    摘要: An omni-directional rotational drive mechanism and a moving body in which production and maintenance can be facilitated, while the size can be reduced, by making the number of components smaller. A rotating body provided for a wheel member rotatable about a ring-shaped shaft having a rotating shaft of the wheel member as its center. The rotating body is configured to rotate integrally with the wheel member about the rotating shaft. A pair of worms rotatable about the same shaft as the rotating shaft of the wheel member. A pair of worm wheels are provided for the wheel member so as to be rotatable by meshing with different worms, and capable of transmitting each of rotations to the rotating body. The rotating body is configured so as to rotate or stop with respect to the wheel member in accordance with the rotational direction and the rotational speed of the respective worms.
