There are various use cases for our socially intelligent robots and humanoid figures. The case study below highlights a use for robots you may not have considered.
Realbotix Aids in Military Training with Cutting-Edge Technology
Johns Hopkins Hospital and the United States Armed Forces, working in a joint initiative, commissioned Realbotix to build a lifelike robot. Our task involved creating a humanoid figure that accurately replicated the human form, inclusive of appearance and weight.
Realbotix created an accelerometer-loaded, 170lb, life-sized robot programmed to collect data that would indicate where points of pain and injury might occur if it were human. The robot was placed in a conflict zone simulation where military personnel performed scenarios that involved removing the robot from danger. Movements and impacts to the robot were captured in real-time, informing military trainers on the safest and most efficient ways to transport injured soldiers out of combat scenarios.
