A Polish robotics company, Clone Robotics, has developed the 'Protoclone' humanoid robot, claiming it to be the world's first bipedal musculoskeletal android.
The robot features an anatomically accurate bone structure and musculature, and is capable of walking, talking, and performing household chores.
In a viral video, the robot is seen suspended from the ceiling and twitching to life as its limbs jerk and move, powered by artificial muscles attached to specific bone points.
While the company is proud of its technological achievement, the reactions on social media have been mixed, ranging from disgust to fascination.
