Japanese researchers have developed a haptic device that attaches to a person's hand and can simulate the softness of different materials by producing realistic tactile sensations on individual fingertips. According to the researchers, the device could serve as a training tool, helping medical students become skilled in exams that involve feeling parts of the body with the hands. One particular application, they say, would be teaching students how to palpate breasts when looking for lumps.

Obviously, that's the only possible use for such a tool. :spock:

Dennis Miller called it back in 1995 (near the 5 min mark)

Probably NSFW video due to language.

Anyone who's seen Japanese porn knows it's only a matter of time before this robot makes its screen debut.
 
Put a USB port on it and I bet internet porn companies will fund the hell out of the "research". As well as buy the patent for a crapload of money. :cool:
