Torso 2 with an actuated abdomen.

Fireside chat between @PeterDiamandis and Clone’s co-founder and CEO @dhanushisrad at @AbundanceSummit on March 10, 2026.

Torso 3 in the studio, now with joint angle feedback in the hands and in-house valves.

Dario acknowledges the multi-trillion dollar robotics opportunity, yet Anthropic is not hiring robotics talent; even as OpenAI and Google DeepMind aggressively build out their own robotics teams.

Start with the hardest constraint. In this clip, Dhanush from @clonerobotics explains why Clone spent its first two years focused almost entirely on the hand…

Building a fully actuated, human-level robotic hand by strength, speed, and range of motion is hard. Making it incredibly durable is even more challenging. Clone has pioneered anthropomorphic hands with 27 degrees of freedom, human-level grip strength and speed, and the most durable artificial muscles in the world. The Hand in this demo is missing middle flexor muscles, but here’s an update on the neural joint controller.

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

Clone (Anastasi In Tech): The Breakthrough Behind the First Human Clone (@clonerobotics)

.@clonerobotics is different. You can feel it. You can see it. I sat down with Co-founder and CEO @dhanushisrad to talk about why that is: „Solving problems no one else is solving.” ▶️ Full convo now on YouTube: youtu.be/BQVLf-65i_M

Took me 2 years to land this one... 🎙️ In this episode, I talk with ⁠@dhanushisrad, Co-Founder and CEO of ⁠@clonerobotics⁠: The company is building lifelike, musculoskeletal androids that move like humans and could become the next personal computing platform. Dhanush shares how watching Iron Man at 13 sparked a lifelong obsession with tech, leading him from plasma thrusters and nuclear fusion research to founding a YC-backed robotics company now making headlines with their human-like androids. We talk about why his first startup didn’t work out (and why Plan A to do B never does), how he met his co-founder on the internet, and why moving to Poland turned out to be one of the best decisions for focus and execution. Clone is going against the grain: from hydraulics to neural net control, from soft-body design to building general-purpose robots from scratch. This convo is packed with vision, hard-earned insights, and a founder who’s not afraid to do things differently. Give it a listen. You’ll see why people are paying attention. @builddeeptech #67 "Doing Plan A to Do B Doesn’t Work" With Dhanush Radhakrishnan⁠ 🎥 YouTube: youtu.be/BQVLf-65i_M 🎧 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/78k… 🎧 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
