Airtrax omni-directional technology allows this Sidewinder Lift Truck to move forward, diagonally, laterally, in any direction at all. The wheel system can rotate 360 degrees in its own footprint or go sideways without turning at all. The navigational options are virtually limitless. Applications are staggering: from power chairs for the disabled to military vehicles to robots.

A unique wheelchair-like vehicle permits movement in any direction. Two of these "Flowriders" are able to join up and create composite motion - neither driver is in complete control, but rather influence the movement. This was a student project of mine while at design school. More info at www.miksovsky.com/ch ris.
