Clone Robotics' Protoclone: The World's Most Anatomically Accurate Android Stuns with Realistic Movements
April 15, 2025
Clone Robotics, founded in 2021, aims to create biomimetic robots that replicate the strength and agility of biological organisms, focusing on complex, human-like functionality.
The Protoclone, developed by Clone Robotics, is touted as the most anatomically accurate humanoid robot, mimicking human skeletal, muscular, vascular, and nervous systems with synthetic components.
This innovative robot features 200 degrees of freedom, 1,000 Myofibers, and 500 sensors, enabling it to perform lifelike movements and functions.
Each Myofiber unit is engineered to replicate natural muscle behavior, contracting significantly under load and generating over one kilogram of force per three grams, which enhances mobility and efficiency.
Protoclone's sensory system is sophisticated, incorporating 4 depth cameras, 70 inertial sensors, and 320 pressure sensors to monitor movement and feedback, all managed by a microcontroller network and an NVIDIA Jetson Thor GPU.
The robot utilizes soft, water-powered muscles for natural movement, representing a significant advancement over traditional rigid robotic structures.
While current versions of the robot utilize pneumatic systems, future models are expected to incorporate hydraulics for improved performance.
The humanoid structure includes all 206 human bones and features detailed joint articulation with artificial ligaments and connective tissues.
Earlier this year, the company described Protoclone as the 'most anatomically accurate android in the world,' highlighting its advanced design.
Recent footage of the Protoclone has gone viral, amassing over nine million views, with reactions ranging from admiration to fear due to its realistic appearance.
The video showcases the robot flexing its muscles, which has been described as both impressive and unsettling, evoking comparisons to scenes from the show Black Mirror.
In previous footage, the Protoclone was seen hanging from the ceiling and moving its legs, further demonstrating its advanced capabilities.
