Why did we invent a robot that BARFS?!


Here, I’ll let the inventors explain:
“Vomiting Larry” is the Health and Safety Laboratory's humanoid simulated vomiting system. He was designed to identify why the winter vomiting bug (Norovirus) is so highly infectious and transmitted between people so readily.

Oh. So his name’s Larry and he’s actually a “humanoid simulated vomiting system”? In that case, I guess this is okay!

The action picks up at about 1:20.
