Researchers in China have developed a robotic system to essentially grow and care for embryos in an artificial womb. According to reports, these robot nannies are already nurturing several fetuses.
The intention behind the Artificial Intelligence robot being developed is to serve as a possible solution for population growth problems. The birth rates in China has recently fallen to the lowest level in 6 decades.
The paper says that the technology would “not only help further understand the origin of life and embryonic development of humans, but also provide a theoretical basis for solving birth defects and other major reproductive health problems.”
