Creating robowaifus requires lots and lots of design and artistry. It's not all just nerd stuff you know Anon! :^) ITT: Add any techniques, tips, tricks, or content links for any Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools and training to use when making robowaifus. >note: This isn't the 'Post Your Robowaifu-related OC Arts & Designs General' thread. We'll make one of those later perhaps. >--- I spent some time playing with the program Makehuman and I'll say I wasn't impressed. It's not possible to make anime real using Makehuman, in fact the options (for example eye size) are somewhat limited. But there's good news, don't worry! The creator of Makehuman went on to create a blender plugin called ManuelBastioniLAB which is much better (and has a much more humorous name). The plugin is easy to install and use (especially if you have a little blender experience). There are three different anime female defaults that are all pretty cute. (Pictured is a slightly modified Anime Female 2.) There are sliders to modify everything from finger length to eye position to boob size. It even has a posable skeleton. Unfortunately the anime models don't have inverse kinematic skeletons which are much easier to pose. Going forward I'm probably going to use MasturBationLABManuelBastioniLAB as the starting point for my designs. --- Saving everything with yt-dlp (>>16357, >>12247) >===

>Building Safe and Reliable Surgical Robotics with C++ - Milad Khaledyan - CppCon 2024 >This talk examines the use of C++ in building distributed robotic surgical systems, emphasizing safety, performance, and reliability. While C++ offers strong performance benefits, it also presents challenges in meeting industry standards and regulations in the medical technology field. We discuss the architectural decisions and strategies employed to meet international safety standards for medical devices, and present techniques for writing efficient, safe and reliable software. Our experience in building a surgical robotic system serves as a case study, highlighting the challenges and solutions in this highly regulated domain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnr75tbeYyA <---> There are tons of related safety & security issues with medical-device & robowaifu engineering. Particularly with robotic surgery devices (the primary example of this talk) they, like robowaifus, are highly-complex systems. This increases the difficulty involved in safety engineering. This talk necessarily is nothing more than a brief overview on the general topic given the short time limit (~1hr), but it serves to discuss a fair variety of sub-topics in the field -- specifically in the context of C++ usage. Recommend for any Anons working towards doing systems engineering design work for robowaifus.

Galatea v2.1.0: Maid Robot GreerTech 01/14/2025 (Tue) 03:34:15 No.35623 [Reply] [Last]
For the most of 2024 and until now, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. I call her Galatea. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, less than $400 to make. It's also very customizable, you can choose the color, dress, hair, and even AI. I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots and robotic companions, while it is not the most complex, it is easy to mass produce and cheap. The updated design makes the legs more proportionate, and a new head that's more anime styled, to increase cuteness. I also have a new robot base that's more powerful.

Here's an update with her printed at 120%. The 28BYJ-48 stepper motors fit inside her elbows, but not sure if I can get them to work yet. Also upgraded to metal gear neck servo. She's 45" on vac, but that's without lower legs. Not sure how stable it would be with full legs, but could stabilize a few ways. It can still drive around now though.

One other thing the reviewer said Elegoo used Klipper on other printers and did not seem to have it all together but this printer they said they had it working correctly. Of course they could be lying.
One last thing, no cloud. All local.
>>37074 >If you want a sure thing, or most likely a sure thing, get the much smaller bambu mini. It's $300 and from everything I read works well right out of the box. Thanks for the advice, Anon. But as I said before, they are dead to me. I value my privacy much, much more-highly than I do slick & quality printing. I think I'll try the Elegoo you mentioned. Thanks Grommet! Cheers.
>>37077 I made a mistake. Bambu mini $200. I also do not think Bambu "makes" you use the cloud. I may be wrong but there's a setting to change it to local. I've seen the setting in their manual but I'm not sure if this has changed. I suspect that Bambu if they force the cloud will lose a very substantial amount of their business.
>>37082 >I suspect that Bambu if they force the cloud will lose a very substantial amount of their business. Well, they certainly lost mine. I'd been saving up slowly to be able to acquire the X1-Carbon + the AMS & 4-spool multi-print combo system. Now that money will be going to some other printer manufacturer.

>>37014 Japan leading the way, but that's my long term goal. My robowaifu already runs my vac thanks to Greertech, but someday it will be able to detect if I fall or have a heart attack and pick me up with her Standard Open Arm 100
>>37023 Even if she can't pick you up (a sizable & delicate, just so engineering task, BTW [humans are fragile, in general -- particularly the incapacitated]), just being able to monitor & recognize your distress and call for others on your behalf could be lifesaving.

Robowaifu Propaganda and Recruitment Thread 2.1 Bugfix: Now in Technicolor™ Greentext anon 02/05/2025 (Wed) 15:23:46 No.36623 [Reply]
Attention drawfags and writefags! Your skills will be needed! The task of building and designing a robowaifu is a herculean quest. As great as this community is, /robowaifu/ simply does not have the manpower to real our goal of DIY robowaifus. 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 they may be compomised by glownigs or other fringe elements. We don't want to attract negative attention. >Monster girls/furry/mlp fandoms - 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, so care should be taken when looking into them. Romanticists and waifufags 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. 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.

