The hand’s development
The machine is the work of Clone Robotics (formerly Automaton Robotics), a startup with the lofty goal of creating low-cost humanoids that can do all the jobs people don’t want — from cleaning our homes to working assembly lines in factories.
Clone believes the key to getting there is making the machines as physically human-like as possible, and as the first step along that path, the company is tackling arguably the hardest part of the human body to replicate: our hands.
