The manikin uses electric power to simulate body heat and allows scientists to study heat transfer between human skin and the environment. A new study examining the role human hair textures play ...

The researchers used a thermal manikin -- a human-shaped model that uses electric power to simulate body heat and allows scientists to study heat transfer between human skin and the environment ...

Vanos says the manikin can be programmed to different body types and health levels. "Humans are different. Our body shapes are different. The way we thermal regulate can differ depending on our ...

Christopher Goulet/ASU ASU's ANDI is a Thermal Manikin Robot to Test ... will work together to understand human sweating mechanisms better, like changing skin temperature and core temperature ...
