Clone Hand
The Clone Hand is the most biomimetic robotic hand developed by Clone Robotics, replicating human dexterity with 27 degrees of freedom driven by 36 proprietary Myofiber artificial muscles in a musculoskeletal architecture. Featuring carbon-fiber bones, ligament-like tendons, and hydraulic actuation, it combines high force, speed, softness, and precision for human-tool compatibility, including thumb opposition and natural movements like pronation/supination. Iterations like V15-V19 demonstrate durability exceeding 1,000,000 cycles, enabling tasks from delicate handling to power gripping at human levels.
