Porton Thermal Manikin Equipment

Termék bevezetése:

Porton-man was commissioned by the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory （DSTL） to accurately represent military users. This is a state-of-the-art robotic model designed for the UK Armed Forces to test Chemical and biological （CB） protective clothing and equipment.

The porton-man is computer-controlled, and when connected to its drive frame, it can walk like an infantryman, travel （at 0.5 m/s to 1 m/s）， run, sit （at 2 m/s to 3 m/s）， kneel, climb stairs and raise its arms as if seeing a weapon. More than 100 sensors throughout the body can record data during testing, allowing scientists to perform real-time analysis.

Capabilities and Simulation:

The porton-man is computer-controlled, and when connected to its drive frame, it can walk like an infantryman, travel (at 0.5 m/s to 1 m/s), run, sit (at 2 m/s to 3 m/s), kneel, climb stairs and raise its arms as if seeing a weapon. This range of motion allows the robot to realistically simulate a variety of infantry movements and tasks, including locomotion at different speeds, changes in posture, and actions involving the upper body. This dynamic capability is crucial for evaluating how protective clothing performs during physical exertion and complex movements, which can impact its protective barrier, thermal comfort, and overall wearability.

Data Acquisition and Analysis:

More than 100 sensors throughout the body can record data during testing, allowing scientists to perform real-time analysis. These numerous sensors likely measure various parameters relevant to the performance of the protective gear and the simulated physiological responses of a human wearer. Data such as temperature, humidity, pressure differentials, and potentially mass transfer or agent penetration can be collected in real-time as the robot performs its movements. This extensive data allows for detailed analysis of the protective system's performance under specific, controlled dynamic conditions.
