Hi,

"what's different between omniwheel, transwheel and swedish?"
Not much between the first two, as they're both wheels with rollers allowing them to slide sideway.
The last one is the language of Sweden  ???

Hi,

Just hits me... You're talking about a Mechanum wheel (which was invented by a Swede)
Here's a page (http://www.kornylak.com/wheels/wheels.html) with all three types and then some.

It sounds like homework to me?
Google each of them and compare them... When were they each invented, was any of them improvements over earlier types, what's their main pros and cons etc.

If we do your homework, you don't gain anything.
