An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that the technology developed by the researchers in Suzhou could eliminate the need for a woman to carry a fetus outside the body.

Instead, the researchers say, it could help resolve a number of reproductive problems.

An artificial womb for fetuses to safely grow in, and a robotic nanny to monitor and take care of them.

That is, once the law allows the use of such technology.

This AI nanny is looking after a large number of animal embryos for now, they said in findings published in the domestic peer-reviewed Journal of Biomedical Engineering last month.

But the same technology could help solve some major reproductive problems for humans, the paper says.
