Who decided to have the plug in ports at the eyes.

TIL that "mannequin" and "manikin" are not just two different spellings of the same word, but do, in fact, differentiate between an unposable statue that displays clothing and a model that attempts to be anatomically accurate and/or posable.

English is weird as fuck.

One eye is positive. One eye is negative. The third eye, the most mysterious, is GND.

Probably whoever covered every part of the body except for the eyes for warmth. Makes the data gathering easy without affecting results.

I'm a compliance engineer, and I honestly love when ISO standards are goofy like this. The last one I contributed to required me to build a custom testing robot. Hopefully the voting committee doesn't notice the scotch tape and cardboard. Holding it together.

It’s just so cool to be able to take something and think, β€œHow can I test this in a way that many manufacturers can run it and the test results will still be comparable in 10 years?”

I mean the real answer is that's where the sleeping bag is open so you can plug the robot in
