Want to become a dentist, but too scared to try experimenting with a living, breathing human being? Well, the folks over in Japan have come up with Hanako, a robotic dental patient which is supposed to behave just like a human patient. And when we say behave like a human, it means that this 157cm female robot can converse with you, discharge saliva (or is that grease?), sneeze, open and close her mouth etc. To make things even more realistic, the robot can verbally express pain, roll her eyes, and even simulate a vomiting reflex. Scary isn’t it? Video of the robot in action (or being worked on) after the jump.
