They could have at least modelled him after Arnie.

Where's Sarah Conner when you need her?

why does it need a chem protection suit? its a robot!
[EDIT]
Quote: "As the company's YouTube description says of the specially equipped PETMAN: "It is used to test the performance of protective clothing designed for hazardous environments... PETMAN has sensors embedded in its skin that detect any chemicals leaking through the suit.""

wait never mind i guess that makes sense... for testing purposes.

I'm sorry, I just watched 3 seconds before accidentally my pants. That's the scariest thing ever, because it's real.

It walks like a nazi zombie, that's pretty cool.

But the site sort of loses credibility when it covers stories like this.

A lot of science sites covered Planet Of The Apes fake trailers as well. It doesn't mean that the science sites aren't being accurate. It just means that they will play along with hype sometimes.

This one got on a lot of science sites...

there is one problem with that robot. Its powered by cables It wont walk too far before its cable ends or its battery pack runs out of power which would be twice as fast because think of how much power this thing already uses and it has to use twice as much battery power to be able to carry it. Our battery technology isnt that good yet.

Still this reminds me of the "Megadoomer Combat Stealth Mech" (designed on planet Vort)

Humans manage to fit a power source in the same space that a robot would have - technology will solve this problem - it's clearly possible!
