KUKA omniMove®

The omniMove® wheel consists of eight specially shaped, non-driven rollers, which are mounted between two identical stable rims. The unique advantage of this is that platforms with omniMove® wheels can be moved in any direction from a standing start. The wheels do not have a steering mechanism, as changes in direction are determined by the direction of rotation of the wheels relative to one another. The resulting maneuverability of the platform is comparable to the omnidirectional freedom of motion of a hovercraft. More information on http://www.kuka-omnimove.com
