Simroid Feels Dental Pain
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science, Videos,
We cringe when thinking about dentists, but now they will get their just desserts with Simroid, a 5 foot, 3-inch bot developed at Nippon Medical School which will teach them how to better communicate with their patients.
