Meet Clone Alpha: The Human-Like Robot Redefining the Limits of Technology [Video]

According to the technology desk of Saed News, Polish company Clone Robotics has unveiled its first humanoid robot, named Clone Alpha. The robot’s standout feature is its use of artificial limbs and muscles, enabling Clone Alpha to perform skeletal, muscular, vascular, and neural functions, while replicating many human behaviors.

Reports indicate that the robot’s muscular system uses Myofiber, an artificial muscle technology introduced by the company in 2021. Similar to animals, the system moves the robot by connecting muscles to precise points on its skeleton.

This technology gives Clone Alpha remarkable freedom of motion. The company states that its upper body has 164 degrees of movement freedom. Other features include four depth-detection cameras, 70 inertial sensors for joint feedback, and 320 pressure sensors to capture muscle force feedback.

The data from these sensors is processed by NVIDIA Jetson Thor and the company’s Cybernet model.

While companies like Tesla develop robots for household tasks, Clone Robotics focuses on bio-inspired robotics. Founded in 2021, the company aims to replicate the strength and dexterity of biological creatures in robots, tackling the complex challenge of simulating the human body.

Early projects included creating a robotic hand with artificial bones and muscles that mimicked human movements—for instance, a fully rotating thumb capable of easily gripping a ball. The company later developed a humanoid upper torso featuring a movable elbow and realistic shoulder joints.

Building on this expertise, Clone Robotics has now produced a fully humanoid robot capable of walking naturally.

With its Myofiber artificial muscle system, which covers all 206 human bones, the company aims to redefine humanoid robotics. The system eliminates tendon limitations and offers features such as sub-50 millisecond response times, over 30% contraction without load, and a minimum of 1 kilogram of contraction force per 3-gram muscle fiber.

According to the company, Myofiber is the only artificial muscle technology capable of achieving such power, speed, and efficiency.

Clone Robotics has announced that a limited pre-sale of the robot will begin in 2025.
