It is just a concept right now. It has not yet delivered any live births.
“Despite optimism, experts state that the technology is still far from full implementation.” https://thaitimes.com/a-robot-to-give-birth-the-chinese-announcement-that-shakes-the-world
The same proposed robot went viral in 2025 but was entirely fake: https://www.livescience.com/health/fertility-pregnancy-birth/pregnancy-robot-from-china-is-fake-but-is-the-technology-behind-it-possible
Why yes women having to carry pregnancies for nine months and then having to go through the pains of giving birth is a good thing we should not relieve them of that burden even when technology allows that thank you for asking.
Bet the price will be absolutely prohibitive, letting only the rich use them.
Bet it will be used to shield the rich from the consequences of failing medical systems.
I’m not saying it’s a bad technology, I’m saying it’s being developed by the time, money, and effort, and for the benefit of parasites, assuming it’s not just marketing for a cash-grab startup.
Cool, now we can make orphans with technology!
Or, you know, not put mothers through the painful, dangerous, and potentially lethal ordeal known as pregnancy.
Okay, but this is Chinese technology, so it can only be used for evil
Ah yes, break the bonds that bind family and ultimately society together to “protect women”. It is only lethal in places with shitty medical car…okay I see where you are going with this.
break the bonds that bind family
Nine months in utero counts for more than your first 18 years of life?
I’ll need to break my adopted brother the terrible news
Sorry to break reality to you and him.
Also, we are talking about an artificial womb so you wouldn’t have a mother.
Do you not realize that an artificial womb still uses a fertilized human egg? Like, genetically, there’s still two human parents.
It’s not like someone is going to fuck a robot and get it pregnant.
Your mother gives birth to you. She doesn’t just donate genetic material. She carries you inside her for 9 months before pushing you out and holding you as you take your first breathe. This is the way it has been for millions of years.
What people are proposing is breaking that human cycle. Eliminating the investment of time body and soul into the next generation. Pretending this wouldn’t have significant impacts on our society is farcical. Population could literally be controlled by whoever has the money.
We would also likely end up in a Gattaca situation because who would want to spend the money on a defective baby. Crispr babies raised by the government or corporations doesn’t sound like a future I would look forward to.
So by your logic, fatherhood isn’t real. Only motherhood is real.
There is a lot that happens in utero. Sharing the mother’s immune system, learning the voice of the mother and people around them, not to mention the various hormonal changes that prepare the mother physically and psychologically to care for an infant.
Pregnancy can be dangerous but we really need to be careful whenever we introduce new medical technology.
Sure? But now you’re just arguing with the doctors at the NICU
Lovely how they went from having a one-child policy to having ∞-child capabilities in just a few decades.
“His mom is a Kranger!”
Honestly, I think that artificial wombs will be quite good for society.
Why the fuck does it have to have a robot body?
What’s the point? Just make an artificial womb and be done with it.
Just tacking on dog shit robotics just means it’s needlessly complex and has more fault areas.
More dumbass tech shit.
You’re right, so there’s a 99.9% chance it’s AI generated for clickbait
Nope 100%
The answer is: gen AI slop.
However, the obsession with bi-pedal robots is creepy and weird.
I watched someone on YouTube talking about it but can’t remember the channel.
Basically, there is no single task for which bipedal is the best format, it’s only suitable for the range of tasks humans can perform. However, we just don’t have the tech to make that format viable. As in, they can’t do the dishes or clean the bathroom or take out the trash.
Demonstrations of bots doing those things are in tightly controlled environments with loads of programmed parameters.
Its appealing because everyone wants a humanoid to order around, but that’s about it.
Oh it can give birth to live babies now! That’s definitely a step up!
Yeah, the dead baby machine was not as impressive.
