Clone Robotics has introduced a chilling innovation that blurs the line between reality and nightmare.
The Polish startup showcased a video of Protoclone, a faceless and anatomically precise synthetic human suspended from strings. This groundbreaking android is described as the world’s first bipedal, musculoskeletal robot.
According to the video, which has garnered over 33 million views, Protoclone features more than “200 degrees of freedom, over 1,000 Myofibers, and 500 sensors,” alongside synthetic organ systems that mimic human biology — even to the point of “bleeding” if punctured.
The video amplifies its eerie appeal with a robotic twitch and ominous music, evoking a horror film atmosphere that has resonated with viewers across the internet.
This remarkable development raises important questions about the future of robotics, leaving spectators intrigued or unsettled by its implications. As technology advances, it is essential to consider the impact and ethics of creating such lifelike entities.
