Have a look at the ATLAS robot performing parkour ... granted it's Simple parkour, but the balance and coordination are there.

There are 10 types of people in this world .... Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
We get to see those robots acting in a benign manner. Imagine if you wanted to storm a compound and sent a few of them ahead of ground troops. Guns may not even be required.
They look large and heavy right now, but if the humanoid robot ran from a small battery pack it may only require endurance for ten to fifteen minutes to do it's work. The "dog" could just have a machine gun on it's back.
These things are deadly and first assaults of the future will involve kit like this coupled with drones. I think small AI powered drones could take out a compound in very short order.
China is probably the leader in Drone technology. Haven't seen much in terms of robotics but I'm sure they are there.
I wonder who makes the components for the robots that we've seen?
Traditional armed forces are beginning to look very outdated. One day we'll be able to have a conversation with our speakers, things move so fast..
Paul - Your question about who makes these robots, their parts, etc., is probably answered here https://www.bostondynamics.com/about

Not entirely sure it does answer that question.
For a lot of electronic components and electric motors, China is the principle supplier. I have a 3D printer and it like just about every 3D printer I know of uses components that are sourced in China. Very few supply chains are not dependent on China.
Anyway, it's a bit off-topic for your post and verging on the controversial.
We kind of need the world's robots to adhere to the Laws of Robotics as defined by Isacc Asimov.

which implies a level of sentience I would rather they did not have

I feel that very soon, your Cintique will be critiquing your work and offering "helpful" advice.. ..and if you disagree, his friend from Boston Dynamics will be visiting to explain in detail why the Cintique is right. You will not be required to dance at any stage..

here is another but I am not convinced they are robots.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
