No one likes going to the dentist, so imagine the discomfort of being a patient for a dentist-in-training. So, in order to avoid pain, damage, and deep dental trauma, a professor in Tokyo has developed an interesting solution. A sensor-laden, blinking and gurgling robot named Simroid acts as feedback, documenting and alerting the trainee when he or she has dug too deep or accidentally touched the robot inappropriately. The entire session will be record to be later reviewed by professors or students and they can give feed backs later. Just like a real patient, the robot blinks, grunts, and shows responses to discomfort and fear. It is really wonderful that how digital era changed every thing, just think for a second that without all of this technology one of us would have to sit on that dentist’s chair and become a laboratory mouse. It is so amazing that robot have sensor, which allow him or her to shows reaction like a real person that is in dentistry.
