Wheeled Robots

The main reason for preferring a wheeled robot design is its simple locomotion mechanism. Wheeled robots can use different locomotion methods depending on their number of wheels. Generally two wheeled robots control their heading by differential steering method. This method is applicable to not only three wheeled, but also four wheeled robots. Besides differential steering method, four wheeled robots can implement car like steering methods. Similar to four wheeled robots, multi wheeled robots can implement both differential steering and car like steering methods.

Omni wheeled robots and single wheeled robots act like unicycles or balls have their own locomotion methods.
