We are much closer to deploying what is described as a "humanoid" Atlas robot that is very close to moving in a very observable, human manner. We may in a very short time, be able to down load a human conscious into a mechanical body...Sci-fic you say, heres a look at the Atlas Robot that Boston Dynamics already has up and running. And as for downloading a human consciousness, I would refer you to, the Blue Brain Project. As for our friend Atlas, take a look for yourself.
