In the northeast corner of Tempe Campus of Arizona State University, behind a 4-inch thick metal door with a small glass window, stands a robot.
This robot is called ANDI and is the world's first robot capable of breathing and sweating.

Konrad Rykaczewski, associate professor of the School of Materials, Transportation and Energy engineering and Principal investigator of the new research project of Arizona State University, said, "ANDI can sweat" and "he can generate heat, tremble, walk and breathe".

At present, there are only 10 ANDI models worldwide, most of which are owned and used by sportswear companies for clothing testing. The ANDI of ASU is one of the two Mannequin used by research institutions, and also the first existing thermal Mannequin that can be used outdoors.

The main purpose of ANDI's development is to enable researchers to better understand the impact of high temperatures on the human body and what makes hot weather so deadly.

You cannot expose humans to extreme high temperatures for testing, "said Jenny Vanos, associate professor at the School of Sustainable Development, who focuses on the connection between extreme high temperatures and human health, especially among children, outdoor workers, and athletes.

We know there are some situations where heatwaves are taking away more and more lives, but we still don't fully understand what's going on. And ANDI can help us solve this problem.

ANDI can imitate the thermal function of the human body. It has 35 different surface areas, all of which are separately controlled by temperature sensors, Heat flux sensors and sweating pores.
