Clone Robotics launches its first musculoskeletal humanoid robot Protoclone

Recently, the world's first "humanoid robot" Protoclone has attracted widespread attention on social media. This robot not only has exquisite appearance design, but also has muscles and bone structure, which is amazing. In a compelling video, Protoclone hangs quietly on a hanger, gradually starting to twitch and move over time, and eventually the limbs begin to move, showing an extremely humanized posture.

Protoclone is developed by tech startup Clone Robotics, which claims Protoclone is the world's first "musculoskeletal Android robot." In the video, the robot's legs and arms are constantly twitching, and the synthetic muscles are constantly shrinking under its translucent skin, as if showing a real physiological reaction. This amazing scene not only makes people feel uneasy, but also makes people have endless imaginations about future technology.

The company’s goal is to create “synthetics” that are almost indistinguishable from real humans. The body structure of Protoclone is composed of more than 1,000 synthetic muscles and 500 sensors, and has 200 degrees of freedom of movement, meaning it can achieve up to 200 independent movements. Although Protoclone is called "faceless", its appearance is still designed to be extremely "anatomically correct".

The robot's development team also compared it with other robot manufacturers, emphasizing its technical uniqueness. Clone Robotics even challenged Tesla’s robots, claiming that their products have advantages in multiple ways, especially in terms of muscle strength and cost. In addition, Clone Robotics also said they will launch more amazing products in 2025.
