So surreal it’s scary: China has created a robot capable of cloning animals without human help

Pigs have been the animal of choice for this disruptive experiment.

are far away the times when the human being I know surprised with the wonders of cloning. Something that science fiction has achieved since its inception, had a path of thorns in our reality, with the famous dolly sheep like a spearhead scientific milestone that amazed locals and strangers. We have already told you at Urban Tecno about the current possibilities of cloning pets, but we had not told you that robots They can also carry out complete process.

The cloning of a pig at the hands of a robot is one of the most surprising things you will discover today

We have to travel to China to meet the group researchers of the Nankai Universitybelonging to the College of Artificial Intelligence, which have developed a autonomous cloning methodat the moment with pigs as study subjects. The information, which has been published by the South China Morning Post digital newspaper, ensures that the researchers have achieved refine the cloning system eliminating the human component, which was what caused the margin of error to increase exponentially.

China has achieved a milestone in the field of cloning


The project managers have been able to modify algorithms that govern the robots used in research, which could lead to a increase in pork production in the not too distant future. Liu Yaoweione of the researchers, has assured to the aforementioned medium that:

Every stage of the cloning process was automated and there has been no involvement of any kind of human operation. Our AI-powered system can calculate the strain inside the cell and direct the robot to use the minimum force to complete the cloning process, thus reducing cell damage caused by human hands.

Effectively, China is in the world leaders in meat consumption of this animal and the cloning systemwhich has been devised through robots and artificial intelligence, could be one of the solutions to feed its entire population. In the country there are more than 400 million pigs and the annual consumption It is 35 kilograms per person, although China still needs to import this meat. The craft processwhich previously could supply around 1,000 clones a day, was heavy and inefficientbut it seems that the entrance of technology could glimpse a future full of cloned pigs.
