Of course I have no idea what's happened since 1984.  It's probably proprietary.

Until that robot can acquire the hockey stick and exercise its mirror neuron, the work must continue!

I am risking citing authorities again.  Marc Raibert left Carnegie Mellon, founded the Leg Lab at MIT, then founded Boston Dynamics.

 

  Raibert, Marc H. and Francis C. Wimberly.

      Tabular Control of Balance in a Dynamic Legged System.

      IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics 14, 1984.

Believe me, it's not possible that anything like that goes on in human nervous systems.

I guess a measure of how life-like it is, is how much you are waiting for the robot to haul off and smack the guy with the hockey stick.  Some kind of mirror neuron thing, maybe.
