It's clear they made this weird on purpose but still, so many questions...

the robot hangs suspended from the ceiling as its limbs twitch and kick, marking what the company claims is a step toward its goal of creating household-helper robots

Oh yeah, definitely a huge step in that direction...

Clone Robotics designed the Protoclone with a polymer skeleton that replicates 206 human bones

That's all of the bones of an human adult. Yeah, I'm sure absolutely all of them were necessary.

Are you trying to imply they gave it a dick? If so they don't have bones in them.

No, it's pretty much only you thinking that. The rest of us were thinking about the 6 tiny bones in the ears only used for hearing or dozens of weird little bones in the wrists and ankles.

Exactly, ear in particular was what I thought about. There are very tiny bones in there. I'm pretty sure they didn't replicate a functional human ear, so those have no impact on anything.

Many bones in the hand and foot are also locked in place together, so modeling each one seems, well, I don't think it's a waste of time, but at this point you're making an art performance.
