Boston Dynamic's Atlas is progressing pretty quickly... already has a 9 to 5, err, 24/7/365.

"The robot’s unique gripping policy enables it to retain a firm grip by continuously estimating each object’s status for dependable handling. Atlas creates all motions on its own in real-time, without the need for teleoperated or preprogrammed movements.

The robot’s vision, force, and proprioceptive sensors allow it to adjust to changes in its surroundings, including unexpected impediments or moving fixtures. In order to guarantee high job completion rates, it can also recognize and react to action failures, such as improper part placement or collisions."
