It is possible for a female robot to be implanted with a human egg-cell that can be fertilized internally by a human male, and for her to nourish that cell in the laboratory of her body and birth it in the human fashion, becoming a surrogate mother to his child.

Parthenogenesis, or the development of an embryo from an egg-cell without the latter having been fertilized, has been described in species of _Thalictrum_, _Antennaria_ and _Alchemilla_.

These, as in Gymnosperms, are of two kinds, microspores or pollen-grains, borne in the stamens (or microsporophylls) and megaspores, in which the egg-cell is developed, contained in the ovule, which is borne enclosed in the carpel (or megasporophyll).

This in spite of the fact that the tiny paternal germ-cell is the only medium of transmission of the paternal qualities, while the mother furnishes the much larger egg-cell, and feeds him throughout the embryonic period.

Sex Avoided subjects Discussed in Plain English Henry Stanton

Under all conditions, the sex is determined by a struggle for the mastery in the egg-cell, between the energy of that egg-cell and the energy of the male spermatozoon.

Polyembryony is generally associated with the development of cells other than the egg-cell.

Under all conditions, the matter of sex is determined in the egg-cell at the moment of fertilization.

The gametophyte or prothallial generation is thus extremely reduced, consisting of but little more than the male and female sexual cells -- the two sperm-cells in the pollen-tube and the egg-cell (with the synergidae) in the embryo-sac.
