wheels (6, 7) independent of each other, coupled to the
front assembly (2) with an articulation about an
essentially vertical axis (12), the aforesaid front and

motors (M1 - M4) which are independent of each other.
It is therefore possible to drive the wheels in such a
way that they transmit to the ground forces differing

rotation, in order to obtain a desired steering angle
