A robot that can feel and respond to pain? Is that really a good idea?

But in case anyone thinks the robot is too real, it also has a sensor on the breast area that keeps track if it has been touched inappropriately, an engineer said.

However, the anus is unremarkable.

DRTFA but: Why don't they just practice on poor people who cannot afford dental care and make them sign waivers and whatnot. I'd do it just for the Nitrous oxide.

A better question would be: Can you fark it?

I guess with the boobie sensor, apparently not.

So nothing to see here, people. Move along.

Can the dummy get up, knock the dentist across the room and hold him up by his neck for inept needle placement?

\knows a guy who claims to have done this
\\6'7", 300 pounds, and needle-phobic
\\\you better stick him right on the first try

Unless you can fill the patients mouth with instruments and fingers, and then ask them questions, then it's useless.
