Clone Robotics has unveiled a prototype humanoid robot named Protoclone, highlighted in a recent YouTube video where it shows flexing limbs and intricate movements. With over 200 degrees of freedom and 1,000 Myofibers, the robot aims for anatomically accurate movement. Despite its advanced features, the robot's hanging display signifies its prototype status, as it is not yet capable of autonomous movement. The startup aims to engineer a robot that mimics human anatomy through synthetic systems to potentially replace human workers in various tasks.
It's not clear that anyone was asking for a company to build a muscular, sinewy robot or to see a video of it dangling, helpless from a hook, but life is full of surprises and this YouTube video of Clone Robotics' "Protoclone" is here all the same.
The impressive part here is that the Protoclone has "over 200 degrees of freedom, over 1,000 Myofibers, and over 200 sensors," and also that the robot is "faceless," for some reason.
The end goal for the startup is to build an android that's anatomically correct, with synthetic nervous, skeletal, muscular and vascular systems powering its movement.
That the Protoclone is dangling in the video rather than roaming around of its own accord is a reflection of its prototype nature.
