Video Friday: Robot Gives Birth

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 27 of February , 2009 at 12:42 am

That’s right: now they’re reproducing. Run for the hills!

Noelle is a robotic birth simulator with all the bells and whistles, including breathing and a pulse. Her anatomy is functionally correct and she can simulate all kinds of delivery situations in order to help train people. Just a mild warning; the video could be considered NSFW in a weird medical sort of way as it includes simulated robotic lady parts.

If you’re lonely, you can get your own Noelle (complete with a newborn babybot named HAL) for just shy of $38,000… Military-grade carrying cases are optional for another $2k.

Nice video. My sister told me that her nursing school had tons of robots which simulated real patients. Where you had to find what was wrong, etc.
