The military is a developing a humanoid, Petman, which will test chemical protection clothing for the US Army. Boston Dynamics, famous for its robotic pack mule BigDog, has the responsibility of developing Petman to a level where it can not just walk and stand on its own feet but can even react like humans. When exposed to chemical war agents, the Petman would do a variety of suit-stressing movements by simulating human responses of temperature control, humidity and even sweating (when the need be) within the suit.
