Actuators For Waifu Movement Part 3 Kiwi 12/06/2023 (Wed) 01:18:16 No.27021 [Reply] [Last]
(1stl thread >>406 2nd thread >>12810) Kiwi back again with a thread for discussing actuators to move your waifu! Part Three! Let's start with a quick introduction to common actuators! 1. DC motors, these use brushes to switch the ferrous core electromagnets on a rotor to rotate its magnetic field relative to surrounding magnets! They're one of the cheapest options with an average efficiency range of 30 to 90%. Larger DC motors and motors with higher turn counts are more efficient. 1.5 Coreless DC motors, by removing ferrous materials, losses from hysteresis are almost eliminated, dramatically increasing efficiency to nearly 90% even in small motors. Eliminating the ferrous materials reduces flux focusing, resulting in weaker fields and higher speeds. 2. Brushless DC motors (BLDC), these use a controller to switch the electromagnets on a stator to rotate the magnets of a rotor! Without brushes, they have the potential to be more efficient with higher power density compared to DC motors. Their efficiency and behavior vary depending on the algorithm and sensors used to control them. Coreless brushless motors exist but are rare and only used for very niche applications. 3. AC motors, a wide and incredibly varied category. They all rely on AC’s frequency to control them. With single phase AC motors relying on shaded poles, capacitors, or some other method to induce a rotating magnetic field. 3 phase AC motors naturally have a rotating field which usually gives them higher efficiency and power density. Notably, most AC motors are brushless. The most commonly used brushed AC motor is the universal motor, which is 4. Stepper motors, brushless motors with ferrous teeth to focus magnetic flux. This allows for incredible control (stepping) at the cost of greater mass, subsequently giving them higher rotary inertia. Usually 50 to 80% efficient depending on control algorithm/speed/and quality of the stepper. Due to their increasing mass production (& ubiquitous low cost controllers), they have appeal as a lower cost alternative to BLDC motors if one carefully designs around them. 5. Coiled Nylon Actuators! These things have an efficiency rating so low it's best to just say they aren't efficient. (0.01% typical, 2% achieved under extremely specific conditions in a lab.) Though they are exciting due to their incredible low cost of fabrication, they’re far too slow and the energy requirements are nonsensical. https://youtu.be/S4-3_DnKE9E https://youtu.be/wltLEzQnznM 6. Hydraulics! These rely on the distribution of pressure in a working liquid to move things like pistons. Though popular in large scale industry, their ability to be used in waifu's has yet to be proven. (Boston Dynamics Atlas runs on hydraulics but it's a power guzzler and heavy) Efficiency varies wildly depending on implementation. They would work great for a giantess! 7. Pneumatics, hydraulics lighter sister! This time the fluid is air! This has the advantage in weight. They aren't capable of the same power loads hydraulics are but, who wants their waifu to bench press a car? (Too loud and inefficient for mobile robotics.) 8. Wax motors, hydraulic systems where the working fluid is expanding melted (commonly paraffin) wax! Cheap, low power, and produce incredible forces! Too bad they're slow and hard to control. 9. Explosion! Yes, you can move things through explosions! Gas engines work through explosions! Artificial muscles can be made by exploding a hydrogen and oxygen mixture in a piston, then using hydrolysis to turn the water back into hydrogen and oxygen. None of this is efficient or practical but it's vital we keep our minds open! Though there are more actuators, most are derivatives or use these examples to work. Things like pulleys need an actuator to move them. Now, let's share, learn, and get our waifu moving!

