December 6, 2007: Robot patient
The Japanese have come up with this one, a dental patient who is... a robot. With the use of this automatron, dental students can see what it's like to drill teeth on a real-life patient before they ever drill on a real-life patient. The robot is programmed to react accurately when the drill touches a nerve.

I'd drill that.

They should make a fat, ugly robot with bad teeth and bad breath. That would give the dental students a feel for what they're getting into.

all the oral sex/real doll jokes are getting jammed up in my head......

A robotic Fat Bastard, maybe?

What did they do, buy one of them "Real Doll" thingies and hook it up with electronics? Boys DO play with dolls! Creepy...

Then I panicked and posted something quickly, just so I'd be the first one to reply.

...or should we wi-fi the signal to the dentist's oral nerves instead

I saw this story on a Japanese site a month or so ago, but without the picture, so I decided not to post it here.
IIRC the funniest bit is that "her" breasts are equipped with sensors and she reacts (negatively) to inappropriate touching. Who says engineers don't have a sense of humor?

...guess that's another thing the dentist needs to get used to.
I don't like this post...it's reminding me that I'm getting a root canal soon

It makes sense. If you go to someone to fill your cavities, you want to be sure they know how to use their tools.
