Pedia_Roid

DESCRIPTION

Pedia_Roid is an Educational-Robots from tmsuk. It is built for Medical-Assistance, Education. Key figures: 23 kg, 24 degrees of freedom.

Pedia_Roid is tmsuk's pediatric patient simulator robot, a full-body humanoid of a five- to six-year-old child that lets dental and medical students practise treating children. Developed because students get few chances to train on child patients, it realistically reproduces a child who is reluctant to be treated - writhing, flapping its arms and legs and shaking its head - as well as sudden changes in condition such as convulsions, pallor or flushing, pupil changes, wheezing and laboured breathing, so trainees practise both technique and patient handling, including holding down its limbs. Its silicone body is 110 cm tall, weighs 23 kg and has 24 degrees of freedom across the head, mouth, tongue, eyelids, eyes, pupils, arms, legs, pulse and chest, driven by compressed-air actuators so it is not damaged when held down. It talks and cries in Japanese, Chinese or English, has teeth models that can be cut and replaced individually, a pulse, heart and breath sounds for auscultation, chest compressions for CPR, and blood sampling and capillary refill tests from the back of the hand, with vital signs shown on a monitor; instructors run scenarios wirelessly from a PC or tablet. Announced in 2020 and shown at CES 2022, it is sold through J. Morita in Japan, Nissin Dental Products overseas and Samir in Saudi Arabia, and in 2026 went into use at the Medical University of Lublin in Poland, its first installation in Europe.
