Not to mention bleed :D

this is fucking awesome - they ought to show it at high school that'll cure the teen pregnancy rate.

Because we totally haven't used videos for that same purpose for years now.

no video beats getting peed on by a vaguely humanoid robo-womon with a robo-vagina. it's mind fuckery on epic levels.

....My uterus aches at the very sight of this monster.

Only a matter of time before robot fetishes are combined with pregnancy fetishes... *shudder*

Also, someone is either incredibly smart or incredibly stupid for naming the baby Hal. There is no middle ground in this.

So that's what c-sections look like!

There's got to be a niche market for being peed on and yelled at by robots. Good money to be made.

Must mean the Robot Apocalypse will come before the Zombie Apocalypse. Prepare yourself.

Soon there will be a very special FFF where Plankton from Spongebob Squarepants ditches his computer wife Karen for his robot mistress Noelle, and then gets all crazy horny when she screams at him, and pees and bleeds on him from her robot vagina while Plankton vies for some booty during Hal's birth.

Not from me, of course. But from somebody.

I work at a medical university, and had to set up simulators like this all the time for students. None of the ones we had were able to give birth but it was still surreal setting up ten plastic asses for an enema class.

Can't really say this is news... Tulane University School of Medicine has a similar robot (and many others) in their new Simulation Center. The best part is the afterbirth. Nothin like watching a robot give birth to a healthy baby child... and then a pizza.

Noelle screams, cries, bleeds and pees, but doesn't poop during pushing? Totally unrealistic! :-)

O...kay? So she screams, bleeds, pisses herself and delivers robo-babies... cool! Does she cuss like a sailor? "Don't fucking touch me!"
All we need is fainting robo-dad...

Robots that pee on people? Alright, where is John Turturro? You just know he had some hand in this!

Really though, this is very frightening! Now robots can procreate?? We, the human race, are doomed.

Here's video of the robot:

starts at about 30sec mark

first they're taking our construction jobs and now they're having babies? KILL ALL ROBOTS!! KILL ALL ROBOTS!! KILL ALL ROBOTS!!

What... the... fuck.

I'm a med student myself, and frankly, I'd be too disturbed to learn on this. Give me the real thing.

I think...yes, I think that I shall vomit. Violently. I have a pregnant-women phobia, which is weird because I'm a woman, and this very nearly pushes me right over the edge. I can see it in my mind's eye, stumping along robotically (ha), with Baby HAL sticking halfway out and drooling. God, I'm scared.

Seriously, the only thing that bothers me is that it gives birth to a baby thing named HAL. Does anyone else sense some kind of foreboding with that name?

No matter.

We'll see soon enough whether this mama can bring about the robot apocalypse or not. Personally, I don't think I will consider a career in the medical field if it means I will have to eventually work with this... robot.

Ok, bleeding/peeing/suffocating-fetus-bearing robot aside, there is something in this story that as a girl disturbs me much more.
The physical injuries associated with childbirth were not unknown to me, but to read the phenomena that follows these injuries so casually referred to as "postpartum suturing" makes me want to close my knees for good.

I think this is somewhat akin if I were to just drop a term like "testicular charring" in the middle of a conversation and just keep going like nothing happened. Something sure as fuck did happen. You just can't gloss over something like that....

that thing is messed up it proving that robots are getting too human like to the point of almost bringing fear of robots replacing humanity though also not surprised since there is work being done on robot mates in japan. but still that thing is creepy and messed up.too realistic

I agree with you, Abraxas! Maybe the teen girls(and boys) will learn to keep their hormones under control instead of going through the process of bringing another human being into this world...THE NATURAL YET PAINFUL WAY.

@Gabbie18 - if I weren't already gay, seeing something like that happening in my face, yeah, I'd never go anywhere near a vagina. scary, scary place :P

So someone created robots to help medical students learn. What's the big deal?

I'm just waiting for a robot you can knock up and skip town on.

There's this new thing nowadays called "hyperbole" that all the kids are using for humor.

So his robo-mother died in childbirth due to the incometence of human doctors, huh. So THAT'S why HAL went apeshit on those astronauts. It's all so simple and somewhat understandable now. Hearing them talk about de-programming him, the poor little guy must have had flashbacks. And being a robot and all, those memories must have been clear and vibrant as a motherfucker.

I have always wanted a robot chick to have sex with. Now they can get pregnant....PASS.

That's HOT!!

Somewhere out there is someone trying to purchase this so the can fulfill some sort of weird freaky fantasy they have.

Hi, I'm a Nursing student at the University of Manitoba. This is not fucked up- in fact this amazing robot will prevent medical errors and death from happening to a real person on the ward. I had the opportunity to work with a similar robot, and I must say it really prepared me for the real life experience. How dare you say this is weird and fucked up? A robot intended to better educate medical students and prevent mishaps in the hospital deserves the title of amazing!

Hey Ashley, while you were in the University, did you happen to get a sense of humour bypass?
