This thesis investigates the strengths and weaknesses of omnidirectional drive and differential drive systems on mobile manipulator robots. Based on a literature study, a hypothetical use case, and identified Key Performace Indicators the drive system’s effects on the performance of the mobile manipulator are evaluated. A qualitative approach was used for evaluation. The research methodology involved analyzing the wheel characteristics of each drive system, identifying parameters affecting the performance, and assessing the two drive system characteristics within the context of the hypothetical use case. Six Key Performance Indicators such as pose accuracy, space utilization, and manipulability were formulated and examined to determine the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the drive systems. The results confirmed that omnidirectional drive systems exhibit greater maneuverability and agility while differential drive systems are less complex and often more durable in rough conditions. However, the results also show that in many cases the answer on what drive system to use will depend on many factors and that these factors can affect the overall performance of the mobile manipulator. This study provides insights into performance-affecting parameters and relevant performance aspects by examining the strengths and weaknesses of omnidirectional and differential drive systems. While acknowledging the need for caution in generalizing the findings and assuming validity in real-world applications, the results obtained serve as a starting point for further investigations. ; Detta examensarbete undersöker styrkor och svagheter hos omnidirektionella drivsystem och differentialdrivsystem på mobila manipulatorer. En kvalitativ metod, baserat på en litteraturstudie, ett hypotetiskt användningsscenario och identifierade prestationsindikatorer, användes för att utvärdera drivsystemets effekter på den mobila manipulatorns prestanda. Forskningsmetodiken innebar att analysera hjulegenskaperna för varje drivsystem, identifiera ...
