Android Robots to Raise Human Children

In China, a humanoid "pregnant" robot with an artificial womb is being developed, capable of carrying a child from conception to birth, replacing a woman. This is not just an incubator, but a system embedded in a humanoid body: Inside the abdomen, a robotic abdominal module is installed, maintaining shape, temperature, and pressure as in a woman's body; The capsule is filled with artificial amniotic fluid, rich in nutrients, gases, and hormone analogues; Fetal nutrition will be supplied through a tube connected to the "umbilical cord"; Sensors monitor 24/7 growth, heartbeat, fetal movements, hormone levels, and biochemical indicators. When the fetus reaches full term, the system shifts to "birth" mode: contractions of the abdominal module and "expulsion" of the newborn from the capsule. Developers plan to release the first commercial version within a year.
