Strangely enough, they have their own web site.

http://omniwheel.com/

Acroname has them by the name polywheel roller.

The larger subject that is quite surprizing if you aren't
familiar with it is holonomic drive. It works better than you
might expect. But I think you're right, on the scale of
obstacles outdoors, as comparted to smooth floors, it's not so
good.
