This study presents the processes undertaken in the design and development of an intelligent omnidirectional mobile robot using four custom-made mecanum wheels. The mecanum wheel developed consists of nine rollers made from delrin. All mecanum wheels are independently powered using four units of precisian gear DC motors and the wheel/motor assemblies were mounted directly to the robot chassis made using an aluminum frame. A four channel high power H- bridge using 2 units of LMD 18200 motor drivers IC circuit was design, built and interfaced to a Basic Stamp(BS2)microcontroller board. Basic mobility algorithm using Basic Stamp software was developed to test the basic mobility capabilities and test the qualitative view of the
