In the USA, they created a walking mannequin that breathes and sweats (5 photos + 1 video)

Scientists from Arizona State University have created a walking mannequin, who sweats, trembles, walks and breathes like a man. The purpose of creating such droid — to study how overheating affects our body, and help fight influenced by extreme temperatures.





ANDI is a test mannequin droid created by experts Arizona State University. To create it, scientists rebuilt a robot used by clothing companies to sports equipment to mimic the functions of a human body. The droid is equipped with synthetic pores for artificial sweating and temperature sensors in 35 areas of the body. it's the same the first thermal manikin suitable for outdoor use.



With the help of a droid, scientists intend to understand how our body tolerates various harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures. To test a stable robot, they can even be exposed to extreme temperatures of the Arizona desert.

"We can't put people in dangerous extreme conditions and check what happens. But there were times when people were dying from the heat, and we did not fully understand what had happened. Droid can help us figure this out," said the atmospherics specialist. influences Jenny Vanos.





Across the United States, thousands of people die each year from heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses. As climate change, these numbers are increasing. In only one county 2022 Arizona Maricopa from Medical Issues Related to heat, 425 people died. This is 100 more than statistics for 2021. The researchers hope to lower these numbers, defining how people of different ages with different body types and diseases react to extreme heat, long stay on sun and other conditions.



In a lab that experts call the "warm room" the droid is exposed to wind, solar radiation and temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. In addition, the temperature in the laboratory can be adjusted in such a way as to simulate various forms of thermal impacts that are typical for any point of our planet. But the most the droid does a lot of work outdoors, in the desert. Sensors ANDI collect data on body type response to solar radiation, infrared radiation and other heat.
