A new robot called Hal s5301 is "the most realistic humanoid robot in the world", the University of Trieste, the first testing it in Europe, has said. The robot, which is equipped with artificial intelligence and real physiological reactions, has been installed in the centre for medical simulation and advanced training of the hospital of Cattinara.

Produced by the Accurate-Gaumard Scientific company, it will be used to boost and fine-tune the training of doctors. Hal s5301 is run by a control room: it talks, sweats, and moves its eyes and arms and is structured to enable the practice of the main applied medical technical techniques in emergency care, intensive care and surgery.
