Clone Alpha
Clone Alpha is a biomimetic humanoid robot from Kraków-based Clone Robotics, standing ~170 cm and weighing ~60 kg with 206 artificial bones and 164 degrees of freedom in the upper body, actuated by proprietary water-hydraulic Myofiber artificial muscles rather than electric motors. It integrates 4 depth cameras, 70 inertial sensors, and 320 pressure sensors feeding an NVIDIA Jetson Thor with the Cybernet visuomotor AI model, with approximately 1.5 hours of runtime. As of late 2026, no units have been confirmed shipped.

Stockholm-based startup 120ft has emerged from stealth with €576,000 in angel funding from 22 investors to build microfactories composed of three 40-foot shipping containers—one each for component preparation, assembly, and inspection/packing. The company plans to operate humanoid robots (whose website imagery suggests Unitree G1 units) to offer small-batch assembly starting at 100 units, letting brands pay per finished product. 120ft's 'Factory OS' software coordinates AI models and automation, with the company claiming its skill-programming time dropped from seven weeks in 2025 to seven hours in 2026, targeting seven minutes in 2027.
