The invention provides an omni-directional mobile wheel module. A steering engine and a spline shaft are mounted on a main mounting plate. A spline shaft gear is fixed at one end of the spline shaft, and a U-shaped plate is fixed at the other end of the spline shaft. A steering engine gear on a steering engine output shaft is meshed with the spline shaft gear. The left end and the right end of a wheel hub motor rotation shaft are fixed at the two branch end parts of the U-shaped plate, and a control panel receives an external command for controlling the turning and movement of a wheel hub motor through a communication interface. The steering engine is connected with the control panel, and the rotation angle of the steering engine is controlled according to the command sent by the control panel. The wheel hub motor is connected with a driver, and the driver is connected with the control panel and controls the wheel hub motor to move forwards and backwards according to the command sent by the control panel. The omni-directional mobile wheel module integrates turning and move functions, so that an omni-directional mobile wheel becomes a separate module. The omni-directional mobile wheel module is suitable for the outdoor common ground and is easy to operate and control. After the omni-directional mobile wheel module is mounted on a robot, the flexibility of the robot can be increased.
