The tech world is seeing a paradigm shift with advanced robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and material innovations all coming together for some crazy innovations. The Una humanoid by UBTech Robotics for human-centric environments is a great example. If you thought she was in the uncomfortable territory of eerily human-like robots, then you better be ready for what Clone Robotics is developing.The California-based company has long been in the development of full-body androids, debuting the Clone Hand which was an ongoing development for the complete body. Now theyve shown off an anatomically lifelike robot thats eerily close to how we humans look. Called Protoclone V1, the synthetic human robot has a plain face to dial the realism down a notch as the whole body is already so lifelike.Designer: Clone RoboticsThis prototype faceless robot is the worlds first bipedal musculoskeletal android that makes use of in-house Myofiber technology to create the muscular structure with the 1,000 Myofibers attached to bone points, much like how animal anatomy. It has 164 degrees of freedom for the upper torso and is loaded with 500 sensors to have a very human-like limb movement. Currently, the android has pneumatics for actuating the movement but soon itll graduate to a hydraulic system for more accuracy. Talking of its anatomy, the bot has 206 bones with minor fusions, articulated joints, and even artificial ligaments.Protoclone V1 has synthetic systems to mimic the mammalian skeletal, vascular, nervous, and muscular structures never before seen on a robot. It has a response time of 50ms, is capable of 2.2 pounds of contraction force per 3 grams of muscle fiber, and has a 30 percent unload contraction. For the sensory inputs, the android makes use of 4 depth cameras, 70 inertial sensors, and 320 pressure sensors, connected to microcontrollers that send data to an NVIDIA Jetson Thor GPU. For a lifelike motion, Clone Robotics has fitted it with a 500-watt electric pump that powers the vascular system. This makes the Protoclone V1 both powerful and efficient compared to humans who are prone to tendon failures or muscle contractions.In the latest 40-second video, the humanoid can be seen moving its limbs being suspended from supporting wires. Thus, its safe to assume, that the bot still has to develop standing capabilities like Boston Robotics Atlas. One of its standout abilities is to sweat like a human. This is done via a cooling mechanism that makes use of water to regulate the internal temperature. Now thats crazy for a machine.The android is still in the prototype stage but Clone Robotics plans to launch a commercial version this year. Theyll name it Clone and it will have the capability to do household chores including laundry, preparing meals, or vacuuming your carpets!The post Lifelike robot from a dystopian world mimics human anatomy with complex muscular system first appeared on Yanko Design.
