«Breaking News» Ford unveils a cheeky robot that mimics a sweaty human bottom

Car manufacturer Ford uses a 'mechanised posterior' to simulate a sweaty person's bottom, it has been revealed.

Ford says it uses the robot designed to imitate a large man who has just finished exercising, to test the durability of its seats.  

The American car maker says the 'Robutt' guarantees customer's seats will stay springy after several years of use. 

Robutt, Ford claims, reveals the 'exact pass pattern of a person's sitting behaviour' and allows the firm to build better car seats. 

Footage of the creation was released by Ford to show the unusual process.

Ford has a 'mechanised posterior' that simulates a human's to test that their car seats and guarantee they stay springy through years of use. The 'Robutt' performs a 'sweat bottom test' in which the dummy bottom mimics a person sitting in a car seat after exercising

Ford's 'sweat bottom test' mimics a person sitting in a car seat after exercising.

It is heated to 'approximate human body temperature' or 36°C (97°F) and soaked with 450 millilitres (15 fl oz) of water.

The water is fed through the dummy to act as perspiration before sitting in the seat 7,500 times.  

Florian Rohwer, development engineer, Body and Chassis Labs, Ford of Europe, said: 'Cars are a part of our everyday lives, and at this time of year in particular, so is exercise.

'The Robutt is a great way to check our seats will look good for years to come.'  

The bot is based on the dimensions of a large man, and is controlled by engineers to sit, bounce and twist in the car seat.

Footage of the creation, dubbed 'Robutt', was released by Ford to show how they test the durability of the fabric and cushions used in their seats stay comfortable. The dummy performs the action of getting in and out of the car

During the sweaty bottom test, the bottom is heated to 'approximate human body temperature' or 36° C and soaked with 450 millilitres of water. The water is fed through the dummy to act as perspiration before sitting in the seat 7,500 times, which represents a decade of use

The dummy also recreates getting in and out of the car around 25,000 times - the equivalent of a decade of use in three weeks.

Svenja Froehlich, a Ford durability engineer, said: 'From the first moment we get into a car, the seat creates an impression of comfort and quality

'Previously, we used pneumatic cylinders that simply moved up and down.

'With the 'Robutt', we are now able to replicate very accurately how people really behave.'

WILL YOUR JOB BE TAKEN BY A ROBOT?

A report in November 2017 suggested that physical jobs in predictable environments, including machine-operators and fast-food workers, are the most likely to be replaced by robots.

Management consultancy firm McKinsey, based in New York, focused on the amount of jobs that would be lost to automation, and what professions were most at risk.

The report said collecting and processing data are two other categories of activities that increasingly can be done better and faster with machines. 

This could displace large amounts of labour - for instance, in mortgages, paralegal work, accounting, and back-office transaction processing.

Conversely, jobs in unpredictable environments are least are risk.

The report added: 'Occupations such as gardeners, plumbers, or providers of child- and eldercare - will also generally see less automation by 2030, because they are technically difficult to automate and often command relatively lower wages, which makes automation a less attractive business proposition.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
