Those crazies are at it still they want to make this
This will be chasing your down as you run in fear.
The CHEETAH robot will have four legs, a flexible spine, an articulated head/neck, and possibly a tail.
It will run fast: faster than any existing legged robot and faster than the fastest human runners. In
addition to top speed, the CHEETAH robot will be designed to make tight turns so it can zigzag to chase
or evade, and it will accelerate rapidly, starting and stopping on a dime. Like ATLAS, it will leverage
the advanced control software and high-tech mechanical and electrical systems that Boston Dynamics
created for previous robots, such as BigDog, PETMAN and others
“Unlike Honda’s Asimo and most other humanoid robots you’ve seen, ATLAS will walk like a
man, using a heal-to-toe walking motion, long strides and dynamic transfer of weight on each
step,” explains Rob Playter, the ATLAS principal investigator and VP of Engineering at Boston
Dynamics. “We have already achieved some advanced behavior in PETMAN, an
anthropomorphic robot we developed for the Army, so ATLAS can get a let up on the problem
by leveraging the PETMAN results.”

That's what it looks like .Pleasurebot 1.0 is on it's way!What's creepier is that they are trying to make something talk with a fully analog , synthetic , functional set of vocal chords, nasal cavity and throat/mouth muscles.It's hardly sounding human right now, but imagine how creepy that'll be when they manage to get it pronouncing things!
