A technology company in southern China is developing a humanoid robot equipped with an artificial womb, designed to carry and give birth to human children. The project, announced by Kaiwa Technology and expected to debut by 2026, marks a significant step in artificial gestation. As China develops a pregnancy robot capable of full-term human reproduction, experts are closely watching the ethical and scientific implications.
Guangzhou-based Kaiwa Technology revealed that the robot will be capable of carrying a fetus through a ten-month gestation cycle and assisting in childbirth.
The company says it plans to sell the product for under 100,000 yuan, roughly $13,900, aiming to offer a non-traditional alternative for individuals unable or unwilling to undergo pregnancy.
Technology mimics the full reproductive cycle
Company founder Zhang Qifeng, who is also affiliated with Nanyang Technological University, introduced the concept at the 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing. According to Zhang, the robot is not a standard incubator but a life-sized humanoid built to mimic the entire reproductive process from fertilization to delivery.
The core technology is the artificial womb, where the fetus develops in synthetic amniotic fluid and receives nutrients through an external system replicating the natural umbilical connection.
Grecian Delight supports Greece Zhang said the artificial womb has already proven effective in laboratory conditions. The next challenge, he explained, is embedding it into a functioning humanoid to create an interactive, controlled gestation environment. A working prototype is expected within a year.
Public reaction and ethical debate emerge The project has drawn mixed reactions. Public debate has erupted online, with responses ranging from cautious optimism to concerns over the legal and moral implications of synthetic childbirth.
Zhang acknowledged these concerns and confirmed that discussions are already underway with regulatory authorities in Guangdong Province. Policy proposals related to the technology have been submitted for review.
Artificial womb research is not new. In 2017, scientists at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia successfully sustained a premature lamb inside a sterile, transparent sac filled with artificial amniotic fluid.
The lamb, equivalent to a 23-week-old human fetus, developed normally over four weeks, even growing wool. However, experts note that current artificial wombs function more like neonatal incubators, supporting only partially developed fetuses.
For full human gestation, breakthroughs in fertilization, implantation, and long-term support are still needed—gaps Zhang has yet to address fully.
AI breeding robot targets agriculture
In a separate advancement, Chinese researchers also presented GEAIR, the world’s first AI-powered breeding robot, at the same conference. Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, the machine is designed to breed plants autonomously
Using gene editing, the team created male-sterile flowers, enabling GEAIR to generate hybrid seeds with greater efficiency. Integrated with modern methods like speed breeding and de novo domestication, the system forms a fully automated breeding facility.
GEAIR has already been used to develop a male-sterile soybean line, with researchers claiming it could significantly increase China’s crop yields. Project leader Xu said the system creates a closed-loop model for AI-driven agriculture by mixing biotechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

Agree.
Many sci fi anime and movies have this in them.
Communists want abolition of the family. This is their fever dream.
It’s this craziness that makes me glad I’m an octogenarian where we still believe in celebrating and honoring God’s Word the old fashioned way.
Agreed. I see it as an option for women young enough to produce eggs, but perhaps too old to carry a baby. Also, a few women producing an egg each month could “donate” (read: have confiscated by the Chicom govt) to the fertility robots to have multiple eggs grow simultaneously.
I’m betting this would be incredibly popular if it ever was technologically developed successfully. And a new profession of substitute mothers could be hired to talk to the babies, sing to them and tell them bedtime stories in the “womb.” Or, if the womb was available for individual nurseries, you’d just hire a nanny 9 months early.
How many babies born on drugs could be saved?
The babies are still the most important thing. If they could be brought into the world healthy, there are so many people who would like to love them.
Most of the “events” were just facsimiles of some type of dance routine, which is a simple task for even toy robots, and not the least bit “cutting edge.” But there were plenty of CCP stooges jumping and cheering around them, trying to amp up the crowd for the non-existent “action.”
To make it even worse, some of the robots just suddenly stopped working and crumpled to the ground, only to be hurriedly carried off by humans. The corrupt media will undoubtedly portray this as a great triumph for the “superior” Chinese culture, but it was in reality a humiliating joke.
Good question.
I can answer that: More sociopathic mass murderers and more “puzzled” public officials blaming the aftermath on guns.
It will be an abomination.
China lies.
China cheats.
China steals.
NEVER believe their BS claims.
You are 100% correct.
China is a lying psychopathic nation.
Despite 3,000 years of existence, those jackasses STILL have not got their crap together.
Why do people believe this crap.
That’s exactly what I thought, this is straight out of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the only thing missing is Soma
Ahhh, interface for uploading free annual digital birthday eggroll and propaganda cookie!
And my cat is an alien.

So you admit it, do you? We always knew there was something odd about your cat.
Just goes to show everyone what billions and billions spent on propaganda can achieve.
Correct. Why on Earth would anyone ever pursue such ‘technology’?
Maybe. But it sure beats abortion, from the baby’s perspective at least.
