She’s not a sex doll, she’s a dental patient!
The most patient patient any dentist could wish for, Hanako 2 is a robot designed to let dental students practice procedures in the ‘uncanny valley’ of simulated humanity. Hanako 2 is an upgrade on last year’s model; her creator Tmsuk Co. of Showa University, Japan, collaborated with a sex doll manufacturer to give her silicone skin and have her tongue and cheek linings fashioned in a single piece for greater realism.
She now has a motorised head with a realistic range of movements, and she executes a range of natural-looking behaviours such as blinking, moving her eyeballs, and opening and closing her mouth. More ‘spontaneous’ behaviours such as sneezing, coughing and even choking can also be activated to give a more lifelike (not to mention more harrowing) training experience!
Hanako 2’s speech recognition and synthesis software lets her hear, understand and respond to her dental practitioner. Watch the video below to see her in action. And if you have dreams of dentistry, it looks like Japan might be the place to train!
