Clone Robotics unveils $20K synthetic human roadmap
Clone Robotics just revealed an ambitious roadmap to build sub-$20K musculoskeletal androids powered by fluid-driven "Myofiber" muscles. The startup aims for scalpel-wielding robot torsos by late 2026, human-like walking by 2027, and hotel robot butlers by 2028. Why it matters: If Clone can actually scale artificial muscles cheaply, it could undercut traditional electric humanoids, though its timeline still lags behind factory-deployed rivals.
