Meet Protoclone: The First Muscular Humanoid Robot by Clone Company!

The world's first "humanoid robot" is here. Called Protoclone, the human-like robot has garnered widespread attention on social media. This robot features an exquisite design and possesses a structure resembling muscles and bones, which is quite astonishing. In a captivating video, Protoclone is seen hanging quietly from a harness, and over time, it gradually begins to twitch and move, eventually activating its limbs and displaying an incredibly human-like posture.

Enhanced Features 

Protoclone is a unique and advanced robot developed by the tech startup Clone Robotics, which claims that the robot is the world's first "muscle-skeletal android robot." In the video, the robot's legs and arms continuously twitch, while synthetic muscles contract beneath its translucent skin, seemingly demonstrating real physiological responses. While this innovation is noteworthy, the astonishing sight of the twitching robot evokes discomfort, sparking limitless imagination and debates about future technologies.

According to Clone Robotics, their goal is to create "synthetics" that are nearly indistinguishable from real humans. Protoclone's body structure consists of over 1,000 synthetic muscles and 500 sensors, providing 200 degrees of freedom of movement. This means the robot can perform up to 200 independent movements. Although Protoclone is referred to as "faceless," its design remains extremely "anatomically correct."

A Brewing Competition? 

The development team behind Protoclone has also compared it with other robot manufacturers, emphasizing its technological uniqueness. Clone Robotics even challenges Tesla's robots, claiming that their product has advantages in multiple aspects, with emphasis on muscle strength and cost. 

Clone Robotics has further stated that they will launch more stunning products in 2025, throwing down the gauntlet to rival companies.
