It is not clear that anyone asked for a business to build a muscular robot of tendonate or to see a video of it, powerless from a hook, but life is full of surprises and This YouTube video Clone Robotics “Protoclone” is here all the same.
Protoclone seems to be a prototype version of the “Clone” robot The well -named Robotics Clone works to build. The video shows the bending protoclon its arms and legs, with visible artificial muscle fibers moving under its white “skin”. Based on the video description of Clone Robotic, the impressive part here is that the protoclone has “more than 200 degrees of freedom, more than 1,000 myofibers and more than 200 sensors”, and that the robot is “faceless”, for any reason.
The final objective of the startup is to build an Android which is anatomically correct, with nervous, skeletal, muscular and vascular synthetic systems supplying its movement. The “myofibers” included in protoclon are a creation of personalized clone robotics with “the desirable qualities of the skeletal muscle of mammals”. For the purposes of the robot of possible clones, these qualities are the capacity to “respond in less than 50 ms with a contraction not loaded with more than 30%” and “at least a kilogram of contraction force for a single muscle fiber of three grams “” According to the Clone Robotics website.
The fact that the protoclone is suspended in the video rather than browsing its own free will is a reflection of its prototype nature. Robots are often suspended or supported with a support arm until they can endure their own body weight, which can be difficult to achieve without all the right materials.
Clone Robotics is not unique to continue a human robot which could theoretically replace human workers. Figure Explore a similar idea, less muscles. Tesla started with bad foots with A person in spandex costumeBut it is serious about robotsAlso. Even the largest technological companies have turned their attention to the robots: both Meta And Apple would explore robotics as a future product category. It is just to say that Clone Robotics wins when it comes to publish videos of muscle robots.