I've been hunting for this paper. I found it when the site was down and thought it very good but when I went to find...arrrggh. It's about using black sand, basically iron oxide you dig up in a yard or find in a steam to make electrical parts, including motors and actuators. I told Chobitsu you could do this but didn't have a paper that backed it up like this one. The reason I couldn't find it was I forgot the name and the title didn't have iron or F2O3 or whatever. So searching all over didn't help. But I finally did. It's great and a way to cheaply get material to make your own motors and actuators using "dirt" as the permeable material. Like the electrical steel in motors and transformers. Here's the link and on that page is a download for, "Digging Dirt: on Inductors: Experiments with Custom Magnetics Made from "Black Sand."" https://hpfriedrichs.com/radioroom/inductors/inductors.htm One thing he found was that while iron oxide is not the best permeable material he found that as long as it was not over driven with too much magnetic field strength it had very low Magnetic reluctance which like resistance in circuits but for magnetics. So good efficiency at low field levels. This is fine for us because you can get fairly strong forces with even this material. This is well worth reading even if you don't plan to use iron oxide as a material.
>>37627 >spitting that negative response back I think purity and maybe not crystalline enough. Basically rough material. I'm guessing so don't count on that as definitive. It could be wrong though. People made crystal radios in the old days from rough stuff. I've caught AI's saying wrong things more than once. But they are sooooo useful, mostly.
>>37754 That's really pretty cool, Grommet. Stuff like this gives me hope that humans will be able to recover from catastrophe should the need arise. Cheers. >>37755 Yeah, that seems to make sense to me.
>"Digging Dirt: on Inductors: Experiments with Custom Magnetics Made from "Black Sand."" I want to say one more thing about this article. If you look at the price of motors, actuators, etc. they are high as hell (for the numbers we need for real looking waifu's)and with the recent tariff troubles they are only going to get higher. I think that there is no way possible to economically make a robowaifu if you buy all these actuators. So the article above may not be exactly what you need but it's a great good start and shows you can do this with found materials and some methods. I've been looking at synthesizing iron oxide nano-particles. There's a LOT of work on this. Some of it doesn't look extraordinarily complicated though I just started looking. I don't know all the numbers yet but the reason its so popular as a research subject is these have great permeability and a very high level of magnetic flux before they choke. This paper looks REALLY GOOD for making these. A quick preview I see no super odd chemicals needed or specialized equipment. "A Milestone in the Chemical Synthesis of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Unreported Bulklike Properties Lead to a Remarkable Magnetic Hyperthermia" bulklike It uses PEG which can be bought as a laxative Polyethylene Glycol Powder for Solution (MiraLAX) and Iron oleate

Now you're getting it, Anon: actuators have always been the highest-cost single factor category of constructing pleasing & effective robowaifus (solely b/c the software coming from here is FREE [as in beer & speech: MIT-licensed (so, actually free speech! :D ]). This is one of the highly-important reasons why Kiwi, myself, and other cadres are so pleased with the ideas of Tensegrity : ( >>37672 ) for humanoid robotics. Amongst the many, many benefits this approach brings to us here on /robowaifu/ , significantly-reduced actuation costs (primarily due to significantly-reduced mass : >>4313 ) is a BIG one. <---> I like this guy's stuff, Grommet. Thanks for introducing us here to him! Cheers, Anon. :^)

Material Science & Production This thread is dedicated to all aspects of material sciences in robotics. This includes production methods for creation, processing, and manipulating materials to attain desired results. Our future robowaifus must be built using materials we can attain and sculpt into them. Let's work together to build the future. Consider picrel, what materials would you use for her shell? Her skeleton? Consider mechanical properties, density, how they would feel to hold. All are important aspects we must consider. This thread will have overlap with the 3D printing thread. Feel free to crosslink at will. This thread is made as a merger of 2 previous material threads and a CNC thread.

Robowaifus in Media: Thread 02 Robowaifus in Media: Thread 02 01/14/2023 (Sat) 23:49:54 No.18711 [Reply] [Last]
Post about whatever media predominately features at least one fembot aka gynoid (female form of an android) as an important character, ideally a robowaifu or synthetic girlfriend. Some freedom with the topic is allowed, virtual waifus or bodiless AI might also qualify if she is female. Negative framing of the whole topic should be mentioned with negative sentiment. Cyborgs with a human brain or uploads of women don't really fit in, but if she's very nice (Alita) and maybe not a human based cyborg (catborg/netoborg) we can let it slide. Magical dolls have also been included in the past, especially when the guy had to hand-made them. Look through the old thread, it's worth it: >>82 - Picrel shows some of the more well know shows from a few years ago. I made a long list with links to more info's on most known anime shows about fembots/robowaifus, without hentai but including some ecchi and posted it here in the old thread: >>7008 - It also features some live-action shows and movies. I repost the updated list here, not claiming that it is complete, especially when it comes to live action and shows/movies we don't really like. >In some cases I can only assume that the show includes robogirls, since the show is about various robots, but I haven't seen it yet.

