Lola a German humanoid robot

The Technical University of Munich (Germany) and the Institute for Autonomous Systems Technology (TAS) have developed a humanoid robot called LOLA. This prototype has required 6 years of work. It can move autonomously indoors thanks to a sophisticated visual recognition system constantly connected to computers and a cable. LOLA was presented at the Hanover Messe 2010 in Germany. The robot can avoid obstacles and people in its way in real time. It is 1.80 m tall (5'10?) and weighs 60 kg (132 lbs). The humanoid has 25 degrees of freedom: 7 in each leg, 3 in each arm, 2 in the waist and 3 in the head. Lola only needs to appear a little more feminine; that will surely be the next step :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjBLT1eNkvk via pp
