Who is this for?
This steering robot is a good fit for anyone interested in robotics and advanced drivetrain design, from students and engineers to hobbyists who want to look beyond a standard four-wheel platform. It's a great example for anyone who wants to see how independently driven wheels let a robot perform moves a regular drivetrain can't, like driving sideways or spinning on the spot. As a demonstration of the full journey from technical drawing to a driving prototype, complete with its own control app, this project shows just how much goes into a build like this.
What makes it special?
What makes this robot special is that each wheel has its own steering and drive motor, enabling moves a normal robot can't make: driving straight sideways, spinning on the spot, or holding any angle in between. The entire chassis was designed in-house, built from sheet metal, and produced with CNC machining, with built-in safety logic that automatically stops the motors if the signal is lost. Control runs over Bluetooth through a custom Android app, which coordinates wheel angles and speeds through mathematical calculations so the robot always moves exactly where you point it.
