Boston Dynamics is developing a new anthropomorphic robot, PETMAN, for the purpose of testing chemical protection clothing for the Army. To fulfill its duty completely, the human-size robot will be capable of "a variety of suit-stressing calisthenics," including heel-toe walking, crawling, and even sweating. Boston Dynamics expects to deliver the robot in 2011, and is partnering with Midwest Research Institute (MRI), Measurement Technology Northwest, Smith Carter CUH2A (SCC) and HHI Corporation on the project.
