Faced with a growing number of medical students and few training hospitals, a Mexican university is turning to robotic patients to better train future doctors. Mexico City's UNAM University opened the world's largest “robotic hospital”. The robots are dummies complete with mechanical organs, synthetic blood and mechanical breathing systems. Here medical students practice on everything from delivering a baby from a robotic dummy to injecting the arm of a plastic toddler. The $1.3 million facility has 24 robotic patients and a computer software program that can simulate illnesses ranging from diabetes to a heart attack.

面对医科学生越来越多、实习医院相对紧张的问题，墨西哥一所大学借助机器人患者来为这些未来的医生提供更好的培训。墨西哥国立自治大学开设了世界上最大的“机器人实习医院”。这里的机器人都是装有机械器官、人造血液和机械呼吸系统的假人。医科学生可以在这里进行各种实习，从为机器人接生婴儿到为塑胶娃娃的胳膊练习肌注等。该医院耗资130万美元，拥有24位机器人患者，同时还拥有一套计算机软件程序，可以模拟糖尿病、心脏病等各种病症。
