The robot was made by Polish company Clone Robotics which is building the android to mimic the movements and strength of a human.
Clone Robotics has looked to mirror the structure of the human body and developed artificial bones and muscles.
The droid has its own thumbs that can rotate and joints resembling a human's through the arms and shoulders.
That copy leaves the robot looking remotely human, with it all covered by a white skin to protect it.

Movement of the joints and muscles is done through a battery-operated system of pumps and valves moving water around the body.
The water is stored in a container in the torso, which has human-like ribs and a spine.
The robot looks somewhat similar to those created in the hit HBO TV show Westworld.
Clone Robotics wants their machines to eventually replace people on the assembly line in factories.

The tech billionaire is due to unleash the humanoids into his Tesla factories next year before they're made available to other companies in 2026.

In footage shared online, the faceless bot, dubbed an "autonomous assistant" or a "humanoid friend" by Tesla, can be seen picking up a parcel at the doorstep.
It then waters plants as the human family it works for enjoys their time together.
People who watched the video were left scared by what they had seen.
