In this study an attempt has been made to design and manufacture a special type of wheel (in this case, Mecanum Wheel) is presented. The study was further extended to find practical application for mobile robotic platforms using mecanum wheels. When mobile robots are equipped with mecanum wheel, it gets the ability to move in any direction instantaneously without changing its orientation. The basic working of a system using mecanum wheel is by applying rotating force of individual wheel in one direction like regular wheels with difference in the fact that mecanum wheel systems can slide freely in a different direction. By using mecanum wheel the robot gets omni-directional abilities. Hence, when compared to conventional wheels, these wheels pose multiple advantages. The main advantage of using mecanum wheel system is, translational and rotational motions are decoupled for simple motion although in making an allowance for the fastest possible motion this is not essentially the case. The aim here was to construct a mobile robot which can be used in medical field. This paper describes some of the characteristics of mecanum wheel and its advantages over conventional wheel.
