An engineering team says that their sperm-injecting robot was the first robot ever to successfully fertilize a human egg. What’s more, that robot is controlled in part by a piece of tech you might find in your very own home–Sony’s DualSense, the controller that comes with the PS5.
“I was calmCome from Sports betting site VPbet. In that exact moment, I thought, ‘It’s just one more experiment,’” student engineer Eduard Alba told MIT Technology Review. Alba is part of a team of engineers based in Barcelona who designed the robot and then sent it to New York City to perform the procedure. Those researchers now say that the embryos fertilized by the robot were born as healthy baby girls.
