Posable training aid

A modular training aid for use in a training exercise, comprising:

• a simulated torso module comprising a polymer body, a rigid shoulder bar disposed within the body and extending from a first end to an opposing second end, a first posable simulated arm extending outwardly from a first shoulder bend relief at the first end of the rigid shoulder bar, and a second posable simulated arm extending outwardly from a second shoulder bend relief at the second end of the rigid shoulder bar, and an attachment socket extending downwardly of the shoulder bar;
• and
• a releasable simulated leg module comprising a rigid pelvis bar extending from a first end to an opposing second end, a first posable simulated leg extending from a first pelvis bend relief at the first end of the rigid pelvis bar, and a second posable simulated leg extending from a second pelvis bend relief at the second end of the rigid pelvis bar, and a mounting post extending upwardly from the rigid pelvis bar, the mounting post being adapted to be received within the attachment socket of the simulated torso module and to inhibit axial rotation of the releasable simulated leg module about the mounting post when the mounting post is received within the attachment socket;
• the posable simulated arms and legs each including a core comprising a bendable material that exhibits minimal physical memory at a simulated joint location of the associated posable simulated arm or leg, and a shield disposed about the core to limit movement of the posable simulated arm or leg along a length of the posable simulated arm or simulated leg adjacent the simulated joint location;
• and wherein the posable simulated arms and legs are each configured to be independently posable for engagement by a user during the training exercise.

A modular training aid for use in a training exercise comprising:

• a modular simulated figure mounted to a robotic base,
• the robotic base comprising:
• a frame supporting first and second wheels that are configured to rest on a support surface when the modular training aid is in an upright orientation,
• first and second motors, each of which imparts a rotational drive force to a respective one of the wheels to drive the robotic base;
• a controller in electrical communication with the motors for controlling direction and rotational speed thereof;
• a wireless receiver in electrical communication with the controller for receiving a drive signal from a user input device;
• the modular simulated figure extending from the frame, the modular simulated figure comprising:
• a simulated leg module having a first end engaging the frame of the robotic base and a mounting post extending upwardly from an opposing second end of the simulated leg module;
• a releasable simulated torso module adapted to engage the simulated leg module and comprising a foam body, a rigid shoulder bar disposed within the foam body and extending from a first end to an opposing second end, a first posable simulated arm extending outwardly from a first shoulder bend relief at the first end of the rigid shoulder bar, and a second posable simulated arm extending outwardly from a second shoulder bend relief at the second end of the rigid shoulder bar, a first attachment socket oriented downwardly at a bottom edge of the foam body and configured to receive the mounting post of the simulated leg module therein, and a second attachment socket oriented upwardly at an opposing top edge of the foam body;
• and
• a releasable simulated head module having a mounting post that is adapted to be received within the second attachment socket of the simulated torso module and to inhibit axial rotation of the simulated releasable head module about the mounting post when the mounting post is received within the first attachment socket,
• wherein the first and second posable simulated arms each have a core comprising a bendable material and are each configured to be bendable by user manipulation so as to be independently posable for engagement by a user during the training exercise.
