A world first in fertility medicine: a healthy baby boy has been born after a fully automated, AI-powered robotic system performed ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and it was done entirely by remote control.
What happened?
Engineers and embryologists in New York remotely operated an automated system while the procedure took place at a fertility clinic in Guadalajara, Mexico, over 3,700 km away. The robotic system completed all 23 steps of the ICSI process, from selecting the best sperm using AI to injecting it into the egg with a precision-controlled motor. The result? A healthy blastocyst that led to a full-term pregnancy and the delivery of a healthy baby boy to a 40-year-old patient who had previously had an unsuccessful IVF cycle.
How did it perform?
The automated system achieved an 80% fertilization rate (4 out of 5 eggs), which was comparable to the manually performed ICSI controls (3 out of 3). Two usable blastocysts were produced in each group. The procedure took about 10 minutes per egg , slightly longer than ...
