Sony keeps saying that “gaming has no limits,” and one researcher proved the company right. A robot controlled by a Playstation 5 Dual sense The controller was able to inject human sperm into human eggs and the newly born babies were born. It’s all part of an effort to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) easier and more affordable.
the MIT Technology Review reports The trial was conducted at New Hope Fertility Center in New York, New York. The researchers were using a sperm robot made by a startup called Overture Life to fertilize some eggs. Apparently, they decided to sync it with a PS5 DualSense which then allowed someone with “no real experience” to look through a microscopic camera, move the robotic needle, and successfully deposit individual sperm into multiple eggs. Two baby girls were reportedly born from the process, which the presenter claims is the first fertilization via a sperm robot.
“I was calm,” said Edward Alba, the mechanical engineering student who led the DualSense. MIT Technology Review. At that very moment, I thought, ‘It’s just one more experience. “
DualSense-controlled sperm bots are one of a series of experimental procedures currently being explored in order to try to make IVF more accessible to prospective parents. Conventional treatments can They cost tens of thousands per attempt It requires a lot of different steps and equipment. Introduction said MIT Technology Review He envisions a future where the entire process could take place inside a robotic box “where the sperm and eggs go in, and the embryo comes out five days later.”
Other specialists are less optimistic, pointing to the precision and care required for IVF and the risky results if all is not quite right. “You take a sperm, put it into an egg with as little trauma as possible, and as delicately as possible,” said Zev Williams, MD, director of the Columbia University Fertility Clinic. MIT Technology Review. Right now, “Humans are much better than machines.” “
He looks like someone who has never felt the impressive feel of the impressive feel and unparalleled touch capabilities of Sony’s latest video game controller. PS5 gamers have been fooled by Sony’s beloved bots Through countless puzzles and twisted platforming levels. How difficult is it to create life?
Fortunately for the IVF parents who signed up at New Hope Fertility Center, the DualSense controller the engineering student used didn’t appear to have any thumb stick skew.
