Company founder Zhang Qifeng He emphasized that we are not talking about a simple incubator, but about a full-sized robot with an artificial womb, which can go through the entire cycle – from conception to birth.

The technology has already passed laboratory tests, the next step will be integration into the humanoid platform.

– the key feature of the project is Artificial uteruswhere the fetus develops in the amniotic fluid and receives nutrition through a special system.

As an example, CIFEN recalled an experiment in 2017 in Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where in an artificial environment it was possible to grow a premature lamb equivalent to the 23rd week of pregnancy in humans.

Details of the process of fertilization and implantation have not yet been disclosed.

As for the legal aspects, the developers are already consulting with the Guangdong Provincial authorities. Proposals were made within the framework of current legislative initiatives.

Recall that in April 2025, the first child was born, conceived with the help of ICSI robotic system (introduction of sperm into an egg under digital control).
