The US Army's newest recruit: Scarily lifelike robot created to test military clothing for chemical warfare

The US Army's newest recruit: Scarily lifelike robot created to test military clothing for chemical warfare | Mail Online: "Dressed in a boiler suit and wearing a gas mask the figure strapped to a treadmill, bending and moving in a variety of bizarre poses looks more like something out of a Doctor Who episode than a member of the team at an American military hardware company.

Lifelike: It's almost impossible to believe that there is not a human inside this suit - it is an ultra realistic robot

But when the unusual attire is removed, the figure below the suit is not a human but a specially designed robot capable of carrying out some unsettlingly lifelike moves. Known as PETMAN, this startling realistic robot has been created by Boston Dynamics to test out hazmat suits and a variety of military equipment."
