"Swerve module" is the phrase most CD folks use to refer to an in-line orientable wheel like figure 1 a) in the paper.
"Swerve" usually refers to a
vehicle using swerve modules in a particular way.
This is from page 3671 of the paper you linked:

In the past, four wheel steering vehicle[7] has been developed. The vehicle has steering wheels with conventional tires and can move in the omnidirection by orienting all wheels in the same direction

Is the above-quoted description your intended meaning of swerve in your earlier statement
"swerve is by definition non holonomic"?
Or are you claiming that a swerve vehicle with four swerve modules --
each of which can be steered and driven independently of the others -- is "non holonomic" ?
Or did you mean something else entirely ?
