Robowaifu Propaganda and Recruitment Thread 3: Now In 3D! GreerTech 09/16/2025 (Tue) 01:38:16 No.41674 [Reply] [Last]
Attention artists, graphic designers, marketers, social media personalities, writers, and poasters! Your skills will be needed! The task of building and designing a robowaifu is a herculean quest. As great as this community is, /robowaifu/ always needs more talent. We also need to spread the very idea of robowaifus to the masses. Luckily for us there are several communities on the internet that we could find new recruits or allies to help us build our waifus: >MGTOW - These guys know all about the legal pitfalls of marriage and the dangers of feminism. There is already a lot of talk about sex robots in MGTOW communities. It shouldn't be a hard sell to get them to come here. <However, some of these guys would rather spend all their time bitching on the internet about "MUH WOMENZ" than actually getting a hobby other than lifting heavy objects and putting them down again. MGTOW is literally Feminist Separatism for males. >Incels - Guys that can't get laid. The opportunity for love and companionship should be enough to bring some of these guys over. <However, we need to be careful when recruiting from some of their communities, since most of them are defeatists that balk at an actual solution, and they may be compromised by spies and derailers, both governmental and NGO/individual. We don't want to attract negative attention. >Monster girls/nekomimi/HMOAF/mlpol - The only way these guys are going to be able to have their harpy/elf/goblin/anthro/pony/whatever gf is with a robowaifu. Many have an interest in seeing us succeed. <However, there exists a very wide variety of communities under this umbrella, and there is a notable overlap between communities who would want robowaifus and communities that are morally compromised, such as furries, so care should be taken when looking into them. Romanticists and waifu enthusiasts have a tendency to congregate since they all want/create the same type of content, so looking for those subgroups would be the most efficient path. >Otakus - Many men in these communities want to see their waifu/favorite character come to life, which will realistically only happen with robowaifus. <However, many of those communities are drowning in the LGBT alphabet soup and Covid Tourists. Special care should be taken when looking into them. >Male STEM students - Generally these guys aren't going to get laid until after they have established themselves. A robowaifu could really help them.

People think that the purpose of public debate is to change your enemies mind, but that isn't the case. The point of public and large-scale debate to make your enemy look foolish at best, and downright evil at worse. That's why leftists hated Charlie Kirk to the point of murder. He made them look foolish constantly, up to his last breath.

I've been following the Future AI Society on youtube, but most of the videos they post have just been the same thing phrased differently, explaining how it works over and over again with barely any new information or demonstrations. https://futureaisociety.org/technologies/brain-simulator-iii-common-sense-ai-research https://vimeo.com/715690123 These videos are from May '22, but they're on the 3rd version of the brain simulator software by now.

Really good talk on "Practical Data-Oriented Design" revolving around a simple rocket game system example, using C++ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzjJfKHygaQ Some related example code : https://github.com/vittorioromeo/VRSFML/blob/dodtalk/examples/rockets/Rockets.cpp --- BTW, Vittorio Romeo gave a FAR better explanation here of the basic concepts needed for these approaches than, say, Mike Acton who was both effete, condescending, and didn't really do a very good job explaining things nearly so much as he did at his own personal posturing; insulting of the audience; and deriding the language itself! :D I followed along implementing the simple breakout game system example Vittorio used during his very first talk at CppCon, years ago now. Its fun to see him now as a mature man in the development field still contributing back important work for the broader community today. <---> BTW, this isn't just for idle education: our advanced robowaifus in the end will be loaded with hundreds and thousands of controls signals & data; all in-flight simultaneously, as she walks, and talks; sings & dances; cooks & cleans; etc., etc., during her busy days! :^) By utilizing the great design & architectural combos discussed here in this talk -- but particularly the DOD one -- we developers can help ensure that these signals and processes can all complete safely, securely, and in timely fashions within her onboard smol SBCs, MCUs, etc. Cheers. :^)

