The Porton Man has been made for use in the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory
A robotic mannequin that can run, sit and even mimic the movement of a soldier has been unveiled by the Ministry of Defence.
The £1.1m robot - developed using Formula 1 technology - will test protective suits and equipment.
The "Porton Man" has more than 100 sensors over its body to record data during tests.
Developers said it will help them create the next generation of protective equipment.
It has been made for the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory - where clothing systems for solider are tested against chemical warfare agents.
The robot can raise its arms to imitate signals given by soldiers and can also march and kneel.
