Polish startup Clone Robotics is working on biomimetic robots - one that can carry out movements much like biological creatures.
Clone Robotics, a Polish robotics company, unveiled its latest achievement: a humanoid torso capable of human-like movements. The demo video shows a bot in ghostly white, sufficiently creepy to earn a role in a scary movie. But under the hood, the humanoid’s engineering is marvelous.
But Clone Robotics isn’t trying to deliver household help. Founded in 2021, the company is working on biomimetic robotics, in which robots move with the strength and dexterity of biological beings. The company has chosen one of the toughest models to pursue —the human body. Clone Robotics began its journey by developing a robotic hand with artificial bones and muscles that can operate much like its human counterpart. It has a thumb that can rotate and even catch a ball without fumbling.
Instead of trying to achieve the movements that are possible with its robotic setup, Clone replicated the anatomy of the human Torso first and then worked out movements using artificial muscles. The Clone Torso has a lightweight skeleton that houses the components and provides structural support. In the video, the Torso is placed on a pelvis and features a head-like appendage. The entire body is covered in white skin to protect the electronic components.
