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.
