Video: Super-Realistic Dental Training Humanoid Simroid

simroidSimroid, a super-realistic dental training robot developed in Japan, caused quite a splash in news outlets worldwide when it made its debut in 2007. The level of realism was pretty high back then, but it's even higher in the new version that was showcased in Tokyo a few days ago.The basic idea is that Simroid simulates a human patient during a dental check-up by moving and speaking as realistically as possible, including the simulation of gag reflexes or negative reactions when the doctor touches her "breasts" by accident. Two cameras are recording the treatment, which makes it possible to evaluate the performance of dental students after each training session.
