Clone Robotics unveils Protoclone, the world's first bipedal musculoskeletal android
Protoclone features over 1,000 artificial muscles and 500 sensors, enabling lifelike movements. The robot's design includes a full polymer skeleton replicating 206 human bones. Clone Robotics plans to produce 279 units of the Clone Alpha, with preorders opening later in 2025.
