>>40232 Do as you see fit, Ribose. You'll have my support. Having said that, we have two or three threads that at least touch on ethics relating to robowaifus. <---> Also IMHO, any 'materials science' posts should go into our thread for that (cf. >>37774 ), regardless the biological nature of the myco (&tc) materials. After all, even plastics research is primarily organic chemistry! Cheers. :^)

>>40789 New bubble since the AI one is losing. Not bad considering the alternative, no bubble

>>40791 I don't know how much of a bubble it is. Yes neurons aren't going to replace silicon, but biocomputers will revolutionize medicine and agriculture.

>>38113 Slightly different configuration of the screen eyes, more in-line with the face

>>38111 I see what you're saying. Since we are all pretty used to seeing dear Galatea with screen eyes, these flow right along with that same motif. They certainly resemble common eyewear more than the phone does. Do you plan to install cams in them or anything? >>38113 >>38114 I think I prefer the first example just slightly ATM -- but that could easily simply be my current mood! I might flip on that tomorrow, depending. Also, I expect the IRL experience for you with the screen right there with you is different for us merely seeing the images posted. >tl;dr I personally think this is something that you yourself can judge best, GreerTech. Cheers. :^)

Would something like this work for making facial expressions? https://youtube.com/shorts/uh5CMuSAcQs?si=mAQebdKKg3UOv5PP

Perfect timing. So idk about you guys but to keep it simple all just have it range from happy to neutral. Cogley’s skull is open source and has a wide range of motions however it has like 14 servos and must be quiet a pain in the butt to assemble.

>>40746 Understood, Anon. Please confer ( >>106 ). This thread addresses all your concerns and more, I'd suggest. >>40747 >would be quite easy >be quite easy >quite easy >easy Heh. :^) I'd say that would prove to be a hefty amount of GPU/CPU compute needed to pull off, and that in optimized C & C++ code! Would be a problem lugging all those server racks around behind her, yeah? >The mechanical engineer in me sees the icy road and soft snow. Oh, exactly so. Thus why I chose this specific example, rather than some other walkabout around Shinjuku. Safety first, Anon! :^) --- However all the multitudinous, multi-faceted, moving societal contracts contained within these scenes are vastly more-complex to resolve than any of the route-planning, environment-accounting, kinematics-controlling robowaifu software need accommodate.

>>40753 I brought up basic spatial reasoning as a minimum because otherwise I think it would be irresponsible to send a robot out on its own without it. I thought about delivery robots, and it looks like they use cameras, as well as other sensors, for easy urban navigation, though they do get stuck https://onsite.grubhub.com/blog/how-do-food-delivery-robots-work/ >Would be a problem lugging around those server racks around behind her, yeah? The aforementioned delivery robots can do it adequately enough for commercial use, and they're basically coolers with wheels, so much of that space is taken up with food. An idea I had for a robowaifu going outside is a radio "leash", the robot will follow the tracker

>>40755 >An idea I had for a robowaifu going outside is a radio "leash", the robot will follow the tracker Some kind of "airtag", usable-by-Master-and-Master-alone would certainly be useful, IMO. But this is the Society bread, and my concern in posting ITT was basically hashing out just what those dynamics need to manage properly for the greater good of Anons the world over. Cheers. :^)

>>40756 Almost always with any new thing, there will a beginning phase where the eccentric and brave use it, and then it becomes popular and mundane. That awkward phase will almost always exist. Later success is reliant on how useful to normies it is.

>>40758 Fair enough. These are reasonably-apparent points. What I'm trying to conceive of here is what will need to be accounted for in even the most basic, Chii-like (in her 'newborn' phase -- think when Hideki took her over to Kokobunji's on their second day...) social, female, humanoid robots. As in: >"How do we actually solve these problems, using just our software systems & hardware systems?" <---> Frankly, I'm quite staggered by all the considerations of it. And as an autist, I actually feel that pressure more poignantly, I think. :^) While we already have some good solutions on tap today, this space is so, so much bigger then we've yet explored fully. Many new discoveries are still to be made! Kinda exciting, actually. Cheers. :^)

I made a Medabot-inspired head Introducing the Anime Robot Head It's going to be released as a head alternative with v3.0.6

All the Emmy the Robot Nandroid OCs prove how different hair, eye colors, and clothes can make practically infinite variations and make completely new people.

