Torso: New creepy humanoid robot with water-powered muscles unveiled


Polish startup Clone Robotics is working on biomimetic robots - one that can carry out movements much like biological creatures.

The demo video shows a bot in ghostly white, sufficiently creepy to earn a role in a scary movie. Companies like Tesla have unveiled bipedal bots that can jump and dance and are being readied to help humans with daily chores. On its YouTube page, the company writes that the Torso has an “actuated elbow, a cervical spine (neck), and anthropomorphic shoulders with sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic and glenohumeral joints.”
