About

Protoclone Android refers to a prototype of a bipedal, musculoskeletal android created by the Polish company Clone Robotics. A video of the white, faceless humanoid robot was posted to Twitter / X in February 2025, showing the machine hanging from a hook and twitching to demonstrate its synthetic muscles, which are designed to mimic human muscle contractions to movement. The video spawned numerous memes and jokes from internet users who deemed the footage to be creepy and unsettling, with many questioning the need to create such a robot. The android drew comparisons to Second Angel Lilith from Neon Genesis, Minos from Ultrakill, Amestrian Mannequin Soldiers from Fullmetal Alchemist and the synthetic androids from Westworld, among others.

History

Protoclone is a humanoid android developed by the Polish robotics company Clone Robotics. The robot is designed to replicate human muscle movement and features hydraulic-powered artificial muscles that mimic the flexibility and strength of biological tissue.

The company claims to be creating the machine in order to undertake tasks that require human dexterity. Clone Robotics announced the release of the prototype in December 2024, laying out the groundwork for their plan to manufacture 279 units of the robot in 2025.[1]

On December 6th, 2024, the robotics company uploaded a video titled, "Torso 2 by Clone with Actuated Abdomen" to its YouTube[7] channel, gathering over 200,000 views in two months.

On February 19th, 2025, the Twitter / X[2] page for Clone Robotics posted a promotional photo showing the robot they call "Protoclone," a faceless, white and muscular android shown to be hanging from a tether as its feet twitch and twist mid-air. The video gathered over 37.4 million views and 53,000 likes in two days.
