Compared with its predecessor Showa Hanako 1, this robot is designed to be more realistic, functional, and easier to use. Showa Hanako 2 will actually be sold by the dental supply company The Yoshida Dental Manufacturing. The main features of the new robot are a silicone skin and mouth lining by Orient Industry, a maker of love dolls.

Well now, that's a neato robot! A cool tool for dentists to practice their teeth fixing skills. Hmm, it would be really useful for training, so that they could get used to real human patients.
