Humanoid Robotics

Simroid is a dental patient robot developed as a training tool for aspiring dentists. She can follow spoken instructions, closely monitor a dentist's performance during mock treatments, and react in a human-like way to pain. She was built by Kokoro Company Ltd.

I'm not sure whether to say "Wow!" or "Ewww!"

I wonder if she has saliva? (And notice that I automatically wrote 'she' instead of 'it'.)

"She can follow spoken instructions, closely monitor a dentist's performance during mock treatments, and react in a human-like way to pain."

Can she also sue for sexual harassment?
