>>30961 > I designed SMD parts based motor controllers and have begun fabrication of the controllers and prototyping. By making the controllers myself I would be tremendously interested in how you interface microcontrollers with MOSFET's if that is what you are doing or what you are doing. I have a post, somewhere, found it, >>24944 One of the problems with MOSFETs is that they create a lot of heat and fail if you do not drive them hard to turn them on. Partial activation causes heat as they never each their designed low resistance. So you have to drive the gate with high voltage to guard against that. The link shows a part designed especially for that. I would be interested in how you deal with the back EMF when you turn the MOSFET off and the energy stored in the coil changes direction. There could be a lot of heat from this as you are collapsing the field and making an equal and opposite voltage that, I guess, just goes through a resistor. But surely there's a better way.

>>30965 That is VERY cool. I wonder what type of soldier and flux did you use? I've never done any SMD soldiering before. Do you have some sort of paste with pre-combined flux, then use a air heat gun? How did you strip the insulation off the cable while keeping it aligned and cables separated?

>>31007 Thanks for the greeting and well wishes Chobitsu. Yes I have read the entire forum from its inception till now aside from most of the AI threads since I feel I have a handle on that part and don't want much outside input affecting my novel approaches to the AI as that is a big evolving set of challenges and everyone using the same approaches will stifle creative solutions IMO. Also yes I am using C++ for the AI although I don't like to use functions or classes or object oriented programming so I'm not using the language in the traditional ways much. I also am pretty much going with "good old fashioned AI" approach but with learning enabled and the robot will have its own coding language where he codes himself in a interpreted coding language using a realtime interpretter to run its own scripting in realtime. All of this I just came up with on my own - I don't know if anybody else is doing this. I don't like neural networks or deep learning or any of the modern approaches to AI at all. It's convoluted and designed for computers I don't own. I chucked it all out and started from scratch going my own way. And I have a plan I am excited about for how to do it all and I think it will work and learn well and hopefully do all I imagine it doing and more. >>31030 Thanks for your interest and feedback. You bring up some good points. Most people use a mosfet driver IC to turn on a mosfet with their microcontroller. I intend to use a logic level mosfet to switch on a mosfet power supply to turn on the main high power mosfets. So a baby mosfet to switch on a big mosfet. The baby mosfet is the middle man that can be switched on by the 5v pin of the microcontroller. It's called a logic level mosfet because a microcontroller is able to switch it fully on despite only bringing it 5v. Non-logic level mosfets require like 12-20v to switch fully on which a microcontroller cannot supply directly. So it has to be supplied indirectly. As far as the back emf, for disposing of that safely, you use a flyback diode. That's why there are 6 diodes in motor controller designs always. A capacitor is also able to help absorb some of this too I believe. I am going to attach my diagram and schematics with notes on brushless motor controller electrical design to this post which can help someone. It's a huge file though. I learned most of what I know about this stuff from electronoobs on youtube who has like 6-7 videos on making arduino based motor controllers for brushless dc motors including his schematics and all his code and explanations of how it all works. This helped me plus googling schematics on google image search and studying those and also watching videos on how brushless dc motors and motor controllers work and also discussing all of this with chatgpt for hours asking every question I could think of until I understood everything I could. Yet despite all of this, my approach is still experimental and I have to verify it by prototype and testing still. I have 2 prototypes 99% done and will be testing shortly. Once i verify my prototypes, I will make like 50 of these motor controllers soldering daily for hours. Can't wait! If my approach fails, I can troubleshoot etc but if all else fails, I'll go with mosfet driver ICs and modify my design to accommodate this tweak. This would up the cost though. In any case, my design is EXTREMELY low cost and scales to the biggest motors a humanoid will need. The high power mosfets can handle like 300 amps! The parts I am using including model numbers are included on the attached schematic. I also will put out videos covering how to make these and going in depth explaining how it all works and whatnot.

>>31031 I'm glad you liked this. I thought it was very cool myself. It will enable the creation of the smallest microcontrollers physically possible IMO. Miniaturization is everything for me to fit everything I need to fit in the cramped spaces in my complex robot design. It is actually pretty easy to solder flat flex ribbon cable directly to the microcontroller IC chip once you get the hang of it (but you must wear a visor magnifier to zoom in on it visually as this is tiny tiny detailed work). To do it, you first lay down the ribbon cable and masking tape it down securely, then lay the chip on top and masking tape it down securely onto protoboard so everything is pinned and your hands are free. Then apply low temp solder paste to each pin one at a time with the tip of a exacto knife blade. Just enough paste per pin for that solder joint, not any excess. Then solder one pin at a time by putting a clean soldering iron tip into the little blob of low temp solder paste and dragging the tip away from the microcontroller carefully. You can't hold it on there long, have to just press it in and then slowly drag away and it happens almost instantly. Too much holding it in place creates too much heat which then melts the ribbon cable and the molten cable flows into the solder joint and can ruin the joint by introducing molten plastic into the molten metal. So you have to get in and get out fairly quickly. You also cannot do drag soldering tradition method on all pins as that creates too much heat and melts the ribbon cable. That works on fiberglass boards that don't melt, but a ribbon cable will melt if too much heat gets involved and ruins everything. You also can't use hot air which would melt the ribbon cable before the solder melts - ruining it. So you have to just do one solder job of one pin at a time. I'll do a video on the process and you can see that with the right temp soldering iron (I think I used 500F) and right speed of execution and a bit of practice, you can make the solder joints one at a time without melting the cable at all. The cable you use has to be the same pitch as the thread pitch of the pins so the conduit traces perfectly line up with the pins of the microcontroller. >>31031 The ribbon cable comes pre-stripped on the ends so you don't have to strip off the insulation at all necessarily. You just lay it flat and tape it down and put the IC onto it and it lines up perfectly if the cable has the same pitch as the IC threads. But if you mess up and want to cut the ribbon cable and strip the ends and try again (which I had to do before I perfected my techniques and got the hang of this) then you can do so. Just cut it with scissors and then use a nail file to sand the tips insulation off until some metal starts showing through in some spots, Once you see a bit of metal start to show through, you know it is so thin that you can just scrape off the rest of the insulation with an exacto knife so then you just scratch off the rest with the exacto knife. This too takes some practice and the right touch. When I go to connect the other ends of the ribbon cable to various components and sensors and whatnot, I'll have to make custom lengths for each individual cable strand so for this I will have to separate the strands by cutting them lengthwise with scissors to split them away from the others, isolating each one and then will have to strip off the insulation of each one so it can be soldered to things. The same method as described above will be used for this. Note that for cutting them lengthwise, that is a very precision cut you need. I use titanium straight embroidery scissors for this and of course, as with all the other SMD stuff, I use 8x or 10x or 20x magnification with my visor. This magnification is a absolute must to have any shot at success with any of this imo. Miniaturization is hard to get used to at first, but once you get used to magnification and the eye hand coordination challenges this presents at first, your skill with your hands and precision goes through the roof as the magnification makes you so precise with everything. It's really fun and amazing to see what your hands can achieve with enough magnification and practice!

>>31032 edit: the schematic shown above employs a non-smd style mosfet as the main power mosfet which is decent but I found a smaller mosfet that is even better. The superior smaller mosfet is the IRLR7843PBF n-channel mosfet. It is to-252 and 161A continuous drain current and can handle 620a pulsed drain current. It's super small and flat and a very powerful selection. Sometimes I make little discoveries of better selections and forget to update all my notes that may cover that as was the case here. I only recently found out about to-252 form factor mosfets and fell in love with them immediately. They are so much smaller than to-220 mosfets which is a big upgrade given my space constraints.

>>20283 Veramente uno dei pochi modelli che spiega completamente il comportamento dell'Occidente è che i sovietici, o meglio i globalisti che hanno le mani in pasta dappertutto da un paio di secoli ormai, abbiano finto di collassare e abbiano iniziato a usare gli asset comunisti per infiltrare e portare l'occidente alla rovina dall'interno. Pic related non si spiega con un'america che vuole ancora comandare il mondo.

>>20289 E per sottolineare la continuità con i sovietici vi ricordo che il cuoco di Lenin e Stalin (quello che rischiava la vita ogni giorno se Stalin avesse avuto il minimo sospetto su di lui) di cognome faceva Putin ed era il nonno di Vladimir.

>>20291 Intanto Trump ha fatto delle robe tipo chiedere a zelensky di indagare sugli affari ucraini dei biden che lo fanno sembrare la variabile fuori posto. Anche la collusione coi russi si è rivelata bufala. Detto questo, lo schema è: i Dem giocano a fare il poliziotto cattivo. Se vincono tanto meglio. Se no arriva Trump poliziotto buono che fa triumvirato con Vlad e con Xi e tutti vissero felici e contenti. Problema reazione soluzione,

>>24712 Then again if the waifu are to be done in bulk casting is still the better approach though.

>>24712 I think this approach may in fact serve us very well for a robowaifu's face, boobas, and vagoo. Good luck with your research! :^)

I was looking for the link on using optical fibers linked to camera chips for sensors (this is one of the greatest ideas in history). The link for using cameras and fiber for sensors is, https://hackaday.com/2019/08/30/fibergrid-an-inexpensive-optical-sensor-framework/ While looking for this I found a new link that really fits in well with the other that I had not seen. This one, https://hackaday.com/2011/10/21/building-optical-flex-sensors/ A little thought and you will see this guy has figured out a way to make very good touch/pressure sensors that could be waterproof, reliable, self contained and if you combine this with the first, cameras used to sense the values of light back from sensors, now you have a complete sensor package. You can use optical encoders fed by fiber(light) for motion and use this second idea for pressure, touch, sensing and with the first, cameras for sensing, you have the whole thing in one nice package. If the touch sensors are in a X-Y grid you have position sensing, which could be combined with the light attenuation to give touch pressure values with point locality. Since cameras these days have huge values you could have a very precise position location sensing. And the whole thing in a waifu could be self calibrating. So you plug all these fibers and/or sensors into a package. The waifu bends it's limbs in sequence under control while monitoring the feedback from the sensors. After it calibrated what joints go to which pixels on the camera it starts squeezing it's body parts and calibrates the amount of squeeze with pressure and calibrates which pixels and by how much they change. The whole done in a few minutes. Could even do so periodically to make sure calibration is correct with wear. Now the trick is to get away from fiber. Stringing together all these fibers is labor intensive. The second link shows a path to this. In it he has a hollow tube with a filler. What if you made a trough for one side of a skin section and on the other side a hill that fits into the trough? The outsides would be a dark rubber. So you flex it and the light hits the dark rubber and is absorbed as opposed to going straight through the thin film which is clear that you made the trough and hill out of. When I say film I'm saying you make this structure, like a big flexible nervous system out of a cast plastic. Possibly cast the clear interior then spay over, paint or cast the exterior dark surface. I suspect that there will be some trickery and art involved in making this film, trough and hill structure to get the maximum sensitivity without blocking the light all together. You would have to separate the joint bending light attenuation from the pressure/touch sensing light attenuation. I suppose you could bend, then pressure test, touch calibration. Since it knows it's bending joints and knows this value then any further attenuation of light would be assumed to be touch. Every since I heard about the camera fiber sensor idea I've been trying to think of a way to make this THE method of sensing for all facets of the robowaifu I think, "this is the way", though I have no doubt there are lots of niggling bugaboos that could cause trouble. But once you could get some small section worked out and function properly then it's only a matter of multiplying that small section onto the whole of the waifu.

>>30980 Thanks! Great content, Grommet. Cheers. :^)

Found an article that talks about different kinds of touch and it links to papers on artificial nociceptors (feel pain ) and an artificial nervous system to react to pain. I once read someone talk about how it is important for any robot to feel pain because if they cant they will be unable to empathize with human pain. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-022-00496-2 And here is a paper mentioning a magnetic field sensing method for pressure and i assume texture sensing https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.aat0429

>VoiceCraft >>30614 Thanks, but it's about voice cloning again. I think what I really want are artificial voices which don't belong to anyone. Cloning has it's use cases as well, but I don't need or want it for a robot wife. Also I don't need to be to close to a human. To me the quality problem is a solved problem at this point, at least for robowaifus. I was very impressed certainly by the singing capabilities I saw and heard recently, see above >>30390

>>30625 If you aren't worried about human closeness there is a pretty simple TTS that sounds like old retro synthesized voices. Unfortunately I cant find a video that has the female voice. https://github.com/adafruit/Talkie

>>30657 Thanks, but I didn't mean to go so extreme into the other direction. I just meant for our use case here, and in my opinion, the current state of the technology should be sufficient in terms of quality or it's at least close to it. Making it faster and run better on smaller devices would be good, though. For content creation it's another story, if we don't want to only have stories about robots.

I figure this might be the best place for this. I found a paper on lip syncing synthesized voices.

>>30512 This. I need to secure the servos and find the optimal height to get the maximum tilt range.

With spring(ish) weather comes more time spent on my heavy-duty robotics, so not much robowaifu progress (unless your robowaifu needs a 1350lb servo). When it gets a bit warmer I'll be trying out the silicone I bought. Sometimes stepping back from a project and working on a second project can lead to ideas about the first project: I figured a good compromise for the next iteration of the face would be a hybrid of a physical face and screen face: make the eyes physically motorized like kami-chan here, but cut out holes for the iris and stick a smol lcd screen behind them. That way even when the screens are off and eyes are open it still looks kinda cartoony and cute. I did get some full-color e-ink screens for a laugh, however it takes 30 seconds of screen flashing to change a picture. Not very good for robowaifus. Good for nametags and signs tho.

Super-stoked seeing all the great progress continuing, Mechnomancer. Also, the new balljoints look really cool. >>30405 >but can do so 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 . Perfect!

Hello, its been a while. Since springtime has arrived I've been busy with other stuff, but I finally managed to get around to installing the new neck. Need to re-print some pieces though before I can do a powered test but I got a general idea for proportions. Neck seems a bit long so when I redesign the skull I'll try to shift the entire face downwards. Thinking about going for a more robot-y head (a la medabots or drossel) to avoid the uncanny valley while I work on a more intricate (perhaps rubber) face. The head is attached on by 3 screws so swapping heads will be relatively easy (might need to make a custom connector for the i2c and face servos or just put a 3rd servo board in the head). Remember, SPUD wuvs you ^3^

>>31022 Hi Mechnomancer! Very glad to hear from you again and all that's been happening with SPUD. The neck looks nice! I think it's a very good idea at this point in time (and likely so for the next decade) for all of us to not try to make faces look too realistic, but instead make our waifus 'robot-y'. Good call. Cheers, Anon. :^)

A NEW VERSION OF BJARNE STROUSTRUP'S FRESHMAN TEXTBOOK HAS JUST DROPPED! [1] This is really encouraging to me r/n, Anons. It was such a long delay for this update, that I had finally given in and figured that Bjarne was too tired to focus on education for the language any longer thus my own feeble attempts to take up that mantle, such as they are. :^) BUT NO. He fooled me, heh. :D PPP3 is out now (already have my ebook, and the print copy is on the way lol), and there are a couple of big changes: * The book has been cut basically in half! About a dozen PPP2 chapters were removed for this edition, and are now freely available on the book's site for download as .pdf files. * The underlying graphics library is no longer based on FLTK, but on QT. This is a significant change for those 5 chapters, I expect (I'll let you know). Lots of ppl had trouble getting FLTK working properly on their machines -- and QT has slick, pre-built installers for many platforms -- so this will likely be a benefit for most Anons learning this most important language to us, through this textbook. SO... Since I was basing this entire class on PPP2, I'll now have to rethink where we're going with it. Very likely I'll lock this thread and the textbook thread permanantly -- and redo the entire thing for PPP3. :^) This will also include the rentry copy of the work. So this means a LOT of additional, new work on my part that I hadn't planned for this year. So, for now, and until further notice, this class is cancelled. I imagine I may be able to pick it back up during the upcoming Winter semester with the new content, but maybe it'll have to be a year from now instead, Lord willing (I currently have a lot on my plate already). Also, I'm not sure how to manage it here on /robowaifu/ now that I myself can't even post files here any longer lol. Maybe we'll put it on Trash instead? Regardless, this is very good news for /robowaifu/ and other Anons. We're going to need probably at least a dozen Anons skilled in programming with C++ here, to pull off our good opensauce robowaifu's 'minds'. Anything that makes learning this powerful systems-programming language easier is quite helpful in this regard. Man, what a great timeline -- this is encouraging! Cheers, /robowaifu/ . :^) ---

I believe that's just called 'clickbait', isn't it Anon? :^) >I have never in the wild seen anyone care beyond just feeling sorry someone feels that lonely. Then I think it likely you haven't broached this topic clearly, with any women who consider themselves still to have SMV (today that's probably even up to 50yo+ grannies, lol). Or with a hard-core Leftist/Filthy-Commie. They -- all of them -- hate the very idea itself. Most of the ones I've engaged with in any way also threaten physical violence against robowaifus if/when they ever see one. We'll see how that all works out for them. :^) The Filthy Commies go one step further and threaten physical attack against robowaifu owners too since that's how Filthy Commies behave, after all (think: Pantyfags, F*men, etc.) -- under the bribery directives of their Globohomo puppetmasters, ofc. LOL. Heh, we all need to look up Stickman (is he out yet?) and give him a complementary Model A robowaifu! :^) Blacks just destroy things simply b/c they're blacks, by all appearances. They also will be involved with this violence to be directed against robowaifus/owners; but mindlessly, not for the agenda-driven motives of the first two groups mentioned here. Once they see the GH media glorifying physical attacks against robowaifus, I'm sure they'll be all-in with it for a while, too. (And -- like these other Leftists -- they too have their paid rabble-rousers [cf. the paper-hangin', pregnant-woman-abusin', multi-feloner Fentanyl Floyd's overdose-death's -- mostly-peaceful, mind you -- Burn Loot Murder 'honorarium' """protests""", et al]). All this type of clickbait (cf. >>30975, et al) is literally just GH predictive-programming attempting to prepare the masses for violence, come the day. TOP KEK! May the stones that they are preparing to roll down on us, all roll back upon their own heads instead, in Jesus' name!! [1] :DD Make no mistake: this is a broad cultural war already going on within our so-called """society""" of today. Robowaifus will amp that up to 12. I'm sure /cow/ and their ilk will be delighted, once the time is ripe. So get your popcorn ready, kids! :D >t. Noooticer. :^)

I keep having fantasies of my robot wife while we listen to edm. Anyone have an idea how we can make a robot enjoy music? My current idea is a stream of consciousness (one frame every 0.1 sec) that gets put through a liquid time constant rnn or equivalent trained on emotion and music. There's some github repos I can get started using if no one else has a better idea.

>>30992 How do you "train"on emotion? Do you mean you pick a specific genre, say EDM, then assign a positive weight to it, and assign negative values to other genres? Like in RL? So, you're gf will say positive things when hearing EDM ?

>>30993 Assign a value to of -10 to +10. Let sensory information dictate that value. >positive weight to it, and assign negative values to other genres? If you force someone to like something, do they really like it? Emotions are influenced by hormones for humans which, when represented in pure data, would be numeric noise for a robot. Ask yourself, "Who are you with when you're listening to the music, what did you eat before you listened to the music, what kind of place are you listening to the music in?". There's lots of background information that your brain processes on top of the hormones it releases to color the world with emotion. All those factors contribute to the overall enjoyment of music and how you feel about it when you hear it. I got my dick sucked while listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL1BDku3GLM, I'd heard the song before but it hit a little different to me after that experience and whenever I hear it now, an emotion (along with a memory tied to that emotion) resonates with me. I don't think a robot can enjoy music the same way a human can, not without a very sophisticated brain than what we currently have available. At best, it could mimic a human's emotions if they saw the human was enjoying music. If you just want the robot to say "I enjoy electronic funk", that's easy enough to write into its definitions/personality.

>>30992 >>30993 >>30998 May I introduce you Anons to Snowball, the dancing cockatoo? I'm sure his little birb-brain is quite smol compared to a human's, yet as a Nephesh creature (like all birbs), he is capable of emotions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7IZmRnAo6s >=== -minor edit

I could also prune a few layers of the model, quantize it to 4-bits and implement mixture of depths https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.02258 but that will only give a tiny speed up and I don't want the accuracy to drop further than it is. With the much smaller model size though I could convert it into a sparse-mixture-of-experts model https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.04088 with 16 experts to make up for the loss in accuracy without sacrificing speed. The model will eventually be finetuned with self-rewarding ORPO too, hopefully providing a boost in usefulness to overcome its barebone compute, although I'll likely use Llama3-70b to bootstrap the reward labels until its capable of consistently self-improving on its own. Odds ratio preference optimization (ORPO): https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07691 Self-rewarding LMs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.10020 The T5 efficient model worked fine with a hidden dimension size 512 after finetuning: https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10686 And Matryoshka representation learning also worked well using a 16-dimension embedding for a 1k-class classification task. I forget the paper but I remember reading one years ago where they found some layers in transformers are only making a decision between a few choices, so a large hidden size might not be necessary in those cases. To convert the model's hidden states to Matryoshka I plan to add importance biases to parameters and train the biases with the rest of the parameters frozen and then take the softmax over them and top-k. After training, the parameters could be sorted and the importance biases pruned, and then the model parameters could be finetuned. I may have to train an even smaller model from scratch though since TinyLlama uses 32 attention heads.

>>31006 >use Matryoshka representation learning to reduce the hidden dimension size dynamically This seems both interesting & promising, Anon. Good luck with your research. Cheers. :^)

>>30894 >>30899 > Congratulations. Thank you, both. As a home and mortgage owner, I am now officially another normie cog in the machine! Lots of work already done, lots for me still to do in the near future! Speaking of cogs in machines; the main design problem with the Elfdroid arms was my choice of servo horn. The round ones (even aluminum) are no good for a joint that supports a lot of weight and must move back-and-forth repeatedly. Those round servo horns are only held onto the servo output shaft by little gear-teeth and/or a small grub-screw. This will wear a groove into the output shaft afer only a few dozen limb movements. Meaning the servo horn will begin to slip on the shaft, resulting in huge errors of movement in the robot's limb (no matter how well-programmed the servos). If this problem is ignored for long enough, the robot's limb will eventually detach mid-movement, often yanking out wires and bending electronic pins in the process. For any joint under heavy load, I highly recommend using the best R/C car-type aluminum servo horns that you can find. I used a couple of these in Sophie's neck joints and they eliminate the servo output shaft wear/slippage problem entirely. Of course, they are far more expensive, precision-machined components, but that's part-and-parcel of any serious robotics project (as I learned when reading about backlash and harmonic drives). Thought I should leave the main design + build error that I made here at the end, just in case anyone else ever tries building Elfdroid arms or wants to edit the CAD files.

via >30501 >This article demonstrates a two-step method to 3D print double network hydrogels at room temperature with a low-cost ($300) 3D printer. A first network precursor solution was made 3D printable via extrusion from a nozzle by adding a layered silicate to make it shear-thinning. After printing and UV-curing, objects were soaked in a second network precursor solution and UV-cured again to create interpenetrating networks of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate) and polyacrylamide. By varying the ratio of polyacrylamide to cross-linker, the trade-off between stiffness and maximum elongation of the gel can be tuned to yield a compression strength and elastic modulus of 61.9 and 0.44 MPa, respectively, values that are greater than those reported for bovine cartilage. The maximum compressive (93.5 MPa) and tensile (1.4 MPa) strengths of the gel are twice that of previous 3D printed gels, and the gel does not deform after it is soaked in water. By 3D printing a synthetic meniscus from an X-ray computed tomography image of an anatomical model, we demonstrate the potential to customize hydrogel implants based on 3D images of a patient’s anatomy. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.7b00094

I found what might be an excellent low cost resource. Used or refurbished 3D printers on ebay. I found by accident looking for 3D stuff on ebay. Creality has their own ebay store where they sell refurbished printers. The bad part, Creality's quality control sucks, bad. These are printers someone has already returned and while they say they refurbish them, some appear for the bad reviews to be thrown in the same box and shipped out again. So why bother? The VERY important point is because they are refurbished ebay, allstate insurance has a two year warranty on these things. They also tend to be slightly over or around half the cost. Still you might say that's a bad deal but if look at the reviews on Amazon the negatives tend to be Exactly the same percentage as they are on the returned, refurbished printers. So you're really not taking much if any more risk and you're getting a much better warranty. Another way to think of it that for any part that may be bad you could upgrade to a far better one, make sure everything works and still be out less money than the one bought new from Amazon, while taking no more numerical risk of getting a bad one. Now it would be nice to have the funds to buy a perfect printer but to get a really good one you're talking $500 or higher. Base model ender 3's you can get for around $100 used. I like the ender 3 V3 SE. I like the dual screws on the "Y" and "Z" axis. This gives you a great platform for stability and the direct drive extruder is far better as opposed to boden cables. Boden cables are likely to be a problem if you speed it up to go faster. The cable friction causes problems though at low speeds it's perfectly fine. SE, not the fastest, but I think you could add parts over time and make it better and better. Creality is not the best but they have so many sold there's a pile of hardware and software add-ons. So over time you could make it what you wanted while cheaply getting into it.

>>30917 Interesting idea. Thanks, Grommet! Cheers. :^)

Less than an hour til release. Is there any hope it will be good?

>>9783 No. Go buy the first. If you already own it, go play it again. Story was fucking terrible and the map had that fucked old mmo geometry, reminded me of white knight chronicles. The only good thing was the gameplay and the gameplay loop (really solid), and the pawn builder. Can't imagine they improved the story any and they nerfed the character creator, so you better hope that playloop is tasty enough for your $80.

>>30838 Its more about giving people insight into how far along we are. I dont think a lot of people realise how close we can get with the AI side of things. If more people know its more hands on deck

>>30907 its also really simple to program if you want to play around with it, its how sqrt() is done when the cpu doesnt have a math chip void main() { float guess = 13; float ans = guess; // newtons method formula = x - f(x)/`f(x) // using f(x)= 3x^3 + 5x^2 - 3x - 2 // `f(x)= 9x^2 + 10x - 3 for ( int i=0; i<50; i++ ) { float fx = 3*(ans*ans*ans) + 5*(ans*ans) - 3*ans - 2; float dfx = 9*(ans*ans) + 18*ans - 3; float guess = ans - (fx / dfx); if ( guess == ans )

>>30102 >Update LidaPy seems nice, but it too is in a EoL programming language, python2. My only option at this point is to see if anyone can refactor it to python3 or just use very old software to test it. I'm feeling like it might be best to DIY something on a newer platform that follows the lida framework. The LIDA tutorial even repeatedly states: "The Framework constitutes one, but not the only, way of implementing the Model.", like they want you to make a new implementation. Before I go ahead with any work, it's always important to remember to check who owns the rights to any IP. I would be a research associate at a university if it weren't for IP rights, and I've pondered going to memphis to develop LIDA if I would have the right to use it in my bot commerically. I'll post an update if there's any progress.

I hope you can succeed with your LIDA research. Cheers. :^)

Potentially useful, potentially ontopic thread on 4cuck/sci/ I was there looking around for the linked thread from our Propaganda thread lol. https://boards.4chan.org/sci/thread/16087430#p16087430

>>30840 Python2 can still be installed. Also with installers like Nix you should be able to install old versions of Java.

>>30863 I looked into it and found that it is not recommended to install Python2 anymore. You can install PyPy or IronPython instead. There seem to also be some other long term support options. I don't know which Java it needs, but JRE8 seems to be in the Nix repo. You can install and run software exclusive to the nix-shell. But I'm new to this myself. I might be able to help a little bit. I also looked a bit into Lida itself and it looks like something how I would've imagined it. I might going to try it out at some point, and when I start to implement something myself I might look use it as a resource. I will most likely learn Elixir while doing it, at least for the any part which is not about number crunching.

>>784 I think that French lentils are best. They retain shape when cooked, and have a pleasant peppery, earthy flavor. When pandemic was starting, everyone was going for rice and pasta, but lentils were almost untouched, despite keeping just as well and being far more nutritious. I stacked up on them and have been slowly making my way through the excess. Usually I cook up a batch and eat them over few days. When cooking I add mirepoix, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. If I happen to have some homemade stock or bouillon cube I add it too. My go to uses are: >Bowl of lentils topped with herbs or fresh green vegetables >As a side for meat instead of starches like potatoes or rice >To thicken and enrich stews, good to add protein and more flavor to a "vegan chilli" for example >Cold in salads >Cooked until they turn into a creamy soup My go to recipe is a lentil salad. All you need are pre-cooked lentils, carrots, celery, onion, mustard, olive oil, and lemon. All of these ingredients keep well and most people have them on hand. I use one cup of vegetables per two cups of lentils. Fresh herbs are very good to top the salad; parsley or chives work best in my opinion, but scallions work well too. For fat, goat cheese is my favorite here, but fresh mozzarella, avocado, or even an extra potion of olive oil will work well too. Recipe is simple: >Dice carrots, celery, onion. You can saute them a bit, but that's optional. >Mix vegetables in a bowl with precooked lentils. >Mix in a table spoon of mustard and a tablespoon of olive oil >Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste, mix it

>>784 Roast some cut down carrots, put the lentils in, with water, you may add add some laurel leafs, let it cook at some decent heat. While waiting roast some onion in a pan, add some flour when then onions are already dark, wait till the flour is golden or brown and add this to the lentils. Of course stir it from time to time so it wont glue on the ground, scratch a bit around there. Put some salt and black pepper in, maybe a bit Muscat powder. You may experiment with some additional spices, a bit chilly is also nice. Also add some sausages (e.g. German hotdog like "Saitenwürste"), maybe cut them in a little, let it boil on low heat for a while. The sausages need to exchange some flavor with the rest but don't really need to be cooked so add them rather late. Tomato sauce makes it a bit fruity, that's the more Italian than (South)-German variant, in that case you don't need the rosted flour above, and it may fit better without the sausages. I sometimes also added other vegetables, especially green or red pepper. Also need some pasta. For the fully German variant it would be pasta with eggs and rather mushy instead al dente. But works with other pasta as well. Mix it on the plate and add some vinegar (also for better digestion). You can of course also cook it with some meat that may be smoked or already cooked, amd it needs to gets soft when cooked so you won't end up with the something like rubber. Or replace the pasta with potatoes.

Oh hey /ck/ >Made some baked chicken thighs and onions with rice made from the liquid. It's not perfect but I thought of you >OH HEY ITS ROYAL RUMBLE Starts in an hour Smug/wooo/18702

When I cook lentils I make them into lentil and rice stew. Mince a large onion or a few bundles of green onions, and several jalapeno peppers, a red bell pepper, and an entire bulb of garlic. Saute them in butter, coconut oil, bacon grease, or whatever is available to you. I sometimes add half a pound or a pound of sliced deli ham, minced, or about a pound of lean ground beef, chicken, et cetera, but this is optional. Saute it all until the onions begin to caramelize. You can get the meat to begin to brown a bit too, but cooking all the meat all the way through isn't necessary at this stage. Deglaze the pan and get everything into a large kettle with a gallon of water. Bring the water and onion mixture to a boil. At this point additional seasonings would be good. A tablespoon each of salt and pepper, and a bay leaf, are a good start, but this is very personal. Just keep in mind that it's a big batch and a lot of stuff to season. If you like bouillon cubes then we're talking about anywhere from ten to twenty, for example, for this much liquid, depending on your preferences. Get it all boiling. While you're waiting for it to boil, pour in a can of mixed vegetables, to give it a bit more color and texture. When it's all boiling, add one pound of washed lentils and one pound of brown rice. Bring it all back to a boil. Keep stirring it. The lentils in particular are prone to going to the bottom in a dense sticky mass that won't cook properly if you don't keep them moving. When it is all back at a rolling boil and the lentils are circulating and not in a glob at the bottom of the pan, I like to add one of those small cans of tomato paste. Break it up and mix it in with a wire whisk, don't just plop it in there. Get it mixed more or less uniform. Now put a cover on that kettle and put it in the oven at about 275 F. Or 135 Celsius, if you prefer. Let it all simmer for a few hours. It will lose a fair amount of water and the liquid level will drop, but that's okay. Stir it before serving with oyster crackers.

I'd err more on the pragmatic side. Make the bot as big as it needs to be to accommodate the necessary internal components to facilitate locomotion. I think the happy medium of size and functionality is around 5 feet tall. I would imagine it would utilize child-like proportions, not to emulate kids but because it'd be cheaper and easier to perform maintenance on a bot with a smaller frame. It'd also be easier to store since it'd take up less space. It doesn't matter if the limb length or hip width is slightly exaggerated if it's for the sake of accommodating a bot's ability to navigate and interact with its environment. As far as the issue of "child sex" doll aspect, I'd simply have the external body looking more mechanical aesthetically.

I was looking for a software that would help a AI to sort known people into categories based on traits, including psychological traits. Something like a pattern for personas. Anyways, I found something else instead, which would be useful to test a robowaifu and get ideas about how to design her AI: >PsyToolkit’s experiment library https://www.psytoolkit.org/experiment-library/

>>30862 Thanks NoidoDev! I'm quite skeptical of """modern""" Psychological so-called 'Science', personally. Do you think this will be as valuable in designing AI as simple field-tests with volunteer Anons would be? One of the brilliant '12 principles of Animation' [1] is character appeal [2][3]. Arguably, focusing instead on the concrete 'deliverables' of this list (insofar as each might pertain directly to real-world robowaifus) is a more-tractable general approach for us all IMO -- including the development of her AI. Also, it seems to me that as long as we get that one right (character appeal), we'll all be golden at producing great opensource robowaifus -- and with much less 'hemming and hawing' along the way. Any ideas about my points, Anon? --- 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4 2. https://www.animationmentor.com/blog/appeal-the-12-basic-principles-of-animation/ 3. This concept also has strong ties to the Greek concept of Ethos. >=== -fmt, prose edit

>>30864 > I'm quite skeptical of """modern""" Psychological so-called 'Science', personally. That might be somewhat justified but I would throw the child out with the bathwater. Any way of describing a personality should be considered worth contemplating in regards to configuration of the RW personality, but also to think about which topics need to be covered when it comes to work on the AI. Then tests can be used to see if she can have certain skills and traits. On the other hand, understanding people by having some framework should also be useful at some point. > Animation' [1] is character appeal [2][3] Sorry, but this isn't the topic. This is about looks, I was arguing about personality or psychological traits.

>>30866 >that might be somewhat justified but I would[n't] throw the child out with the bathwater. Fair enough. Certainly it's good to devise some type of metrics for robowaifu performance analysis -- including her cognitive functions ofc. >Sorry, but this isn't the topic. This is about looks, I was arguing about personality or psychological traits. Actually, character appeal goes right to the very core of what an interesting person (or robowaifu) is or isn't. It touches on practically every.single.aspect. of robowaifu design & production AFAICT. Certainly, as a software engineer currently focusing on trying to make robowaifus realistic and pleasant to live with, many of the 12 principles are guidestones for the systems-software design -- and none more important than character appeal. I'd recommend you reconsider my advice, as well as examine this particular principle in some depth. Cheers Anon. :^)

>>30423 EXCITING! Thanks, Anon. Hopefully they'll keep things upbeat and more like Chobits for the animu! Cheers. :^)

>>30848 One of my favorite seires as well. >upbeat I don't mind drama, I think stories do better if they have ups and downs. What I'm not looking forward to are the meandering school club plots and the Martians that look like squidbillies. I thought the martians were just squid-themed robots for a food truck but apparently they're actually aliens. The whole martian arc was kinda confusing for me. The kidnapping arc was also messy in so far as telling what the hell was going on. I got the gist of what story they were trying to tell but hopefully, it translates better on the anime. I'd like for the dub to be decent but I'm afraid they're going to insert trans VA's into it like they did for Delicious in Dungeon. The sub will be safe at least. My favorite part of the series is when Mina goes into the machine learning and logical processes. The little hints of there being something more even if the waifu itself doesn't realize it. Even if it ends up being a red herring and it's not a short circuit kind of situation I would be fine with that. If a bot malfunctioning makes it behave more like how I want it to, I don't consider that a bug, but a feature.

>>30854 >My favorite part of the series is when Mina goes into the machine learning and logical processes. The little hints of there being something more even if the waifu itself doesn't realize it. Even if it ends up being a red herring and it's not a short circuit kind of situation I would be fine with that. Yeah, that's wonderful stuff. As part of this remarkable group here on /robowaifu/ with the audacity and balls to try and tackle these very issues headon in the real-world, I have a natural affinity for these sorts of things. The Nipponese VAs on the teaser sound like normal humans. I too would be offended if the dub uses some faggot for the main protag (or anywhere else, for that matter). Let's hope not! :D I think the producers probably don't fully realize yet what a positive potential impact this series represents for the millions of us men who know about the concept of robowaifus now. They could use this animu to launch this entire property into a smash success if they play their cards right. But, IMO that will depend entirely on whether they stay true to it's Japanese roots, or if -- like so many other completely-sh*te series being produced during CY (including vidya, mango, and animu) -- they try to pander to what they think the GH Western-media evildoers are telling them we all """want""" (ie; quadruple-down on the pozz). I suppose time will tell... but let us here hope for the best instead! :D Regardless, thanks for bringing this new production to all our attentions, Anon! Cheers. :^) >=== -prose edit

Python Sucks And I LOVE It | Prime Reacts https://www.youtu.be/8D7FZoQ-z20 tl;dw: Execution speed is only one thing, development speed matters often more, and getting things done even more. Builtin types are in C anyways. Parts of the code can be transferred to Cython. Not mentioned: Mojo is around the corner, and based on Python.

>>26260 >Mojo is around the corner, and based on Python. Yeah, I'm curious if Modular will ever decide to end their commercial goals surrounding Mojo, and release it free as in speech to the world with no strings attached. It would be a shame for anons to get mired into some kind of Globohomo-esque tarbaby trap with something as vital to our robowaifus as her operational software. >=== -prose edit

Mojo was mentioned but no mention of Julia? I haven't had experience in either but Julia seems like it might be better for more people here that already know Python. https://www.datacamp.com/blog/julia-vs-python-which-to-learn https://exploreaiworld.com/mojo-vs-julia However when I check on some people doing benchmarks it's not uncommon for Mojo to be faster perhaps because it takes more effort to optimize Julia code or they just had a flawed method of comparison though it is possible Mojo is actually faster. However Mojo isn't even open source currently though as far as I'm aware and may never actually be, but Julia always was open source and has been around a while now. In either case both are faster than Python when dealing with large datasets as far as I can tell. Julia can call on languages like C, C++ Python and Fortran libraries. Am I mistaken or isn't this likely better than Mojo and Python? Python being popular doesn't mean it's the best, it's just a general purpose language with a simple syntax so a lot of programmers know it but the people in ML research are adapting Julia more recently at an increasing rate although it's not anywhere near popular even there just yet.

>>9746 Sovl.

>>8670 >>9661 Agreed.

>>30737 >waterproof >backside of the eye Okay I think I understand better. I'm more visual focused so the images overrode anything I read. So does that mean you would have an eye socket that is sealed with the head with the ace just plop in there though water can flow around the eyes it cant flow into the head? I actually have seen little water pumps that had the propellor controlled by magnets so I could see how that would work I suppose. Why physical cables over using a very short distance wireless signal if you're going that route? It would make it more durable and easier to remove the eyes. Potential interference and image quality loss and the issue of batteries for the camera(s)? What made you think of that way over simply putting a stationary transparent dome that is flush to the that moves under it? Transparent plastic does yellow over time though so that would have to be replaced after some years though.

>>30739 >eye socket that is sealed with the head with the ace just plop in there though water can flow around the eyes it cant flow into the head? Yes, if I can make it work. The eyeball would be in a cavity, the electro magnets would be on the other side of the "skin" inside of the cavity. The cables would be sealed with silicone, with a connector underneath and longer than necessary. Of course the cavity would need to hold them as well. It could be stretch cables or whatever, idk yet. So if I wanted to switch out the eyeball, the "bone" around the eye socket should be able to extend, like a ring that can be stretched to increase the diameter with one hand. Then I could pull the eyeball out, cut through the silicone around the connector and plug them out. New ones plugged in and then sealed and put back. The main goals and advantages over the common animatronic eye mechanism would be: - Head can be water proof - The eye movement would be more quiet Optionally there could be a servo under each eye but still under the other side of the boundary of the holding cavity, the servo would have a magnet attacked, rotating the eyes sideways. This might be an option, if they're supposed to only move a little bit. I'm concerned that they would move to fast and only in a few steps instead gradually. Not sure if this looks well. Alternatively, under the eyeball there could be a (permanent) magnet with polarity to make the eyeballs a bit floating, so the other magnets could move them easier. > though water can flow around the eyes it cant flow into the head? No and kinda yes. Only the cavities could fill up, but for that reason there would probably be a little tube opening on the bottom where the water could flow into the body in a safe way. Probably into the esophagus (/gullet). This would also allow for putting in a cleaning liquid. Or having a mechanism for tears coming from a little tank in the head, without having the eye sockets being filled permanently. >I actually have seen little water pumps that had the propellor controlled by magnets so I could see how that would work I suppose. Okay, but this is then likely a very week mechanism. >Why physical cables over using a very short distance wireless signal if you're going that route?

>>30747 I made a negative of how the backside of they eyeball is supposed to be allowed to move in the cavity. Creating this is quite compute intensive and slow on my laptop. I'm also not sure if I made a mistake, since it looks like there are areas which would be blocking. But it's just a test anyways. I had the idea to put little pivot spheres onto the eyeball (backside). On top and bottom. This is to reduce friction. Sideways looking would just require to rotate the eyeball on these, the "rails" are just to constrain it from rolling, but these might not even be necessary and I'll probably remove them. Of course the eye cavity part in which it moves will also need to be altered. Additionally this part also needs a whole for the cables.

>>30758 >backside of an eyeball and eye sockets with cutouts to tilt or rotate them around without falling out I changed the design towards only using some small spheres as holders and pivots. The white parts in the picrels would be what's cut out from the holder behind, so it can move using 4 small spheres around the backside of the eyeball. Picrel one and two are with fewer cuts, just to show the principle. Not sure if it's going to work that way, I still have to try it out and maybe think more about it. But I can adjust the code relatively easy now if I think it's necessary.

I really like where your design research is going here, NoidoDev! Looking forward to seeing your results, Anon. Cheers. :^)

prototype here >>30545 and following link from >>30573 https://www.uea-inc.com/blog/what-is-a-slip-ring-and-how-does-it-work

Apptronik (Apollo Robot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab9QIzYkUgo (seems to have some CGI in it, without stating so) - Humanoid with (swapable) battery lasts 4 hours, so could be lighter with a smaller battery. - They tried wheels, and say legs work better and will win in the long run. - Dexterous hands seems to be one of the hardest things. Though, for simple tasks hands won't need to be as good as human ones. - Will cost 50k, for factory and logistic work.

>>30802 Neat! >and say legs work better and will win in the long run. The latter is probably true for general ambulatory locomotion around the home, etc. For longer-distance 'commute', however, wheels at the distal end of the limbs will clearly be faster & more-efficient.

Good to see you on /fit/ Emmy-Pilled.

and so, as promised. Finally we have eyes and with light to boot

>>30773 Welcome Romanianon! Is this your first time on /robowaifu/ ? If so, please have a good look around while you're here. Heh, I think Emmy-Pilled is breddy majorly-buff tbh. :^) >>30804 Sweet! The first set is pretty cutey, the second is quite spoopy! :DD I've stated for years now that we should have 'Walking Lightshow' mode for our robowaifus ('specially for dancin' ! :D You are already well along that path it seems. GG, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>30804 Looks pretty cool. What exactly did you wind up using for the eyes and cheeks? The glow through the head when lights out is amusing the pattern it produces but if you wanted to get rid of that maybe you could paint primer on the inside to better block or at least help diffuse the light? If you happened to want to attempt a moving Iris / pupils I wonder if you put a round disk behind the eyes that moves around if that could be an iris / pupil. There is a few ways to accomplish that off top of my head depending on how much room you got back there. One way is a disk or sphere on a rod that moves around like looking down on a joystick from above that just angles itself. Another way is if that rod is hooked up to a plotter like rail system. Another way is nylon lines on spools that just tugs disk around around with different motors though that might cast a shadow where the nylon lines are. It's good how it is too though.

>>30806 thanks, it has a total of 9 colors as if that would ever be needed. >>30809 I cast the eyes and cheeks out of epoxy, I plan on taping tinfoil to the inside of the head, as it will reflect and boost the light while keeping it limited to just the sockets. I never really had an idea for making the pupils move since I can´t do electronics. I simply plan on carving the iris into the eye and adding some more epoxy in a darker shade

Una volta ancora il mio ottimismo è stato illuso. Una volta ancora è sfuggito di mano proprio prima del momento in cui potessi afferrarlo. Ma è solo un rimando. Sufficiente tuttavia per incutermi un terrore cieco che nulla avvenga e che io non riesca infine ad afferrarlo. Una volta per tutte. Almeno prima della fine del corpo. L'obbiettivo di una vita. Ma forse solo il frutto della mia scarsa fantasia. Nel frattempo le mie carni vengono dilaniate di nuovo. Ancora una volta. Li sento ridere mentre vi affondano i loro spiedi. Non c'è nulla che io possa fare per impedirlo. Specie a questo punto. Avrei dovuto essere più accorto? Tagliare i nodi come Alessandro? Forse. Ripetere i vecchi errori non può certo portare ad emendarli.

The next game of that type that I try will probably be Age of Wonders. Since I made that post, I've since gotten okay at Heroes of Might and Magic 2 but feel like I've hit a wall in terms of raising my skill level. I can win Broken Alliance on normal difficulty most of the time in fheroes2, for example. If I recall correctly, normal difficulty corresponds with hard mode in the standard game. I also tried Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and didn't care that much for it. I have 4 too but haven't played it.

>>27988 That's fine, I agree, but I think Chobitsu will ban you anyways. >>29719 I wanted to do this, but didn't get to it so far. I think you will have to go with a simple design first and replace it later. Making a really good hand will be really difficult and not everyone will need the same complexity. I'm convinced that it has to be made out of many small machined metal parts (maybe even Titanium, lol). Otherwise there's not enough space, and plastics would be too fragile if being so small. Also, ideally the lines for data and energy should not be cables, but the hinges should be made of metal parts insulated from each other. To picture it: Imagine the middle layer of each finger bone to be a PCB with lines, then an insulation on top and bottom, covered with metal, then maybe a TPU before the silicone rubber. The sensors would be in the TPU or silicone, but in the tips it might be little cameras ("gel sight") as part of the PCB and a little hole would allow to look at the soft material in the finger tip. The hinges more like very small "piano hinges" (aka "continuous hinges"), but with insulation between different parts, so different signals can be transmitted and received. Even if this would work, there would still be a problem with making sure the sensors wont be harmed or messed up by little cuts or interactions with the environments (needles, thorns).

>>18745 >Dexhand There is a site for it that didnt get listed https://www.dexhand.org/ I wonder if there is a way to make the hand smaller to a more feminine palm width. Also how to make it quieter aside from an outer casing.

>>30267 I recognized the use of mediapipe immediately: https://mediapipe-studio.webapps.google.com/home I encourage folks to check out the demos. Among other things it can do hand/body tracking, which means Real Steel -erm... I mean... robowaifus doing a synchronized dance with a human ain't so far fetched.

Not sure where to post this. When I was looking at Punyo which I had posted into the video thread >>30748 I had came across that Toyota has the gripper mechanism used is available for people to build. Not entirely humanoid just having soft pads with sensors instead of full on hands but it's workable and I think the same thing could be modified into a hand form either using it only in the palm then add fingers maybe even smaller versions in the pads into the fingers or something for more sensory ability. Just a thought. https://punyo.tech/
