About Clone Robotics

Clone Robotics was founded in Warsaw, Poland in 2021 with a distinctive and ambitious technical approach: building humanoid robots that replicate the musculoskeletal structure of the human body rather than using conventional electric motors and rigid linkages. The company's founders argue that human-level dexterity and movement quality require human-like anatomy, and that purely motorised joints will always fall short in tasks requiring fine manipulation, compliant interaction, and natural motion.

The company's development platform uses artificial muscles, tendons, and a skeletal structure that mirrors human biomechanics. Each hand alone contains dozens of individually actuated degrees of freedom, enabling grip patterns and manipulation capabilities that conventional grippers cannot approach. Clone Robotics has published compelling demonstration videos of its prototype hardware performing tasks requiring delicate touch and complex grip sequences.

The company is backed by European deep-tech investors and operates from Warsaw. While still in the R&D and pre-commercial phase as of 2025, Clone Robotics has attracted significant attention from the research community and from investors interested in long-term bets on biomimetic robotics. The company has also made efforts to engage the developer community, publishing technical content about its artificial muscle architecture.

Key Products

• Clone humanoid prototype: full-body musculoskeletal humanoid using artificial muscles and biomimetic skeletal structure; in advanced development
• Artificial muscle system: proprietary actuator technology enabling high-DoF, compliant movement across all body segments

UK Market Presence

Clone Robotics does not currently have a UK commercial presence or distribution network. UK researchers and institutions interested in accessing the platform should contact the company directly through its Warsaw headquarters. As the company approaches commercialisation, UK distribution arrangements are expected to develop through European robotics distributors.

Buying Used Clone Robotics Equipment

No secondhand market exists for Clone Robotics platforms at this stage, as the company has not yet shipped commercial units. Any future secondhand market will likely emerge first through research institutions that participated in early access programmes. Given the complexity of the artificial muscle system and the proprietary nature of the actuator control firmware, used units would require direct manufacturer support to maintain or repair.
