Phoenix, Arizona, USA, has even recorded high temperatures over 43 degrees Celsius for 22 straight days when the rest of the globe is suffering from a heat wave. In order to better comprehend the potentially fatal consequences associated with prolonged exposure to heat, US researchers have developed a sweating robot.

A humanoid robot called "Advanced Newton Dynamic Instrument, ANDI" was created by American scientists. It is composed of epoxy resin and carbon fiber, and an integrated sensor allows it to detect the body's heat output and internal cooling. The robot can breathe and perspire thanks to the mechanism and holes in its body. The robot, in instance, has 35 distinct sensor regions that may mimic a human's sweating more on the back.

Additionally, this robot can mimic how various groups of people regulate their body temperature depending on their ages and physical conditions. This is the first human body model in the world that can be detected outside and can employ highly useful technology, according to a professor at the University of Arizona in the United States. In particular, under global warming, when there is a growing risk of thermoregulatory failure to overheat the body, experimental approaches are employed to quantify the impact of severe climatic conditions on the human body.
