A three wheeled mobile robot (8) configured to be widely versatile in its use due to its novel drive unit and capability to climb ferrous surfaces regardless of the surface curvature. The drive system is based on three parallel wheels (12, 14, 16) in a fixed orientation capable of approximating the most useful traits of Omni-directional capability while also having the ability to traverse surface obstacles. The robot (8) can also have the ability to scale work surfaces regardless of orientation to the ground or curvature of the surface due to the combination of the three-wheel drive system and magneticadhesion capabilities due to an adjustable onboard magnetic unit (24), which allows the robot to carry on a diverse number of work tasks on all ferrous surfaces via unlimited system integration.
