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
I'm sickened by how many "flawed trials" are going to result out of such a thing before it "succeeds."
Even as a goal, this is so wrong on every level. The stuff of nightmares.
Both those links are about the same (fake) robot by Kaiwa Technology.
Well damn, I've been seeing variations of this concept for decades, but nobody ever claimed it was "developed"
Generates more clicks I guess 😒
