Creepy faceless ‘Clone Alpha’ robot with synthetic organs, artificial muscles and even veiny arms coming next year
With more than 200 “bones” and a synthetic breathing system, an EERIE humanoid robot that mimics human anatomy has recently achieved a new milestone.
The Polish business that developed the technology, Clone Robotics, has announced that pre-orders for the limited edition robot will open in 2025.
Clone Alpha, the robot, is referred to as a “musculoskeletal android” because it lacks the conventional robotics components of ligaments, muscles, and organs.
Only 279 of the robot will be produced by Clone Robotics, which has only recently begun production.
On its website, Clone Robotics states, “The Clone’s muscular system animates the skeleton thanks to Clone’s revolutionary artificial muscle technology Myofiber.”
A battery-powered system of pumps and valves circulates water throughout the body to move the joints and muscles.

The torso, which has a spine and ribs that resemble those of a human, has a container that holds the water.
When compared to its tougher competitors, a water-filled robot is also softer and more human-like.
The business has not yet demonstrated Clone Alpha in use, and some observers question if the humanoid is prepared for the market.
Although the robot’s individual sections appear promising, it is yet unclear how these parts will function as a whole.
Clone Robotics asserts that Alpha has 16 pre-installed talents, including the capacity to memorize your home’s layout and kitchen contents, however doubt persists.

According to the corporation, it can even generate “witty dialogue” and serve as your personal housekeeping and butler.
It’s said that Alpha can vacuum, set the dining table, pour drinks, make sandwiches, get things for you, unload the dishwasher, and even wash, dry, and fold your clothes.
Additionally, it appears that clients can teach the bot new skills using Telekinesis, the company’s training platform.
Dhanush Radhakrishnan and Lucas Kozlik, the company’s creators, think that a robot can be used in the workplace as well as the household.
Human-like movement will make it easier for robots to transition into roles, saving businesses from having to redesign their manufacturing lines to accommodate them.
