Remember to Breathe, Robot Mom, Breathe!!!
According to Zee News, robots are no longer content with simply stealing all the good factory jobs and having all the cool dances named after them.
Now they’re horning in on the whole childbirth thing, too.
Kyunghee University Medical Center in Seoul is the first institution in South Korea to use Noelle, a life-sized robot, and her “newborn” to give obstetric students experience.
“With this simulator training tool, we can conduct not only normal deliveries, but also complicated deliveries such as breech births, Caesarean deliveries,” Professor Jung Eui told a television channel. “Students can practice in a very realistic situation with this mannequin.”
Students regularly crowd around Noelle as she gives “birth.” They take turns at monitoring her vital signs and at pulling the “baby” out of her body.
The newborn, also a robot, is equipped with lights on its hands and cheeks to indicate its health — blue lights mean problems while pink lights signal all is ok.
Umm, yeah, that’s not creepy at all. Sure, it’s all giggles and grins when you yank a pink light robot out, but Jebus save you if it’s a blue light baby.
Because you know the robots don’t take kindly to lazybone student doctors paying more attention to Grey’s Anatomy than their robot birthing textbooks.
