This robotic head-form was designed and made for the Ministry of Defense for respirator evaluation. The head took seven months to develop and can be attached to a breathing machine. The head is moved by thirteen servos controlled by a computer and can be programmed to perform a vast range natural human head movements. There is also a dialogue sequence that the head will mime to and these movements test whether the locus of a respirator is compromised through these general head movements.
