This ‘Power Driven Articulated Dummy’ was built for NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center by the Illinois Institute of Technology. It was able to simulate 35 basic human motions and used sensors to gather data on how the human body acted in a pressurized suit but the project was terminated because it leaked oil.
It was one of two that were made. One sold for $80,000 at auction in 2016. The other is at the Smithsonian.
