Video: How ghost-like humanoid robot comes to life with water-powered muscles

Clone Robotics is developing lifelike humanoid robots with water-powered artificial muscles that mimic human anatomy. Founded in 2021, the company created a robotic hand and full-body prototype using pressurized tubes that contract like human muscles, allowing natural movement with 200 degrees of freedom. This hydraulic system enables human-like tasks from opening doors to slicing vegetables, offering a fundamentally different approach than traditional motor-driven robots.
