In March of this year, in New York, United States, two babies came into the world in a way never seen before, since they are the first people conceived thanks to the assisted fertilization performed with sperm injection robots.
According to a publication in the Technology Review magazine of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), scientists say that this technology of assisted fertilization carried out with robots could reduce the costs of treatments and help more people have access to them.
Never seen before!
Engineers in Barcelona developed a robot for the assisted fertilization injection machine, which was then shipped to New York, USA, for use at the New Hope Fertility Center clinic, where an engineer with no experience in fertility medicine used a Sony PlayStation 5 controller to place a robotic needle.
“Observing a human egg through a camera, it advanced on its own, entered the egg and dropped a single sperm.. In total, the robot was used to fertilize more than a dozen eggs,” commented the publication, made by specialized journalist Antonio Regalado.
“The robot was used to fertilize more than a dozen eggs.”
The result of the assisted fertilization for a robot it was amazing. They were healthy embryos and now two girls were bornwho are the first people born after a fertilization treatment done by a robot, according to the researchers.

The company that developed the robot, Overture Life, founded by Argentine Martin Varsavsky, says their device is an initial step toward automating in vitro fertilization, and could make the procedure less expensive and much more common than it is today. Apparently, the idea has been liked enough to manage to raise 37 million dollars from investors to develop this project.
