Clone's synthetic organ systems: ⦿ The skeletal system replicates 206 human bones with a small number bone fusions and fully articulated joints featuring artificial ligaments and tendons. Its design enables complex joint-muscle relationships, including 20 degrees of freedom in the shoulder, 6 per spinal vertebra, and 26 across the hand, wrist, and elbow, totaling 164 degrees of freedom in the upper torso. The skeleton is made from durable, low-cost polymers. ⦿ The muscular system animates its skeleton using Myofiber, Clone's proprietary artificial muscle technology developed in 2021. Myofibers, designed as monolithic musculotendon units, attach to anatomically accurate points on the bones. Each fiber replicates mammalian skeletal muscle, responding in under 50 milliseconds, contracting over 30% unloaded, and producing at least 1 kg of force for a muscle fiber weighing just 3 grams. ⦿ The vascular system is an advanced hydraulic power system featuring a 500-watt electric pump, as compact as a human heart, delivering 40 SLPM flow at 100 psi to power the entire muscular system. Clone's Aquajet valve operates at 100 psi with a 2.28 SLPM flow, under 1 watt of power, in a compact 12mm design. ⦿ The nervous system enables instant neural control of valves and muscles using proprioceptive and visual feedback. It features 4 depth cameras, 70 inertial sensors for joint-level proprioception, and 320 pressure sensors for muscle force feedback. Control boards along the vertebrae use high-speed microcontrollers to communicate with the NVIDIA Jetson Thor GPU in the skull, running Cybernet, Clone's visuomotor foundation model.

Clone just unveiled their musculoskeletal torso. 🤯 It includes an actuated elbow, cervical spine (neck), and anthropomorphic shoulders with the sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic, and glenohumeral joints. The valve matrix fits compactly inside the ribcage.
