U Yong Nam, a section head at the Robotics Institute, has made a study of the mobile properties of an omnidirectional AGV with Mecanum wheels.
A Mecanum wheel, which is designed to move a vehicle in any direction, consists of a series of rollers attached to its circumference.
ADAMS was used for the simulation, where he analyzed the motion in X and Y directions, turning round on the position and oblique.
The simulation result showed that the velocity error in the X-direction movement and turning round on the position of the AGV is small and stabilization is fast, and vice-versa in the Y-direction movement and oblique.
The results verified that an AGV with four Mecanum wheels can operate in a static state.
