Abstract
Omni-directional mobile robots are very attractive because they have a very good mobility, which make them appropriate when they have to move in tight areas, avoid obstacles, and find the way to the next location. To move with precision in such environments, the accurate estimation of the position is very important. The authors provide in this paper information about the design of an omni-directional robot and its control system. Also, preliminary ideas about the design of an odometer are presented.