I saw Ex Machina the other day and it was hot garbage.

The original 70's series, Robot Hunter, the live-action movie, but the only thing I couldn't bring myself to sit through was Sins, which was pretentious and boring as hell, but actually had female robots. Robot Hunter had one of the robot general from the original series gender-swapped, but that was it. The live action movie didn't even have robots, just some kind of BS stem cell zombies!
Has anyone watched Pantehon? I heard it was recommended as an accelerationist/singularity/robowaifu/AI type animated series. Apparently, its pretty good? Since its western media, I'm wary.

OpenAI/GPT-2 This has to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in deep learning and AI so far. It's extremely skilled in developing coherent humanlike responses that make sense and I believe it has massive potential, it also never gives the same answer twice. >GPT-2 generates synthetic text samples in response to the model being primed with an arbitrary input. The model is chameleon-like—it adapts to the style and content of the conditioning text. This allows the user to generate realistic and coherent continuations about a topic of their choosing >GPT-2 displays a broad set of capabilities, including the ability to generate conditional synthetic text samples of unprecedented quality, where we prime the model with an input and have it generate a lengthy continuation. In addition, GPT-2 outperforms other language models trained on specific domains (like Wikipedia, news, or books) without needing to use these domain-specific training datasets. Also the current public model shown here only uses 345 million parameters, the "full" AI (which has over 4x as many parameters) is being witheld from the public because of it's "Potential for abuse". That is to say the full model is so proficient in mimicking human communication that it could be abused to create new articles, posts, advertisements, even books; and nobody would be be able to tell that there was a bot behind it all. <AI demo: talktotransformer.com/ <Other Links: github.com/openai/gpt-2 openai.com/blog/better-language-models/ huggingface.co/

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) >===

>>37614 This is a really excellent resource. It also led me to BowlerStudio. I think you may have mentioned this before but I didn't really understand before I started reading more about CAD programs. BowlerStudio looks like a full scale development studio where you can design, test forces, etc. on robots. https://github.com/CommonWealthRobotics/BowlerStudio Some other stuff I found is BlocksCAD which is a visual OpenSCAD builder. Might come in handy to get started with OpenSCAD https://github.com/EinsteinsWorkshop/BlocksCAD And one other. A library that others are using and also has a 3D CAD, manifold. https://github.com/elalish/manifold This guy has some super interesting commentary on 3D libraries and CAD. He apparently figured out a way to make sure that combining objects does so correctly. Though I don't understand all of it, it seems even super expensive CAD programs can glitch in areas where they join objects and he has found a way to do this (math over my head) but he does describe it reasonably well. His library also integrates with OpenSCAD. The link below is a good read on the foibles of 3D CAD libraries. https://elalish.blogspot.com/2023/03/perseverance-history-of-manifold.html

Tensegrity Thread Tenssegrity is the purposeful application of tension in a system of non-contact components to provide integrity. These components effectively float on compression provided by tension elements. Tensegrity structures are often formed via rigid rods with a cable defining the spatial relations of the system. Picrel 1 is NASA’s Super Ball Bot, which uses the common 6 bar structure. By altering the lengths of the rods, the “ball” can roll. Please see (https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/super-ball-bot/) Our bodies use tensegrity to provide us with incredible strength, durability, and adaptability. Consider how when you bump into something or fall, you can feel the pressure dissipate throughout large parts of your body. This is due to your muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc… transferring the force throughout your body, protecting the impacted part. You can walk with little effort thanks in part to tensegrity. Your legs joints are all floating, providing low friction movement while distributing the force of impact throughout your entire leg when you step. Please see (http://intensiondesigns.ca/geometry-of-anatomy/) Tensegrity can also be made with elastic elements. These structures are what I believe are best suited for our endeavors. They provide looser tolerance requirements and give her body some squeezability. By incorporating naturally stretchable elements, she can better withstand having an Anon using her. (I speak from experience, though I still broke that torso before taking pictures.) Though there are drawbacks. These designs are deceptively difficult to design correctly. Our requirements for external aesthetics provide unique design requirements that complicate the design phase. I still believe using this concept is objectively correct for us to pursue. A good example to build off of (Debatable whether or not it’s true tensegrity): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4182634

