Granted it looks like us, but it looks dead.
Would you not find some dead asian woman with her mouth gawping open in a dentist's surgery as a student 'operates' on it creepy?]]>Nov 28th 2007 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/

Wait, what?



You do realize that the first male Japanese teenager to operate on one of those is gonna find out exactly where to drill in order to turn off the "breast" sensor.]]>Nov 28th 2007 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/Nov 28th 2007 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/
We already have training heads to learn on and for the most part they're realistic enough to teach you enough so that you can treat real patient's. However, every patient is different, they all have different pain thresholds etc and the only way to really learn is through experience.

This is just an unnecessary over-complication of what is already out there doing a good job already.]]>Nov 28th 2007 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/

Dear Dentist,
My apologies for all the complaining during those lengthy oral excavations. As a sign of gratitude I send you this humanoid in peace to give you an unbiased opinion of your drilling skills and enamel eradication.
Merry Christmas,
Generic.

P.S. use it before christmas and video your performance or else the ghost of christmas past will visit you before new year.]]>Nov 29th 2007 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/Nov 29th 2007 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/simroid-robot-lets-dental-students-know-what-hurts/Nov 29th 2007 12:11PM
