![Need Help Sticking to Your New Year Fitness Goals? Ford’s ‘Robutt’ Tester Ensures Seats Don’t Suffer After Sweaty Workouts](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/featured_images/32506_Fords-Robutt-Tester.jpg?itok=uLTO2kbN)
- Robotic bottom simulates hot drivers repeatedly getting in and out of their cars to ensure the seats in new Ford vehicles continue to look good for years ahead
- Nicknamed “Robutt”, the simulator mimics the action of someone heading home for a shower after going to the gym, driving back from a run or playing football
- Testing condenses a full 10 years’ use as “Robutt” sits, bounces and twists in a seat 7,500 times over the course of three days
