. He highlighted a few major PETMAN challenges and recommendations: Internal space in the 50th percentile body form is likely to be insufficient for all his combined systems, thermal management of the system will be necessary, simplification of joints compromises the realism of body contours, internal battery power and charging systems are large and cumbersome, the internal breathing and humidification system is limited by the size of the mannequin head cavity, and the internal fluid reservoir for sweating could be replaced with an external supply without affecting performance.

Oh summarized by saying that the performance requirements for PETMAN are too severe and comprehensive. Oh suggested that movement tests be conducted separately from static tests, pneumatic actuators be used for the dynamic test, head and finger and foot tests be performed separately, and power and air sources be external to the system.