Even anything that uses systemD*cks is off-limits as well, IMO. Does that make sense, Anon? --- ** by 'et al' in this specific-context, I mean anything downstream of these distros as well...so:

>>37737 So what's left?
>>37738 Well, there are dozens & dozens of possibilities left, Anon. One good one would be a very-pared-down OpenBSD running a hypervisor, and then the code sitting inside a minimal-by-default platform like #include<OS> (cf. >>203, et al). BTW, don't ever forget why you even need to ask 'what's left'. Of course, this situation & mindset on your part was intentionally-devised just so for today. Also, don't forget (((who))) is behind that set of machinations. >tl;dr The Globohomo is no one's friend (just like their father Satan). Thankfully, there are still viable alternatives to their already-compromised systems commonly available to us (like the above pairing). You just have to pick & choose wisely! :^)
>>37739 >Well, there are dozens & dozens of possibilities left, Anon. That's good, OpenBSD looks based. That combined with no wireless network sounds secure enough. Even a pozzed system could be made secure with that. >BTW, don't ever forget why you even need to ask 'what's left'. Of course, this situation & mindset on your part was intentionally-devised just so for today. Also, don't forget (((who))) is behind that set of machinations. Oh, I do know that and remember it. That's why I wanted to find any semi-obscure alternatives to defy them.
>>37740 Excellent! Sounds like you have your 'head screwed on straight' concerning this general topical domain, GreerTech. Proud of you for that, Anon. :^) <---> >Even a pozzed system could be made secure with that. Trust me, I understand where you're coming from with that -- and you may actually be right!! :D OTOH, logic tells us: >"You can never prove a negative." [1] In other words: we could never methodically exhaust all the realm of 'possible-possibles' , sufficient such that we can exclude something from being a possibility -- by using such an inherently-limited-and-tedious approach. (There are other ways, however; cf. [2]). God can always prove such a thing, if it is factual from his viewpoint. But as humans (still stuck inside this universe), about all we can do is make our best attempts to avoid the many various-and-sundry fallacies out there, make inference to the best explanation, reason by analogy, &tc. <---> I think the >tl;dr here ITT (indeed this entire board) is simply this:

Prototypes and Failures #4 Noido Dev ##pTGTWW 01/23/2024 (Tue) 03:17:26 No.28715 [Reply] [Last]
Post your prototypes and failures. We fail until we win. Don't forget looking through the old threads here >>418, >>18800 and >>21647 to understand how we got to where we are now.

From [Unusable board link - edit later] A good lesson for the prototypers here, if you intend for your design to be replicated, make sure the third-party devices have multiple sellers, the more the better, so that if one goes down, your design isn't instantly impossible to build. Even then, you should have backup designs in case the exact model is not being sold anymore. I learned that the hard way with a design in 2023, and with Galatea I have had it happen twice, once before Galatea v1 with the speaker, and recently with the Pleasure Unit, the latter because it had some other sellers, but not too many. TL:DR, with third party devices in open source designs, make sure there are several sellers easily found, across multiple websites.
>>37666 My words turned out to be prophetic, since these new Tariffs will raise the price of certain sources. I myself am slightly modifying Galatea to have a "Tariff-proof" design.

MaidCom0 is coming along well. The plan is for her shell to be 5 pieces that fit within 200mm^2 build plate area. Though, I could get it to 175mm^2 without her ass and tiddies. Everything else fits well within 175mm^2, so I'm considering making them add-ons. To keep myself on track, she will be limited to the feature set of Femisapien scaled to 150cm with skates rather than walking. I find the limitation both frustrating and inspiring. My inner engineer always wants to push boundaries, but they're also why MaidCom is years behind schedule.
>>37668 >MaidCom0 Oh cool!! I personally think there's a lot of wisdom in this approach, Kiwi. The old adage: >"Start smol, grow big." is just as true today! :^) Keep moving forward. Cheers.

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.

>>37519 Not yet, but I'm thinking of making an "advertisement" for her
>>37520 Please do this, Anon.
I deleted the original Galatea thread to make room for new threads, such as Galatea v3, since all the v1 files were all lost.
