The PlayStation 5's DualSense controller is undoubtedly the best controller of the current generation of consoles. Both users and developers have spoken wonders about it and its benefits when it comes to playing. One more praise has just been added to these, as it became the first controller used to bring humans to life.
The feat was carried out at the New Hope Fertility Center in New York, which received a machine directly from the newly created company Overture Life, located in Spain.
The machine, in broad strokes, consists of 1 robot, 1 microscope, 1 mechanized needle, 1 small petri dish, and 1 laptop. The most interesting thing is that the DualSense controller was used to control the robotic needle, although surely due to the delicate process of in vitro fertilization, adaptive triggers, vibration, and other features were suppressed.
Surely, this may seem strange to some, but honestly, it is not. Like any other controller, the DualSense can not only be useful when playing (for which it was invented), but also for carrying out other tasks.
In this case, Overture wants to make the in vitro fertilization process more automated, less expensive, and more frequent. Let us remember that more than half of people who need assistance to have a child do not have the necessary resources to acquire fertility medicine or the process in general.
The best way to demonstrate this was with the involvement of the mechanical engineering student in the project (who did not have deep knowledge of embryology) carrying out the fertilization by controlling it through the DualSense.
You can see the video, courtesy of Overture (via MIT Technology Review), below.
The fertilization was the first to be carried out with the intervention of a robot - and the DualSense. Subsequently, the robot was used to fertilize more embryos, 2 of which today are two baby girls who have the title of the first people born from robotic fertilization.
