This is how the prototype is being designed to work , A video by Jean-Baptiste Mouret.

Inria and CNRS are teaming up with the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo University and the HIP Institute (Heritage, Preservation, Innovation) with the support of the Robeauté company and La Fondation Dassault Systèmes to design an innovative robot that could explore heritage buildings while leaving as few traces as possible. Scientists call this approach « minimally invasive robotic exploration. This prototype will soon been used to uncover the newly discovered voids at the pyramid of Khufu. What do you think is in these voids? It remained untouched even after 4500 years.
