ProtoClone
by Clone
Launch Year: 2025
Protoclone is a highly advanced bipedal musculoskeletal android developed by Clone Robotics, designed to closely mimic human anatomy and movement. It features a polymer skeleton with 206 bones, over 1,000 artificial muscle fibers called Myofibers, and more than 200 degrees of freedom, enabling fluid, human-like motions. Equipped with 500 sensors including cameras, pressure, and inertial sensors, it integrates synthetic skeletal, muscular, vascular, and nervous systems. Currently powered by a 500-watt electric pump and pneumatic actuators, it is planned to transition to hydraulics for enhanced performance. Protoclone targets household and commercial applications such as cooking, cleaning, and other domestic tasks, representing a milestone in biomimetic robotics with a focus on natural movement and interaction.
