The Future Helper for Household Chores? Clone Robotics Creates the "Most Human-like" Bionic Robot Protoclone

A startup based in Poland, Clone Robotics stands out in the robotics industry with its AI bionic technology and has successfully created what is now hailed as the "most anatomically precise robot in the world," the "Protoclone." This bionic robot, equipped with over 1,000 artificial muscles and 206 pieces of artificial skeleton, is ushering in a new era of human-robot collaboration.

Nature spent 3.8 BILLION years perfecting human anatomy.

Boston Dynamics ignored it. Tesla dismissed it.

Breaking Limits: Biomimetic Design Redefines Bots' Bodies

Unlike existing or parkour-type Bots like Boston Dynamics ( or Tesla's Optimus prototype, Clone Robotics has taken an innovative path that mimics human anatomical structures.

Clone Robotics official website shows that Protoclone V1 is equipped with the following core technologies:

Over 1,000 artificial muscles: Using Clone's innovative Myofiber technology, these hydraulic muscles are 30% faster than human muscles, with a response time of less than 50 milliseconds.

206 pieces of artificial bones: exactly the same number as human bones, equipped with simulated joints, ligaments, and connective tissue.

500 sensors: including 320 pressure sensors, 70 inertial sensors, and 4 depth cameras, providing precise environmental perception capabilities.

Ultra-high degree of freedom: The upper body alone has 164 individual freedom angles, with a total of over 200 three-dimensional degrees of freedom, achieving movements that are close to human flexibility.

The precise and complex composition allows this Bot to perform actions with extreme precision, such as catching a ball or lifting weights, with a single-hand lifting capability of up to 30 kilograms, which is 60 times that of similar products on the market.

From Garage to International Stage: The Comeback Story of Polish Startups

Speaking of the origins of Clone Robotics, the company was founded by three engineers in 2021 in Poland, initially relying entirely on self-funding. As the technology stabilized and matured, the company took advantage of Poland's low-cost advantages to expand its business to the Warsaw and Silicon Valley areas of California.

Combining Poland's engineering strength with the resources of American venture capital, the company has currently received investments from Pioneer Fund, Tango, and Wikus Ventures, and has completed its Seed VC-II round of financing.

It is reported that Protoclone V1 will open for pre-orders at the end of 2025, with a limited first batch of 279 units, priced at approximately 20,000 US dollars.

Overcoming the biggest challenge of Bots: high precision movements and agility

Although the business robots currently on the market excel at handling transportation and repetitive tasks, there remains a significant gap in their performance in household chores and daily operations. Clone Robotics' bionic technology fills this void, and Protoclone can now autonomously perform delicate tasks such as setting the table, pouring water, or folding clothes.

The precise musculoskeletal characteristics not only give it potential in industrial scenarios but also demonstrate significant application value in the smart home and personal assistant fields.

In other words, the technology of Clone Robotics is not only an engineering breakthrough but also has the potential to be a solution to the labor shortage problem. Protoclone has the potential to assist in household chores, long-term care, medical services, and customer service in the future.

When it can further develop voice and contextual understanding capabilities, it will truly step into a new generation of "smart assistants," becoming an important tool for improving quality of life.

There are still challenges ahead, but the future is promising.

Although Protoclone currently requires suspension support and cannot walk autonomously, its legs and movement system are still under development. However, Clone Robotics has demonstrated the feasibility and potential of its bionic technology.

Integrating over 1,000 muscles and 500 sensors is already a significant engineering challenge, especially for resource-constrained startups. However, this innovation from Poland may be leading global robotic technology into a new turning point, making Europe the next main stage for technological revolution.
