00:00It looks like humans trying to build Westworld in real life.
00:03This is Torso, a groundbreaking robot that moves eerily like a human
00:07thanks to artificial muscles that power its movement.
00:10Created by Clone Robotics, it's basically a human upper body
00:14complete with shoulders, elbow, and a neck that all move like ours.
00:18But here's what makes it revolutionary.
00:20Instead of clunky robotic joints, it uses artificial muscles
00:23and hydraulic systems that are hidden inside of its ribcage.
00:27The shoulder system even mimics our complex joint structure,
00:31including the same movements that your shoulder makes.
00:34Right now, they're teaching it to use both hands together, just like we do.
00:38This could be a huge step towards robots that move and work right alongside us naturally.
00:43Think about it.
00:44We're literally building robots with artificial muscles
00:47that can one day be as capable as human ones.
00:51So the question is, will we be putting them to work for us?
00:53Or will we be dressing up like cowboys to help us live out our Wild West fantasies?
