Mikoto is the meaning of "life", it is a very realistic simulation of medical robot, designed to help the young doctor training, Mikoto 3D printing robot not only the appearance of true to life, but also equipped with a special sensor, through the "ha ha" form to the young doctors to provide real-time feedback.

At first glance, it is easy to mistake Mikoto for a real child because all its functions are very lifelike. Its interior, even anatomically, is accurate because its tongue, esophagus, and duct are based on the actual organs of the patient. In making an analog robot, the Tmsuk team converts the digital image of the patient's organ into a 3D print model.
Although simulation models are still relatively limited in medical training, they are also becoming more and more popular because they provide training and practical experience. Tottori Medical College neurologist Toshiya Nakano says: "the young doctor in the past through the observation of senior doctors gradually work to learn the ropes, and then the actual surgery patients. This method of training has ceased to exist because it is essential that we ensure the safety of the patient."
The Mikoto robot marks a major improvement in medical simulation equipment. Mikoto, however, was not designed for all types of simulations, but was built for three main operations: endotracheal intubation, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and sputum aspiration.
As mentioned earlier, the Mikoto is equipped with a variety of sensors, if they exert too much pressure on the robot, or if they choke. Mikoto can alert them, and at the end of the simulation, the Mikoto3D print robot will score the training based on the data obtained by the sensor and the length of the program.
