Robin the Robot: An innovation transforming dental practices
We are excited to share coverage of Robin’s journey in pediatric dentistry by Fox 11 Los Angeles. Watch to learn more on how Robin helps pediatric patients and dentists by creating joyful and less stressful environment in the clinics.
Designed for children by scientists, engineers, and pediatric psychologists, Robin is the first of its kind robot used in pediatric dental practices. Robin utilizes peer-to-peer interactions and engages children in various active distraction techniques and physical activities. Robin teaches children coping mechanisms to help reduce their stress and anxiety related to dental procedures. Robin also uses child-friendly terms and visuals to explain dental procedures and prepares children for the actual treatment. All of Robin’s doings have proven to increase the children’s collaboration with the staff, thus ultimately saving them valuable time.
Robin's charming character creates a welcoming atmosphere in every dental practice resulting in a successful patient visit and increasing the likelihood of the patient returning. With the addition of Robin the Robot, dental clinics experience improved customer satisfaction, improved social media presence, an increased number of new customers, and higher retention rates. Our clients see the ROI within the first few months. Robin brings new opportunities to provide exceptional customer service, patient care, and brand differentiation.

Robin for Dental Clinics
Telepresence Mode
Robin can be controlled by a member of the medical personnel. Any assigned staff member can communicate with children by using the robot’s interface. While in use, Robin collects and analyzes data on the patient’s mood and emotional state.
Human-guided Mode
This mode allows you to gain two benefits at once. Robin will be guided by our team’s U.S. based certified child specialists, who will use their expertise to provide excellent interactive experience. So, your patients get a friendly robot companion and you get a professional child specialist interacting with them.
