Holonomic

I saw Rowan talk about this while he was doing a research talk. F1TENTH also talks about this.

Actually, this is a pretty simple idea. A holonomic robot is a robot capable of moving in any direction by drawing a straight line.

It doesn’t have to reposition itself.

Ackermann Steering is non-holonomic. Any sort of car is non-holonomic.
