THOR-RS

The THOR-RS consist of a kit of parts which can be installed on the THOR-50M dummy for reclined seating. Overall mass and stature are unchanged, but the kit allows for larger angle between torso and femurs for usage in new seating postures relevant for autonomous vehicles and luxurious seats.

The kit consists of a pelvis and femur flesh which rotate freely, a new unified abdomen which stretches under reclining, and a lower thoracic flex joint which is more biofidelic under static seating and dynamic loading.
