    Abstract: An omni wheel, a motion device and a control method thereof are disclosed. The omni wheel includes a center wheel and a plurality of peripheral wheels distributed in a circle with respect to an axis of the center wheel; and a peripheral wheel brake component disposed on the centre wheel and configured to control a resistance of the peripheral wheels during a rotation of the peripheral wheels. The omni wheel solves the problem of low braking performance of the motion device by increasing the resistance of the peripheral wheels during rotation, and avoids any random rotation of the peripheral wheels.
