The robot, Pedia_Roid, was developed by Japanese robotics startup Tmsuk.
Pedia_Roid mimics childlike behavior that a dentist may encounter during a visit such as fidgeting, clenching teeth and vomiting. The robot is able to perform 24 actions and is capable of face and voice recognition.
The robot is 3 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 50 pounds.
