In order to design the robot named Porton , engineers have used lightweight, modern materials developed for Formula One racing cars.

The Porton robot can go, march, run, sit, kneel. On the "body," this robot has more than 100 sensors that can record information in tests that scientists can analyze in real time.
Scientists use Porton robots to study the effects of neurotoxic gases such as sarin and chemical, biological and radioactive agents on uniforms being used in British armed forces.
The robot is the latest generation developed at the Department of Defense's Department of Defense Technology, Science and Defense (DSTL).
The researchers said the Porton robot is far more advanced than its predecessors, weighing just over 14kg compared to previous models weighing up to 80kg.
Jaime Cummins, of DSTL, said the lab hopes the robot will help to produce more lightweight military uniforms in the future.
