rotate together.
