Clone presents the most anatomically accurate humanoid robot: a step into the future or a marketing stunt?
Polish startup Clone has made a bold statement in the world of robotics: the company has unveiled the fully assembled body of its humanoid robot for the first time. Its main feature is anatomical accuracy, designed to closely mimic human structure. Developers claim that this is the first robot capable of natural movements, thanks to an innovative system of artificial muscles and tendons. But how groundbreaking is this technology? And can Clone truly revolutionize the humanoid robot market?
A body resembling a human: how does it work?
Currently, several companies are developing humanoid robots, including Tesla with its Optimus project, Boston Dynamics with Atlas, and the Chinese company Fourier Intelligence. However, all of these robots rely on a mechanical structure based on servos and joints. Clone has taken a different approach.
Anatomical accuracy is achieved through a biomimetic design. Beneath the synthetic skin lies a system of artificial muscles and tendons powered by hydraulics, allowing the android to replicate human movements with high realism.
Most modern robots move jerkily, as their joints operate using traditional motors and mechanical actuators. Clone claims that its technology enables smooth and natural motion, making the robot feel more human-like.
The company has not yet disclosed all details, but it is known that the robot’s skin is made of synthetic material designed to mimic the texture of human skin. However, a major question remains—how durable will this development be?
Where will these robots be used?
Clone is considering various applications for its androids, primarily in household and service roles.
- Personal assistants – robots that can function as butlers and perform household tasks.
- Social robots – devices designed to assist people with disabilities.
- Medical training – robots could be used in medical education and rehabilitation centers.
- Entertainment – androids could be used in movies, theaters, or theme parks.
However, the technology is still in development, and the company has not revealed how advanced its artificial intelligence system is. This will be a key factor in determining how useful and autonomous these robots can be.
When will they be available?
Clone has announced that pre-orders for the humanoid robot will open this year, but pricing has not yet been disclosed. This suggests that the project has at least reached a stage where commercial release is being considered.
There are still some uncertainties. Will the robot be fully functional, or is this just a marketing prototype? What will its price be? Humanoid robots typically cost anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. How long will it function without maintenance? Hydraulic systems often require complex upkeep.
If Clone successfully brings this project to the commercial market, it could be a breakthrough for the industry. But for now, we must wait for further demonstrations and technical details.
Humanoid robots: reality or science fiction?
Projects like Clone bring us closer to a world where androids become a part of everyday life. However, it is still unclear whether the Polish startup will truly transform the industry or if its robot will remain a concept that never reaches mass production.
Either way, Clone has managed to capture attention—so we will likely hear more about their developments soon.