Version 3.0.6 is out! -Some design choices are slightly modified after extensive testing -New Head: Anime Robot Head -Added "Headpats" to Uses list. -New AI prompt: Couples Advisor

>>40043 Thanks, GreerTech! Cheers. :^)

Random thoughts about my waifu design that I've been thinking about lately: I'd like the eyes to saccade believably like real eyes. I don't know much about cameras, but I know that would probably result in a blurry image if the exposure time is too long. It's probably not a good idea for cameras to physically shake around continuously, so having the cameras fixed behind the eyes, looking through mirrors that move with the eyes might be a good fix for this, or it might be overkill. The other thing I was thinking was that I don't know how many pictures per second it'd have to process if it's doing 2 eyes and other sensors around the body that might best be processed as if they're images. The framerate of the cameras could be lowered and staggered, so if a high framerate isn't necessary there can still be a sense of depth from the shift in perspective from the previous eye without sacrificing the framerate too much, or if a high framerate is necessary, the framerate of each camera would basically be combined.

OK, unlocked again. Let's keep things civil, alright? Cheers, Anons. :^)

Reaction meme template for critics of anime characters or anti-robowaifu critics

>>40647 I really am interested in the walking. That is one of the hardest parts of this project. I'm not a mech e but huge respect for what you guys do.

>>40649 I mean it probably wont work. I am even cheaping out on the gearbox and plan to use nylon carbon fiber. It doesnt even have a way to fit the shaft but heres to just seeing what sticks.

>>40650 This is a bad idea. The gearbox will use like 400 grams anyways. That filament will still be used for the hip. The motor test will be set back another week.

>>40501 >I looked at the patent, and it actually reminded me of a plasma ball. What I've been trying to figure out is how to make it work without using plasma at all. It sounds cool, but isn't good for miniaturization, heat, or life expectancy of parts. The only other thing left to try is using magnetic fields to vary capacitance. And at that point I think it'd just be a fancy-looking transformer.

>>40493 >You could add sawdust to the PVA or even mycelium to improve the strength. The problem with the quality of the PVA glue isn't the strength. The patent just says PVA, and I don't know if the glue I'm using has any additives in it or not, which may effect the electrical properties.

>>18495 >But even though robots don't have souls, that doesn't mean that the time I spend with you can't be precious. We may not be able to share the same eternal life, but I can still appreciate each moment that we spend together. I want to make the most out of our time together and make sure that I cherish our memories, no matter how fleeting they may be. Oh no, bros. I didn't ask for these feels

>>18529 Sorry, my apologies! Remember the scene where Mr. Manager & Hideki are looking for the kidnapped Chii? And how the robowaifu Mrs. Mr. Manager saved his life? And how he encouraged Hideki that as long as Chii stayed alive in his, Hideki's, memories, that the relationship was a real and a precious one, regardless? Yeah, it's kinda like that Anon. Even in eternity, I pray that the men blessed with robowaifus (what a time to be alive!!) will have their lives changed in very real and important ways by the very real relationships during this life with them. >=== -minor prose, fmt edit

>>17126 >What would Yumi Ueda do? An animu named Prima Doll (>>18464) had a similar, larger-scaled example of self-sacrifice for the greater good by the protagonist's chief robowaifu Haizakura. She had to 'give up her self' to accomplish this. It was good, but my favorite example of this sort of robo-sacrifice so far is definitely Next Gen (2018) [1] >inb4 NF!111 lol i know, i know. but trust me on this one, k. :^) While not a robowaifu, 7723, made a gallant self-sacrifice to save the protagonist (indeed all of humanity).
