Gifu University’s Graduate School of Medicine in central Japan now has a new “sick” robot, geared towards medical students.
Keiko, which means ”practice” in Japanese, can answer questions like “How are you doing?”, by saying things like “I get tired easily lately”. The bot will be a great help for medical students practicing conversations with patients.
Keiko can also be used for examinations by touch, before doing the same with human beings, so students are better prepared to touch real patients. Keiko is specifically designed for training neurological disorders so that medical students can learn the ways brain and nervous system illnesses can be identified.
Kim has a face that only a nerd could love. Just press her nose and her eyes light up red as she states the current time with her robot voice. With her gold metallic curls and green speaker mouth, she won’t give you the attention of a real woman, but what do you care since you’ve been in the house for 2 months straight playing WoW. She’ll do.
If you’re a Timelord, a talking Dalek will wake you up. Because when a Dalek talks, people die. Somehow they’ve survived the time-war and are in alarm clock form now. It’s officially licenced by the BBC and shouts things like “Exterminate”, “You would make a good Dalek” or “You are an enemy of the Daleks, you must be destroyed” to wake you up in the morning all bright and cheery. Other features are flashing white ears, a flashing blue eye stalk, and blue LED lights on the bottom. Turn off the alarm by pushing it’s head. It will cost you about $29.
