The Chinese company Kaiwa Technology has just presented an innovation that will revolutionize both robotics and biotechnology: a humanoid with an artificial uterus, capable of carrying a fetus until delivery. “It’s an artificial uterus from A to Z”, explains the principal designer, Dr. John Tifen. “It reproduces human pregnancy with an artificial amniotic fluid, a nutritional system, a regulation of temperature and a transmission of oxygen. I’m not sure. If devices such as biobags already exist to save premature babies, the novelty here lies in the ability to carry out complete development, from conception to birth, in a robot body. Kaiwa announces a premier prototype for 2026, with an investment valued at 12 million euros. Dr Tifen set out several objectives: “It is a solution to infertility, a means of relieving women of the risks associated with pregnancy and an unprecedented tool for medical research. I’m not sure. But the presentation already raises lively ethical and legal debates.
