The Story
Ian, a Doctor of Mechanical Engineering and Software Development and his wife Jane, have recently discovered that they are both infertile, and have been told that the only way they will have children is through IVF or adoption, both of which have very low odds of success. Out of anger and depression they both deal with the news in different ways, damaging their relationship and future together. Ian begins to use his skills and intelligence to find a solution to their nightmare and thus BOB-i is born, a modified, real-time learning robot baby that can accommodate everything a parent needs in a child. But even with his new creation, Ian and Jane's relationship is not yet saved, and the arrival of BOB-i will change their future in ways they could have never imagined.
