Meet The World's First Bipedal, Musculoskeletal Android - Protoclone

The protoclone has a 500-watt electric pump that acts like a heart, pushing 40 liters of fluid through a human-like vascular system per minute. The fluid acts a lot like blood as it moves through the robot’s microchannels, carrying repair agents for self-diagnostics, regulating its temperature, and even acting as a lubricant.

Thus, the fluid helps the android maintain its staggering 200 degree of freedom, which allows each joint to move independently and gives the robot fine motor control on an unprecedented level. With that level of precision, the team hopes it’ll be able to help you complete household chores like washing dishes or doing the laundry. Besides, with over 500 sophisticated sensors helping it distinguish pressure and texture like a human, the protoclone can easily adapt to its environment...
