If you watch the video it hops over a log, then jumps up a few fairly tall boxes.
While this is technically impressive, it's a long way from Ninja or parkour. It didn't jump ON the log and balance - just over. Nor did it do anything complex like jump against the side of one of the boxes and land flat, maybe after rolling... you didn't even see it jump down from the highest box and do a roll landing on the floor. So basically, not at all what anyone would call parkour...
I wish people would stop building things that are going to wind up being used to control or kill us all.
Depressingly unlikely. At first, they will be heralded as important for dirty jobs no human wants to do: rescue operations in hazardous conditions like natural disasters or nuclear malfunctions.
Once the battery/power problem is solved, these machines will be misused... it's a facet of human nature.

It's definitely coming for that lab assistant who kept knocking it over with the ball first.
The future of American policing will be robots that follow suspects until they can be identified.
In the future, you will face robots moving at 30 mph through pedestrian traffic to tail you on foot.
They will listen in to all conversation for politically incorrect thought.
They may even sniff out illicit substances and chase down the users.
Is this "freedom"? We'd better get our act together before then.