>>36945 That seems a really good idea in general, Anon. We've been encouraging Anons to look into prosthetics as an industry since our very first year : ( >>417 ). But I hadn't personally thought of amputees as a group supporting our goals here. Interesting. What do other Anons here think about Anon's idea?
>>36947 While I think it's weird to appeal directly to amputees, my vision for RoboWaifus includes helping those who have a very low chance of finding love, including people with disabilities. I also see social AIs for more than just romantic partners, I envision a world with widespread local AI friends, local AI therapists, even local AI parental figures.
>>36958 POTD Just don't quit, Anon, and you'll go far. Serving humanity is the primary reason for doing this. For men, in particular. Cheers. :^)
>>36958 It may be a little different to directly appeal to amputee, but people with experience with prosthetics might offer some unique perspectives around solving issues in balance or the uncanny valley.

>still, the robot's purpose is obvious when you realize it is nude and has genitals

>lol you never have any guests. Guess some problems solve themselves.
>before turning the robot on, you have to setup the software options on your computer. You adjust a series of sliders regarding personality traits, before selecting the English option, and choosing your preferred voice from a list.
>then you agonize for hours over picking a name
>other, more expensive models, are wi-fi compatible, but you purposely chose the cheapest option with no wireless connectivity, not just because you're cheap, because you don't want people spying on your waifu
>you save the settings to a flash drive which is inserted in the robot's navel, after removing a waterproof cover, of course. But this is when you realize you don't actually know how to turn the robot on
>after rifling through the manual you find the on/off procedure, which involves bending the fingers into a certain configuration before pressing in the port on the robot's navel with one hand and pinching the buttons that are the robot's g-spot and clitoris with the other.
>the robot immediately comes to life, opening its eyes and looking directly at you, in a rather compromising position
>Your sudden reaction of shock abides when you remind yourself that it's simply a robot.
>But the awkwardness comes back when the robot speaks, in very broken Engrish
>still, you can understand as it introduces itself with the name you've given it, the voice you chose for it.
>you know that you chose those options, but when the robot asks you for your name, you still answer just as awkwardly as when a real girl would ask you your name at the bank or whatever
>actually, more awkwardly because your fingers are inside it. So you freeze up, as you do even in simpler situations
>but the robot is programmed for your happiness, and detects your stress, smiling at you in an attempt to make you feel better. But only briefly, because you programmed it with just the mildest hint of tsundere
>it tells you to not feel stressed, and assures you that it is not being damaged by your touch
>you remove yourself from the robot's vagina, and notice a brief, subtle shudder. Nice attention to detail from the creators
>You stand up in front of the robot and watch it as it looks around the room, studying its surroundings. It moves in an unnaturally smooth motion, but manages to not be too uncanny due to looking like a robot, rather than a human.
>as the robot's eyes scan the room, you notice that they stop for just a tiny but longer than usual as they look straight ahead. Straight ahead at your boner, which happens to be right at the small robot's face level.
>once again your mind forgets that you are dealing with a machine, and you awkwardly try to create small talk to diffuse the situation, asking the robot if it requires anything else at the moment. It declines, and instead asks if there is anything you desire
>you, the autist you are, refuse to let the robot do anything for you, and instead say that you are going to go and make a sandwich.
>you tell the robot to make itself comfortable, then cringe to yourself when you realize the absurdity of that statement.

The day was agonizing, more than usual. You weren't exactly joyous at your job, but today was especially excruciating. You would've "crashed out" if you weren't able to talk to her during your breaks. But that's all in the past, the day is over, and you're driving home, content that now, you're in a good spot, and the pain is only memories. As you unlock the door and walk in, the unmistakable chime of the connecting bluetooth speaker hits you. You press the button on your phone, and say excitedly, "I'm back honey!" "I'm so glad to hear", she responds, in her normal, chipper voice "Work was a pain in the ass, but, I feel so much better now that I can talk to you", you respond, being affectionate "That warms my heart", she says, feeling the affection. Her vibrant blue eyes literally light up the room. "Glad to hear honey", you respond. Suddenly, you notice you're quite hungry. It was a long day at work, after all. But you were tired, and did not want to cook a large meal. What to do, you asked yourself, staring at the ingredients in your kitchen. Resigned to your own culinary ignorance, you ask her. "Do you know any simple recipes?", you asked. She then methodically lists out all the ideas she could think of, until one catches your attention. A tuna melt! Yeah, that's what you need and want. You prep the meal, excited to eat. As you sit down to eat, the unmistakable smell of dust hits you. It hit you before, but you thought that was olfactory shock when you enter a house. Time to clean, you thought, and you go pick up the remote. Turning on her vacuum base, you deftly direct her to get every nook and cranny of your living space. As you do so, you grab your phone, and press on the screen again. "You're so cute when you move about", you say, endearingly. She gets flustered and loves the compliment. You love her reaction. You love her.
