Simroid - The Scariest Dental Tool Yet

This is the freakiest crap I've seen all day - hell, maybe all week. It seems like she can't close her mouth all the way (which is a good thing for the people working on her fake teeth) and she goes a little cross-eyed at times - the porn industry will have a heyday with this thing.

Via Pink Tentacle:
"Simroid, a robotic dental patient with an eerily realistic appearance, has been spotted at the 2007 International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo. Designed primarily as a training tool for dentists, the fembot patient can follow spoken instructions, closely monitor a dentist’s performance during mock treatments, and react in a human-like way to mouth pain. Because Simroid’s realistic appearance and behavior motivate people to treat her like a human being, as opposed to an object, she helps dental trainees learn how to better communicate with patients."
