Clone Robotics has just introduced its new humanoid robot, Torso, which is drawing comparisons to the lifelike creations in Westworld.
Clone Robotics' Torso Draws Comparisons to Westworld's Host Drones: [ Ссылка ]
Like the hosts in the HBO show, Torso is designed with human-like movement and dexterity. This innovation suggests Clone is on track to create synthetic humans that might one day closely resemble Westworld’s vision of lifelike, interactive robots.
In the show, inspired by Michael Chrichton’s 1973 sci-fi western, human-like robots are referred to as host drones. They’re entirely artificial but their programming and realistic materials make them seem almost human. The host drones populate a massive theme park that offers immersive experiences to wealthy guests. The patrons can interact with the hosts any way they choose without consequence.
Initially the drones follow their strict programming and reset after each guest interaction. As time goes on, however, some hosts gain consciousness and self-awareness. This leads to rebellion as the hosts resist their makers and seek revenge. The exact year Westworld takes place is not explicitly stated in the show but it’s set in a futuristic timeline, likely in the mid-21st century or later.
Clone Robotics’ bimanual torso has moving elbows, a neck, and realistic shoulder joints that allow it to move its arms and shoulders in ways similar to a real person. The robot uses hydraulics to mimic the strength and flexibility of human muscles. Its valve system is neatly placed inside its ribcage, helping it control its movements.
