This paper presents an omnidirectional minirobot with conventional wheels that uses a synchro drive principle. The minirobot contains three pairs of conventional wheels and two D.C. motors. The transmission from the D.C. motors to the minirobot's wheels is achieved using geared mechanisms: three for steering and another three for displacement. The actuation and control system of the minirobot is described.
