In this paper, we focus on a new omni-directional vehicle ""The Vuton-II"" that was developed for use as a transport vehicle to operate within factories, hospitals and warehouses. This vehicle is composed of using three or more ""Omni-Discs"". Its mechanism ensures that individual wheels of the assembly are always aligned in the same direction, and can always roll freely. The Vuton-II is designed to be low in cost, short in stature, and to bear a reasonably high payload.
