The omnidirectional MPO-700 is the ideal base for high-end service robots. Its four

Omni Drive Modules

(page 42) en-

able it to move extremely smoothly into any direction. This robot is even capable of rotating freely while driving to its
destination. The Omni Drive Modules of the MPO-700 feature important benefits compared to other omnidirectional
drive kinematics, like for example the MPO-500’s Mecanum wheels.

• Fully omnidirectional manoeuvrability

• Very steady movements

• High stability and payload

• Compact, easily integrated drive units

This makes the MPO-700 a premium alternative for applications that require omnidirectional movements without the
limitations of traditional kinematics.
