Medical students at John Hopkins University are getting a real-life birthing experience when a robot goes into labor. Noelle the robot is a lifelike birthing simulation tool being used to train medical students. It definitely is a great aid for medical students to have a full simulated model that can actually teach realistic maneuvers of uncomplicated as well as complicated actual child birth situations. The robot was constructed for two years and is now being used in real world settings for medical education and for residency education because of its ability to provide actual learning experience without risk since it's better to learn and make mistakes on a robot instead of a real person.
