US EditionChinese Firm Plans World's First Humanoid Pregnancy Robot
Kaiwa Technology's pregnancy-simulating robot aims to address China's infertility rise from 11.9% in 2007 to 18% in 2020, offering a $14,000 alternative to biological pregnancy.
- At the 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing, Kaiwa Technology presented a humanoid robot with an artificial womb designed to carry a fetus for ten months, targeting a prototype within a year and market debut in 2026 under 100,000 yuan.
- Zhang Qifeng said his project aims to combat demographic decline by addressing China's infertility rise from 11.9% in 2007 to 18% in 2020, and he has submitted proposals to Guangdong Province authorities.
- Zhang described the system as "It is not merely an incubator but a life-sized humanoid equipped with an artificial womb in its abdomen," using artificial amniotic fluid and citing animal testing results, though experts note current wombs support only partial gestation.
- Online reaction split sharply after the interview and expo reveal as Chinese social media users sparked a viral hashtag with over 22,000 reactions; supporters hail infertility help, while Christian leaders warn of commodifying life.
- With surrogacy outlawed in China, the robot raises legal questions as Guangdong Province authorities review Kaiwa's proposals amid the Chinese legal framework on surrogacy and Beijing's AI-biotech agenda.
