Clone Alpha: Your Future Robot Buddy

Clone Robotics, a Polish company known for designing lifelike robots, has introduced its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. This advanced android includes synthetic organs, artificial muscles, and a skeletal system designed to replicate human anatomy, setting a new benchmark in humanoid robotics.

Founded in 2021 by Łukasz Koźlik and Dhanush Radhakrishnan, Clone Robotics specializes in biomimetic designs that mimic human movement. Their first product, the Clone Hand, offered 24 degrees of freedom and 37 artificial muscles, allowing it to perform complex, human-like tasks. With offices in Wrocław, Poland, and New York, USA, the company operates on a global scale.

Limited Edition Clone Alpha

Clone Robotics will release only 279 Clone Alpha, so if you want one, you’d better set your alarms for 2025. These robots are designed for home use and come with a Telekinesis training platform, letting owners teach the robot new abilities.

Pre-installed Skills:

• Learns your home layout.
• Tracks your kitchen inventory.
• Chats with witty responses.
• Greets guests with handshakes.
• Pours drinks and makes sandwiches.
• Handles laundry: washes, dries, and folds.
• Vacuums and manages lighting.
• Sets the dining table and handles the dishwasher.
• Follows and assists you around the house.
• Charges itself automatically.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Clone Alpha runs on Myofiber, Clone Robotics’ proprietary artificial muscle system introduced in 2021. These water-powered muscles connect to accurate skeletal points, mimicking mammalian muscle strength, speed, and energy efficiency. The robot features a realistic skeletal structure with 206 bones, fully functional joints, and up to 164 degrees of freedom in its upper body.

The robot's advanced nervous system includes:

• 70 inertial sensors to monitor joint movements.
• 320 pressure sensors to gauge muscle force.
• Four depth cameras for vision.

A compact electric pump mimics a human heart, using a unique Aquajet valve system to supply hydraulic pressure for smooth muscle movement. An NVIDIA Jetson Thor GPU powers Clone’s Cybernet AI model for data processing.

So, What’s Next?

Clone Robotics hasn’t shown us a fully working Clone Alpha yet—it’s more of a teaser right now. But if they pull this off, we might just be looking at the future of humanoid robots: helpful, human-like, and maybe just a little sassier than you’d expect.
