A modular robotic assembly including a first and second pod assembly. The first pod assembly including a first frame assembly extending a first length along a first longitudinal axis, a displacement assembly housed at least partially within the first frame assembly, and a shaft rotatably supported by the displacement assembly at a first end region of the shaft. The shaft extending out of the first frame assembly and coupled with a tooling attachment at a second end region of the shaft. The second pod assembly operably coupled with the first pod assembly such that the first and second pod assemblies operate as a functional unit to perform a task within a conduit. The second pod assembly including a second frame assembly extending a second length along a second longitudinal axis, and a drive mechanism configured to provide movement for the functional unit.
