Revision history [back]

As far as I can tell the four wheel steering controller is intended to be used with four wheel ackerman type steering. So it is not capable of moving in an omni-directional (holonomic) way.

A four meccanum wheel robot may be what you're looking for and there is a ROS package which support this. Here is a video of such a robot in action.

Hope this helps.
