Robot Brief

Clone Alpha by Clone Robotics is a groundbreaking biomimetic humanoid robot that closely replicates human anatomy and movement through synthetic organ systems and advanced artificial muscle technology. Standing approximately 170 cm tall and weighing around 60 kg, Clone Alpha features a polymer skeleton with 206 bone analogues and 164 degrees of freedom, particularly in the upper torso, hands, wrists, elbows, and spine. Its revolutionary Myofiber artificial muscles contract rapidly using water-based hydraulic power, delivering smooth, powerful, and natural motions previously unseen in humanoid robots. The robot’s vascular system is powered by a compact 500-watt hydraulic pump circulating fluid through Aquajet valves, mimicking the human circulatory system. Clone Alpha’s nervous system integrates 182 sensors-including inertial, pressure, and depth cameras-feeding data to an NVIDIA Jetson Thor GPU running the proprietary Cybernet visuomotor AI model, enabling precise, adaptive, and lifelike control. This combination of biomimetic design and AI allows Clone Alpha to perform complex, dexterous tasks with human-like fluidity, setting a new standard in humanoid robotics. The robot is currently in prototype status with limited preorders available.

Use Cases

Clone Alpha performs highly dexterous and fluid human-like movements, enabled by its artificial muscles and anatomically accurate skeleton. It can manipulate objects with fine precision, perform complex gestures, and execute tasks requiring strength and speed. Its advanced sensor suite and AI-driven control system allow it to adapt in real time to its environment, making it capable of delicate operations such as gripping, lifting, and interacting with objects and people in a natural manner. The robot’s design supports research, industrial applications, and domestic assistance, with potential for future enhancements in autonomy and task complexity.
