'Synthetic human' robot twitches and spams into LIFE in terrifying new video

While we may be impressed by their artificial intelligence, humanoids often have an awkward, clunky gait. Now, experts have developed a robot with astonishingly lifelike movements – thanks to synthetic muscles beneath translucent skin. Polish startup Clone Robotics has shared a terrifying new clip of Protoclone, its'faceless, anatomically accurate synthetic human'. Like something from the Terminator movies, the 6-foot prototype machine hangs from the ceiling in the company's secretive development workshop. As ominous music plays, Protoclone twitches its limbs back and forth with its head bowed, like a puppet brought to life in a mad scientist's lab.
