A.N.I. - Android Nursing Interface, a beautiful, blue-eyed, by-the-book 23rd century female robotic medical aid (a "Simbot") on the science fiction series MERCY POINT/NBC/1998-99. A.N.I. (played by Julia Pennington) can work around the clock. Her mechanical efficiency often caused resentment with the other non-robotic nurse aids and Mednauts (otherwise known as EMTs) at Mercy Point especially when she got promoted to Head Nurse. A.N.I. can tolerated 200 to 800 degrees Celsius, has difficulty recognizing human sarcasm, but when necessary she can cry real tears or show the signs of embarrassment. NOTE: A "Simbot" is a robot that simulates human functions.
