Robot with 1,000 muscles twitches like human while dangling from ceiling

Great, soon I won't even know if someone is human in real life as well. Youre all bots.
Nonsense, fellow human! I am sure you---l mean we---have nothing to fear!

No, it's pretty much only you thinking that. The rest of us were thinking about the 6 tiny bones in the ears only used for hearing or dozens of weird little bones in the wrists and ankles.
Hmm, I have some questions to ask myself seemingly

This kind of thing could actually be really beneficial for prosthetics. If we can make a robot that functions as close as possible to a human body at human size, then we can chunk it up to make prosthetics that work like your original limbs and are easy to adapt to.

Doesn’t mean they didn’t give it a dick though

I don’t understand these companies’ obsession with humanoid robots. A robot doesn’t have to humanoid to be a useful household helper. It doesn’t even have to be humanoid for people to form a friendly bond with it (something I think would be a good quality in a “household helper”) just look at Star Wars droids
It has to be humanoid to live among humans, using human architecture and technology.

There is another video, showing only the torso. It has no music, but the actual sound and this is not even less terrifying https://youtu.be/gl0GnzPIOl4
Not much gets to me, but this shit is fucked up. I bet the people who work on these have horrible nightmares.

Data? Is that you?

To totally confuse you: The USA uses the "standard litre" while Europe uses "normal litre":
Thanks, you succeeded hahaha.
From what I'm reading there this is a measure of mass flow rate of gas, expressed as volume per minute at some standard volume and pressure. Which makes some sense, you need those two parameters to be fixed so you can measure mass by volume.
And then I realized the OP article uses it for a fluid

Now have it stand on the ground without supports.

It's clear they made this weird on purpose but still, so many questions...
the robot hangs suspended from the ceiling as its limbs twitch and kick, marking what the company claims is a step toward its goal of creating household-helper robots
Oh yeah, definitely a huge step in that direction...
Clone Robotics designed the Protoclone with a polymer skeleton that replicates 206 human bones
That's all of the bones of an human adult. Yeah, I'm sure absolutely all of them were necessary.
Certainly doesn't need a hyoid bone.

A 500-watt electric pump serves as the robot's "heart," pushing fluid at 40 standard liters per minute.
As usual, when you read the article you stumble upon a gigantic technical hurdle.

Pretty sure I've seen this one in a Silent Hill game

Aren't fluids and gases kinda the same thing in some aspects, just different mass? (Clearly, not a scientist).

The major difference is compressibility. Generally, liquids are practically incompressible. So just knowing the mass flow rate and density, volume flow rate can be calculated. It's not so simple for gases

First of all: Sorry, I made a mistake yesterday. I ment to say liquid but translated it wrong in my head
Now to your question, they are similar in some aspects, that's what makes gasses and liquids both be considered fluids, so fluid dynamics apply to both for example.
The difference is how much the molecules in the liquid or gas interact: A lot in the liquid, not significantly in most gasses under standard conditions.
And the things is, the SLPM measure apparently relies on a characteristic of ideal gasses, that one mol of gas particles under standard conditions always takes a fixed volume 22.41 l. So now I'm confused why they would use it for hydraulic fluid, which sounds like a liquid to me.

Ummm…. Nobody wants this. Rosie Jetson is the ideal household helper.

Someone on reddit had the idea that people working on this thing are probably recording audio logs onto individual USB-sticks, which they then leave scattered all over the facility.
