#18 No Japanese robot walks with a natural human gait to simulate actual wear and tear on clothing . This robot sweats and changes temperature like a soldier would while wearing a chemical protection suit. It is connected by many wires and cables to supply power for days of operation and to control temps and humidity.
"PETMAN is an anthropomorphic robot for testing chemical protection clothing. Unlike previous suit testers, which had to be supported mechanically and had a limited repertoire of motion, PETMAN will balance itself and move freely; walking, crawling and doing a variety of suit-stressing calisthenics during exposure to chemical warfare agents. PETMAN will also simulate human physiology within the protective suit by controlling temperature, humidity and sweating when necessary, all to provide realistic test conditions.
Natural, agile movement is essential for PETMAN to simulate how a soldier stresses protective clothing under realistic conditions. The robot will have the shape and size of a standard human, making it the first anthropomorphic robot that moves dynamically like a real person."

I wonder how much money they wasted to build a robot to test clothes...?
