Torso 2 by Clone with Actuated Abdomen

Clone's Torso 2 is the most advanced android ever created with an actuated lumbar spine and all the corresponding abdominal muscles. Torso 2 dons a white transparent skin that encloses 910 muscle fibers animating its 164 degrees of freedom and includes 182 sensors for feedback control.

These Torsos use pneumatic actuation with off-the-shelf valves that are noisy from the air exhaust. Our biped brings back our hydraulic design with custom liquid valves for a silent android.
[Ref:    • Hand cycle testing  ].

These are hand-written, hardcoded sequences to pressure control each muscle and demonstrate the power of Clone's hardware. Opaque white visor is also temporary and will be replaced with a one-way mirror.

Legs are coming very soon!
