This is the most realistic Robot known to date but it’s designed and built for the sole purpose of testing protective clothing but c’mon seems lil too far fetched all this money and work to test chemical clothing. lol  DARPA and DoD funded..  One day they will have a fucking terminator, year 2026.

PETMAN is an anthropomorphic robot designed for testing chemical protection clothing. Natural agile movement is essential for
PETMAN to simulate how a soldier stresses protective clothing under realistic conditions.

Unlike previous suit testers that had a limited repertoire of motion and had to be supported mechanically, PETMAN balances itself and moves freely; walking, bending and doing a variety of suit-stressing calisthenics during exposure to chemical warfare agents. PETMAN also simulates human physiology within the protective suit by controlling temperature, humidity and sweating, all to provide realistic test conditions.

The PETMAN system was delivered to the user’s test facility where it is going through validation experiments. Boston Dynamics’ partners for the program are MRIGlobal, Measurement Technologies Northwest, Smith Carter CUH2A (SCC), and HHI Corporation.
