This research would investigate deeply the operation of an omni-directional mobile robot that is able to move with high acceleration. For the high acceleration performance, the vehicle utilizes the structure of Active Split Offset Casters (ASOCs). This paper is mainly focused on inverse kinematics of the structure, hardware design to secure durability and preserve the wheels' contact to the ground during high acceleration, and localization for the real time position control.
