The way I see it if the two back wheels go forward and one of the front omni wheels go forward Does the robot go to the side? I just don't get it how does it move? i mean the omni wheels are not side ways and not being so wouldn't that just create a forward moving force if the omni wheel where to forward spin rather than a side ways force? Or are they on an axle and if so why not just put normal wheels there? or are they programed differently? |
Omniwheels can and have been used on traditional N-wheel-drive systems to improve the robot's ability to turn; no holonomic movement is achieved. You might want to read
