According to a report by MIT Technology Review, one of the engineers involved in developing the world's first insemination robot had limited experience in the field of fertility medicine. However, they were able to utilise a Sony PlayStation 5 controller to help with the development process
With robots taking over many aspects of our lives over the years, the newest development has been one where a sperm-injecting robot, developed by Spanish startup, Overture Life, and can be controlled using a PlayStation controller, has successfully fertilised human eggs, giving birth to two healthy babies.
According to a report by MIT Technology Review, one of the engineers involved in developing the world's first insemination robot had limited experience in the field of fertility medicine. However, they were able to utilise a Sony PlayStation 5 controller to help with the development process.
A student engineer from a startup successfully steered a small, mechanised needle during in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedures, using a specialised controller.
Through this technique, individual sperm cells were carefully deposited into human eggs over a dozen times.
According to the researchers, the procedures resulted in healthy embryos, which led to the birth of two baby girls. The researchers claim that these babies are the first known individuals to be born after fertilisation with the aid of automated technology, the report said.
