An Ackermann rover controls its direction by pointing the front wheels in the direction of travel — the [Ackermann steering geometry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry) compensates for the fact that wheels on the inside and outside of the turn move at different rates.
This kind of steering is used on most commercial vehicles, including cars, trucks etc.

PX4 does not require that the vehicle uses the Ackermann geometry and will work with any front-steering rover.

Forward motion is achieved by driving both wheels at the same speed in the same direction.
Rotation is achieved by driving the wheels at different speeds in opposite directions, allowing the rover to turn on the spot.

A Mecanum rover is a type of mobile robot that uses Mecanum wheels to achieve omnidirectional movement. These wheels are unique because they have rollers mounted at a 45-degree angle around their circumference, allowing the rover to move not only forward and backward but also side-to-side and diagonally without needing to rotate first.
Each wheel is driven by its own motor, and by controlling the speed and direction of each motor, the rover can move in any direction or spin in place.
