Holonomic-motion ground vehicles (i.e., mobile platforms) that are ca- pable of controlled movement across non-level surfaces, while car- rying one or more nondestructive inspection sensors or other tools. The mobile platform comprises a frame (2) having four (or a multiple of four) Mecanum wheels (4), each wheel driven by a respective in- dependently controlled motor (8), and further having a plurality (e.g., two) of independently controlled suction devices (10). The Mecanum wheels enable holonomic motion, while the suction devices facilitate sufficiently precise control of motion on non-level surfaces.