Power & Energy Robowaifu Technician 04/25/2025 (Fri) 22:16:32 No.37810 [Reply] [Last]
Power & Energy Robots require some form of energy to power them. We need to understand how to store energy in a way that will provide her with all the power she’ll need. To clarify, “energy” is a system's capacity to do work over time. This is measured by Wh, or Watt hour. Closely related is “power” the rate at which work is done. This is measured as W, or watts. As an example, we could have a robot with a 80Wh Lithium Ion battery and two DC gear motors that consume 10W when working. You do not need to rely solely on batteries and motors. We can use other methods of storing energy. This can include compressed fluids, thermal energy, and light, among other things. For instance, glow in the dark paint is useful for storing energy to use at night for safety. Solar panels or a generator can provide power through the energy of long distance nuclear fusion or extracting energy from some reaction. Being part of a robot means we need to consider safety, mass, and volume. How will her energy and power system fit inside her? How will she deal with the mass? What happens when she runs out of energy? How can you minimize her energy use? What alternatives can be used to lower her cost of production and ownership? These rhetorical questions are all important when contemplating how to build a robot.

Every part will be designed to be easily printable and replaceable. Her designs will be open source. Modding and customization will be encouraged. This is a base model. Early revisions will be heavily limited in functionality. I invite you to help design and define standards so that it is easy to create specialized add-ons to allow her to become your own waifu.

Decided to simplify her main body and leave the bobs and buns as optional add-ons. Hard plastic bobs are painful to snuggle with from my personal experience in recent experiments. Decided her joints should be modular and optional too. MaidCom is going all in on the simplest core that you expand as you like. What connector should she use? I've been thinking USB C for electrical with pegs and sockets for the physical connections. If an open standard already exists, I'd like to make her as compatible as possible, Modularity to fit specific niches is the goal. I recently asked normies what they wanted MaidCom to do. Laundry and washing dishes were the number one asks. When I said no robot on Earth can do it, they said I asked what they wanted, and that was it. So, I came to the conclusion that she needs to do that. But, those tasks are supremely difficult for humanoids. She needs to be able to adapt to meet those demands, in the specific situations of her user. It's impossible to make her universal and affordable, she needs to be personal.
>>42954 POTD >I've been thinking USB C for electrical Probably a safe bet for this revision. I'd say just go with that.

>>42878 Some kind of half-way between axial and radial flux motors might have some benefits, I couldn't even really remember anything about the position or orientation of the magnets seconds after I woke up. And as far as the pump goes, the pattern in the impeller of a centrifugal pump might be useful, but I can't really imagine it would make enough difference for it to be worth it. And the rest of it seemed like a hybrid of a camshaft and a hand pump or hand pump and centrifugal pump in some way I can't imagine ever having any use for. But oddly enough while trying to find how I was talking about, I managed to find this picture of a "conical field coaxial magnetic gear", that's not too far off from what was in my dream. I guess the two things are related, if only vaguely.

>>42899 >it's ALL scripted Well, yes. Smol local chatbot LLMs are not trained for giving servo positions or providing responses in a consistent format. When I was kanoodling with the chatgpt API a few years ago (wait 2021 that was over 4 years ago!) it could respond from a list of possible expressions and separate it from the displayed text. It could also provide servo positions but I'm not sure if they actually would make sense. Would have to provide a list of joints and what each limit means (eg servo 1 is the elbow and a value of 1500 is retracted and 2500 is extended servo 2 is wrist rotation where 500 is clockwise and 2500 is counterclockwise, etc). Seen a few projects where they give chatgpt control of stuff like a smol robodoog. I'll probably give SPUD pre-programmed poses to react to keywords since she's all locally hosted on a raspi. Now that I think of it I never did check how well the wizard model is with providing more robot-y responses...

Artificial Wombs general Robowaifu Technician 09/12/2019 (Thu) 03:11:54 No.157 [Reply] [Last]
I think we need to figure out how to fit a womb onto a waifubot. Where's the fun in having sex if you can't procreate?

Repost from a thread on /b/;
>"If you're like me and want to fuck a qt battlebot and get her pregnant, the best place to put an artificial womb is where a normal womb would be on a normal girl. The metal exterior could simply be a bunch of metal plates that unfold to allow space for the womb pod inside. The baby is probably safest inside the battlebot, and if she has good calibration then there shouldn't be problems with her falling and hurting the baby. After giving birth the metal plates could automatically fold back up again, shrinking the womb pod inside so she is combat effective again."

Well /robowaifu/? Feasible?
