A robotic apparatus having first and second wheels with rollers coupled by a frame, third and fourth wheels with rollers circumferentially offset from the first and second wheels, and a clamping assembly coupled to the frame and configured to apply a force for urging the third and fourth wheels towards the pipe to secure the robotic apparatus thereon. Another robotic apparatus having first and second wheels with rollers on a first side of a pipe, third and fourth wheels with rollers on a second, opposing side of the pipe, and a clamping member coupling the first and second wheels to the third and fourth wheels and configured to apply a force for urging the wheels towards the pipe to secure the robotic apparatus thereon. The robotic apparatuses may have a modular design in which different sized clamping members/assemblies can be swapped out to accommodate pipes of different diameters.
