... Omnidirectional mobile mechanisms have been extensively developed and implemented as mobile robots in factories, warehouses, and distribution centers, as they can travel through narrow spaces [ 1 – 4 ]. Omnidirectional mobile mechanisms are divided into nonholonomic and holonomic mechanisms. In holonomic...
