Britain has released a new robot model that will help the Army test the next generation of biological and chemical protective clothing
this robot model named “Burton man” can walk, March, run, sit and kneel, and even imitate the aiming movements of soldiers. Researchers can use the robot to test protective clothing designed to protect British soldiers from chemical and biological attacks, such as nerve agents such as sarin
the robot is manufactured by Buckingham based i-bodi Technologies Ltd. for the Defense Technology Laboratory in Wiltshire. The laboratory is responsible for testing the anti chemical warfare agent ability of soldiers’ clothing
defense science and technology laboratory has used robot models before, but the new bionic robot model has many improvements: its head can move, its moving range is larger, and its body is covered with sensors, so that researchers can conduct real-time analysis during testing
researchers say the new robots will bring another “step change” to the way the next generation of protective clothing responds to future threats
the head of the old robot is fixed on the body, while the head of the new robot can move, so as to test the different effects of the devices worn by the robot. 1n addition, the new version of the robot’s thumb can also be removed, easy to wear gloves, its ankle can also be bent
the new robot is installed on a turntable. 1n this way, it can not only be tested in the multi wind environment created by the fan, but also observe the reaction of the robot when the wind direction is different
researchers can also program the software of the newly developed “Burton man” robot to make it perform a series of actions in a specific scene, and test which equipment is suitable for the situation on the battlefield through the software
