Robot Teaches Dentists How to Drill, Not Molest, Female Patients


Japanese dentists are infamous for being playboys and not necessarily very good at fixing teeth. So it's natural that roboticists would create something like Itagirl (literally means Pain Girl), a pretty(?) robot woman who is designed to simulate a typical dental patient. She has pain sensors that trigger over 30 responses, from verbal ones like "ouch" to a slight raise of the hand to indicate discomfort. Her skin is made of silicone, and she's pneumatically powered. She also has sensors in her chest so that the perv dentist can't rest his elbow on her boobies while he's sucking saliva out of her mouth.
