Product Description
The Protoclone is an eerie addition to a growing list of humanoid robots. Designed by Clone Robotics using its Myofiber technology, the robot consists of more than 1,000 synthetic muscles that mimic the function of 206 human bones. In a video demonstration, Clone Robotics shows the Protoclone flexing its leg muscles in a human-like manner as it dangles mid-air. The goal is to eventually have this robot complete tasks like prepping meals and doing laundry.
Mobility & Structure
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Locomotion Type | N/A | Bipedal, wheeled-hybrid, etc. | Defines interaction envelope |
| Degrees of Freedom (DOF) | N/A | # of controllable joints | Directly tied to dexterity & versatility |
| Max Walk Speed | N/A | m/s | Static, dynamic balancing |
Upper Body & Manipulation
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arm DOF | N/A | Each arm's axis count | Higher = more natural movement |
| Hand Dexterity | N/A | Pinch / 3-finger / 5-finger | Newtons |
| Grip Feedback | N/A | Force, pressure, tactile sensors | Enables delicate handling and learning |
Perception
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Sensors (Eyes) | N/A | RGB / Depth / IR / LiDAR | Navigation, facial recognition, object tracking |
| Eye DOF / Movement | N/A | Can they move? (Y/N, axis count) | Naturalistic interaction & gaze tracking |
| Audio Sensors (Ears) | N/A | # of mics + array type | Needed for voice commands, sound source localization |
| Face Display / Actuators | N/A | LED screen / moving eyebrows / static | Social communication, emotional response |
| Face Expressiveness | N/A | None / Basic / Realistic | Higher = better interaction in social spaces |
Interfaces
| Attribute | Value | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voice Recognition | N/A | NLP model + languages supported | Enables natural user interaction |
| Speech Output | N/A | TTS engine used + quality level | Critical for public/commercial use |
| Touch UI / Screen | N/A | Present or not | Optional fallback interaction |
| Remote Control | N/A | Web / App / Joystick | Needed for manual override or remote training |
