The wheel has smaller rollers arranged around it in a ring; when the main wheel spins, these angled rollers let the vacuum slide forward, back, left, right, or diagonally without the robot needing to rotate its body.Why are omnidirectional wheels better for cleaning corners and edges?

Omnidirectional wheels let the vacuum glide sideways into corners and along baseboards, so it can navigate tight spots more efficiently than standard wheels, which force the robot to awkwardly maneuver or miss spots.
