title = "Design \& prototyping of a novel omni-directional wheel using progressive wave method",
abstract = "A new actuation approach coined as the {"}Progressive Wave Method{"} (PWM) was proposed recently [24]. The novelty lies in recognizing propagating electromagnetic wave generated from energized electromagnets in free space and visualizing them as {"}virtual gears{"}, which is analogous to mechanical gears employed in conventional gearing system. The heart of motion generation rest in the contactless meshing of the {"}virtual gears{"} created from electromagnets and permanent magnets. This technique offers a simpler alternative in the directional and velocity control aspect. This paper details the design of a novel omni-directional wheel. The primary objective was to implement this innovative wheel in replacement of traditional robotic platform using differential steering system with omni-directional wheels. The design focuses on exploiting the PWM and incorporating the motor drive within the wheel itself. A prototype was developed and the proposed working principle was validated.",
