Has anyone had any luck implementing a mecanum wheel robot platform? I have tried adapting the YouBot model used in Gazebo, but the wheels don't move.
Thanks

Re: mecanum wheels
It is a challenging simulation problem. Make sure to 'unlock' the joint motors first, as usual.
(for each joint, setJointMotorControl2(obUid, linkIndex, p.VELOCITY_CONTROL, force=0 or close to 0).
I haven't created such robot yet, it may require a lot of effort to set this up properly.

Re: mecanum wheels
Has anyone had any success with this yet? I'm currently facing the same problem. I have a custom model with four mecanum wheels, but they do not behave normally while traveling. Any advice will be appreciated.
