The GMV Foxiris robot measures 35x90 cm, with a camera on a telescopic mast that can reach up to 1.8 m. It is designed to make measurements, analysing the data and alerting the operator if readings do not correspond to the normal operating range. The robot is based on knowledge from developing mobile space platforms by GMV and its partners, such as ESA's ExoMars rover.
