This is pretty wild as the robot responds to touch and hold conversations, so I wonder just how unruly the robot could be programmed t
o react, of course all if this in the name of training. This could be a new level of training here to perhaps have a robot slap you or step on your toes, but we want reality training and a few real patients have been known to do the same or worse, so now training can accomplished in a manner to prepare for the worst, maybe.

Gifu University's Graduate School of Medicine, long fed up with subjecting the general public to the horrors of teaching hospitals (you've seen Scrubs, right?) has teamed up with the Mizuno Technical Institute in Japan to develop Keiko -- an interactive humanoid robot that mimics a number of neurological disorders, responding to the doctor's touch and even holding rudimentary conversations. The robot gives students the opportunity to observe and diagnose rare brain and nervous system illnesses in a classroom setting, where no one can get hurt.
