Nexus Robot introduces the 100mm Omnidirectional Wheel (Brass Bearing for Rollers). This omni-wheel could be mounted to Nexus Robot kit 10003 and 3WD Omni-Directional Arduino Compatible Mobile Robot. The Omni-directional wheels are unique as they are able to roll freely in two directions. The Omni-direction wheels allow a robot to convert from a non-holonomic to a holonomic robot. A non-holonomic robot that uses normal wheels has only 2 out of 3 controllable degrees-of-freedom – moving forward/backwards and rotation. Not being able to move side ways makes a robot slower and less efficient in reaching its given goal.

Brief introduction of Omni-wheel
Omni-directional wheels are unique as they are able to roll freely in two directions .It can ether
roll like a normal wheel or roll laterally using the wheels along its circumference.Omni-direction
wheels allow a robot to convert from a non-holonomic to a holonomic robot.A non-holonomic
robot that uses normal wheels has only 2 out of 3 controllable degrees-of-freedom which
are,moving forward/backwards and rotation.Not being able to move side ways makes a robot
slower and less efficient in reaching its given goal. The holonomic omni-directional wheels are
able to overcome this problem,as it it a highly maneuverable.Unlike normal non-holonomic
robot,the holonomic omni-directional robot can move in an arbitrary direction continuously
without changing the direction of the wheels.It can move back and forth,slidewaysmand rotates
at the same position.
