A sweating robot helps Swiss scientists develop sub-zero athletic clothing. Scientists at the University of Zurich are optimistic their sweating robot will help to develop high-tech fibers capable of sustaining a sweating athlete in freezing conditions. It took five years to develop "Sam" the robot, which has 125 sweat nozzles on his plastic head and body. The fibers are designed to change how much air and moisture can permeate clothing and adjust as the body's temperature rises and falls. (SOUNDBITE) (English) RENE ROSSI, PROFESSOR AT THE MATERIALS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE
