Lara ist the first female humanoid robot that is actuated by artifical muscels. She is 130cm tall and she comes with 38 artifical muscles which provides her 6 degress of freedem in each leg and 3 in each arm. The use of muscles instead of servo motors allows a novel robot design. Servor Motors are usually impelmented into the robots joints, in contrast Lara muscles allows generating joint movements without these restrictions by a large variety of user defined points of actuation. Lara is lighter than comparable conventional robots. The weight of the in strength and length scalable muscles is to negelct. Because of this new actuation principle Lara´s movements are unique. The design of Lara is created by a design team of the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach, Germany.
