Abstract

An artificially intelligent temperature-regulating wetsuit may include a wetsuit body comprising a torso portion, a left arm, a right arm, a left leg, and a right leg. A plurality of heating pouches may be disposed on the wetsuit body. The heating pouches may be configured to heat the wetsuit body. A controller may include a processor configured to run an artificially intelligent application which, when executed, causes the controller to predict a change in temperature of at least a portion of an inner environment of the wetsuit body. The controller may activate at least one of the plurality of heating pouches to heat one or more of the torso portion, the left arm, the right arm, the left leg and the right leg of the wetsuit body based on the predicted change in temperature.
