Exploring the cause of injury or death in grain entrapment, engulfment and extrication
… in a full scale setting using a full sized mannequin (185 lb) in corn and soybeans. This is an important study since grain bin roofs are not generally designed for 5,000 lb anchor points. In addition, the tensile force limits of a sheep spine were tested and compared to the force needed to …

Towards a Human-like Robot for Medical Simulation
Medical mannequins provide the first hands-on training for nurses and doctors and help eliminate human mistakes that would otherwise take place with a real person. The closer the mannequin is to mimicking a human being, the more effective the training; thus, additional features such as movable …
