Seat Comfort Research
A robot equipped with an electronic brain and 97 “nerve cells” is being used by Ford engineers in Britain to obtain accurate information on the correct measurements for seating comfort. The robot is built of plastic and metal, and is designed to show if a car seat will be comfortable for both short and long journeys, and if not, where the faults are. By using the device in conjunction with a computer and a special seat, the engineers believe they have succeeded in finding the ideal pressure patterns-for seats.
