A differential swerve drive has a carriage that pivots about a pivot axis relative to a base. A drive wheel is rotationally connected to the carriage. A planetary gear system includes a sun gear, a ring gear, a carrier, and at least one planet clear which is pivotally supported by the carrier and is disposed between and meshes with the sun gear and the ring gear. The carrier is fixed relative to the carriage, and an orbiting movement of the planet gear causes a pivoting movement of the carriage, Rotation of the planet gear about a planet axis causes rotation of the drive wheel. A first motor drives the sun gear; and a second motor drives the ring gear.
