I took control of NASA's Valkyrie robot and it blew my mind

James Woodford writing for New Scientist (Apple News):
I tentatively begin to move my limbs and can see the movement reflected in the virtual reality environment. Andrew confirms that the robot, standing a few metres in front of me, is also following suit in the physical world. I move my head, crouch or bend over and so does Valkyrie.
This sounds like something from an action/sci-fi movie.
