The wheeled mobile robot has been considered a planner mechanism with linear and angular movement over a horizontal plane. In particular, the wheeled mobile robot’s movement is assumed to result from pure rolling of wheels without slipping. The kinematics model is one of the most fundamental steps in studying any mobile robot. This research presents the kinematic equations of movement of a mobile robot with mecanum wheels. The resulting mathematical model of a wheeled mobile robot was produced using the MATLAB R2014a program. The kinematic modeling technique was investigated by simulating a robot’s walk on a square path.
