The Thermal Mannequin (TM) was a terrifying, body-sized robot that could measure how we humans felt in various situations. For example, you could put TM in a sleeping bag in a cold room, and then the TM would tell you when it started to freeze around the feet. Or you could place it by an open door, and then it would point out the draft.
