Humanoids on moon by 2020?

 The Japanese government just approved a master plan for the country's space development program. Here is the draft of the master plan. It talks about planning to send robots to the moon by 2020 for exploration, although it doesn't go into any details.

 BUT, insider Sakigawara-san of the Future Robotics Technology Center at  Chiba Institute of Technology says in his blog that the plan is to send biped humanoids up to the moon by 2020 so that they can build a base for exploration. Will humanoids be THAT capable by then?
