The Amazing AIRTRAX Omni-Directional Wheels
Airtrax omni-directional technology allows this Sidewinder Lift Truck to move forward, diagonally, laterally, in any direction at all.
The wheel system can rotate 360 degrees in its own footprint or go sideways without turning at all.
The navigational options are virtually limitless. Applications are staggering: from power chairs for the disabled to military vehicles to robots.
They need to make these work for cars. Parallel parking would be so much easier.
Looks expensive, unreliable, and fragile. Other than that, awesome, with definite uses in a narrow range of applications.
What a clever & practical feat of engineering! Good going, guys!
That is a very cool piece of technology. Stumbled!
Might be Good for Factory Work, but how do they work on Concreate, Gravel, Dirt, and others?
