WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/003886
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This omnidirectional movement device is provided with a spherical rotational solid (12), and omni-wheels (401)-(404) serving as wheels. A plurality of wheels are disposed in contact with a surface of the rotational solid (12) about an axis (121) of a rotating shaft (120) that causes the rotational solid (12) to roll and move along a straight line, the wheels rotate in a circumferential direction to transfer motive power to the rotational solid (12), and the wheels are capable of rolling the rotational solid (12) in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction.
