Clone
Clone Robotics develops musculoskeletal, intelligent humanoid androids and robotic hands built on Myofiber, its artificial-muscle technology pioneered in 2021, driven by water-based hydraulics and biomimetic joints. Its flagship Clone Alpha is a full-body biomimetic humanoid with synthetic organs; the Clone Hand is its foundational dexterous-manipulation platform. The developer surface is a first-party Python client (clone_client) exposing a high-level gRPC (proto3) API to directly control the Clone Robot over the local network — actuating muscles via impulses/pulses/pressures, driving pinch and hydra valves, managing the water-pump pressure source, streaming IMU/pose/joint telemetry, and configuring cameras. There is no public HTTP/REST API or hosted endpoint; control is LAN-scoped gRPC discovered over zeroconf/mDNS by robot name or IP. Co-founded 2021 by Dhanush Radhakrishna and Lukasz Kozlik.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Clone the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Clone scores 14.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 8/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Clone
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Clone. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 1
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Clone Robot Control API
High-level gRPC (proto3) API to directly control the Clone Robot — muscle actuation (impulses/pulses/pressures), pinch/hydra valve control, water-pump pressure source, telemetry...
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
