Mecanum Rover (2013) by Vstone, Osaka. The Mecanum Rover uses mecanum wheels to generate movement forward, backward, turning, and tracking sideways, depending on the speed and rotation direction of each wheel. With rollers oriented 45° to the wheel axle and wheel plane, each wheel produces a force perpendicular to the roller axle. By spinning different sets of wheels in opposite directions, the combined force vectors allow vehicle motion in almost any direction and rotation.
