The world's first outdoor sweating, breathing and walking manikin, named Andi, is on Arizona State University's campus where researchers explain how Andi will be used.
"Ours is custom, made to go out in the real hot, dusty Arizona environment routinely," said Konrad Rykaczewski, an associated professor of mechanical engineering at ASU."In terms of the time course of a human experiencing hot environments of heat stress to heat strain, rising core temperature and that resulting in heat stroke or hypothermia that can put them in the hospital or dead," said Jennifer Vanos, an associated Professor at ASU.
"Humans are different. Our body shapes are different. The way we thermal regulate can differ depending on our age, or our sex, or our fitness level and so with Andi, we can program all those different factors in," she said. "We don't know exactly what's always happening over that time course in a human because it's dangerous to be studying that and with Andi, we can put him in these dire environments and see what could happen if they died," Vanos said.
