An automated motorized device (110) may be configured to move on a structure (104), especially an aircraft wing or fuselage, for use in assembling operations thereon, for instance positioning a fastener. The automated motorized device may comprise a plurality of multifunction movement components (300),for instance primary or secondary legs, which may be attached to one or more movement assemblies (310). Functions of each multifunction movement component (300) may comprise adhering and moving. The adhering function is performed using sealing element (332), which may be used to create seal between corresponding multifunction movement component and structure. The moving function may be performed using a rolling element (340,344) , which may be configured to allow rolling on the structure. In some instances, one or more of the multifunction movement components may be configured to also provide floating function, which may be performed, e.g., mechanically or pneumatically (362,364,370). In some instances, three non-floating multifunction movement components may be configured to form a triangle, to enable maintaining contact with the structure, including when traversing compound surfaces.
