“…On the education point of view, several authors uses robotics as a teaching aid for the most different topics such as Electronics, Control Systems, mechatronics, sensors and actuators, prototyping, among the others [10], [11], [4]. Robotics can also be used as an inspiration in engineering Curriculum Design and Educational Assessment [12] and impact [13].…”

This paper presents a cost-effective approach of a mecanum wheel robotic platform for educational propose on the development of an autonomous or remote controlled mobile robot with a four-wheel mecanum drive train. The main structure of the mobile robot was developed in Solidworks and it was built using additive manufacturing to validate in a real scenario. The main objective of developing this type of mobile platform was the ability to transport different types of cargo or robotic arm on industrial spaces or on rough terrain, since the implemented suspension mechanism allows the wheels contact to the floor. Another important objective is the maneuverability and the capacity to be guided in various environments, a great advantage in this type of mobile platform. An additional advantage of the developed mobile robot is the easy way to reconfigure the structure for new acquired parts.
