Robowaifu Media Propaganda and Merchandizing Anon 01/29/2023 (Sun) 22:15:50 No.19295 [Reply] [Last]

That Time I Incarnated My Christian Cat Girl Maid Wife in a Short Dress Together we can create the robowaifu-verse! Let's start making media to further our cause. There's tremendous potential for us to reach a wide market and prime minds to accept their future cat grill meidos in tiny miniskirts. We have text based stories floating around but, audio and visuals are paramount to gain a general audience. I will start with a short about a young man building a small cat girl and learning to understand her love. Importantly, she will be very limited, in the same way our first models will be. To set certain expectations. Mahoro is impossible but, the slow and simple robowaifus that can exist have their own charm. Let's show the world the love that will soon exist. --- >thread-related Robowaifu Propaganda and Recruitment (>>2705) >=== -add related crosslink

How can an AI be trusted? How could we prove that our AI is trustworthy? How would demonstrate that people should put their trust in the works of our members? What methods would we use to convey this to a wide audience? I still plan to post videos of myself with a prototype MaidCom once she is presentable. We need more, we need widespread belief that our way is safe, trustworthy, and worthy of public use. We also need to prove that Claude, Gemini, and other competing AI are less worthy. We need to open a path where FOSS AI is the mainstream. We need to do so fast, strike before they can regulate us into obscurity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUkHhVYv3jU

God alone do I really trust with everything (or so I claim lol; how can one really know until 'everything' is put to the actual test? :^) But that's a matter of my own faith in God's deeds and words (which are innumerable!) So I think the >tl;dr here rightly is: We can't. Probably not the answer you wanted, but it's the one you need -- and it saves me literal years of fruitless searching (just like the fabled King, lol!) <---> OTOH, we have no excuses not to make our works as trustworthy and reliable as we can.

Henlo anons, Stumbled here via youtube rabbit hole & thought I'd share my little side project. Started out as just an elaborate way to do some mech R&D (making a system to generate animation files on windows blender and export/transfer them to a raspberry pi system) and found tinkering with the various python libraries a kinda neat way to pass the time when whether doesn't permit my outside mech work. Plus I'd end up with a booth babe that I don't have to pay or worry about running off with a convention attendee. Currently running voice commands via google speech and chatgpt integration but I'm looking into offline/local stuff like openchat. WEF and such are so desperate to make a totalitarian cyberpunk dystopia I might as well make the fun bits to go along with it. And yes. Chicks do dig giant robots.

I got the idea from the "concrete fabric formworks" guys. Type that in search and look at some of the images. It's wild what they are doing. Low cost, high quality(most of the water drains out leaving far stronger concrete due to compaction) and they can do structures that the loads are designed in the form to be exactly where they are needed. Due to the curvature of the form it automatically forms the correct reinforcement where needed.

The Sumomo Project Chobitsu Board owner 11/24/2021 (Wed) 17:27:18 No.14409 [Reply] [Last]

So I've been working for a while at devising an integrated approach to help manage some of the software complexity we are surely going to encounter when creating working robowaifus. I went down many different bunny trails and (often) fruitless paths of exploration. In the end I've finally hit on a relatively simplistic approach that AFAICT will actually allow us to both have the great flexibility we'll be needing, and without adding undue overhead and complexity. I call this the RW Foundations library, and I believe it's going to help us all out a lot with creating workable & efficient software that (very hopefully) will allow us to do many things for our robowaifus using only low-end, commodity hardware like the various single-board computers (SBCs) and microcontrollers. Devices like the Beaglebone Blue and Arduino Nano for example. Of course, we likely will also need more powerful machines for some tasks as well. But again, hopefully, the RW Foundations approach will integrate smoothly with that need as well and allow our robowaifus to smoothly interoperate with external computing and other resources. I suppose time will tell. So, to commemorate /robowaifu/'s 5th birthday this weekend, I've prepared a little demonstration project called Sumomo. The near-term goal for the project is simply to create a cute little animated avatar system that allows the characters Sumomo and Kotoko (from the Chobits anime series) to run around having fun and interacting with Anon. But this is also a serious effort, and the intent is to begin fleshing out the real-world robotics needs during the development of this project. Think of it kind of like a kickstarter for real-world robowaifus in the end, but one that's a very gradual effort toward that goal and a little fun along the way. I'll use this thread as a devblog and perhaps also a bit of a debate and training forum for the many issues we all encounter, and how a cute little fairybot/moebot pair can help us all solve a few of them. Anyway, happy birthday /robowaifu/ I love you guys! Here is my little birthday present to you. === >rw_sumomo-v211124.tar.xz.sha256sum 8fceec2958ee75d3c7a33742af134670d0a7349e5da4d83487eb34a2c9f1d4ac *rw_sumomo-v211124.tar.xz >backup drop

>>33843 >Blender does a lot of relevant things to support high performance, hard and soft realtime requirements, and heterogeneous development. Not sure what you mean about realtime in Blender's case, but otherwise fair enough. It's a remarkable system today! :^) >Blender's design docs I've seen these in the past, but since I stopped actively building Blender 2-3 years ago, I kind of let it slip my mind. So thanks for the reminder. I personally like Blender's documentation efforts, though I've heard some disagree. Not-uncommonly, this is one of those tasks that get pushed to the 'back burner', and is often left to volunteer work to accomplish. Given the breadth & scope of the platform, I'd say the Blender Foundation has done a yeoman's job at the doco work, overall. Very passable. <---> Also, reading that link reminded me of USD. NVIDIA is currently offering developers their version of free training on this topic, and I've been pondering if I can make the time to attend. A huge amount of the DCC industry has come together to cooperate on Pixar's little baby, and today it's a big, sprawling system. Why it's of interest to us here is that most of what a robowaifu will need to do to analyze and construct models of her 'world' is already accounted for inside this system. While there are plenty of other (often higher-speed) ways to accomplish the same (or nearly the same) tasks, the fact that USD has become such a juggernaut, with a highly-regimented approach to scene descriptions, and with such broad approval, improves the likelihood IMO that other Anons from the film & related industries may in fact be able to help us here once they discover robowaifus in the future -- if we're already using USD to describe her world and the things within it.

>>33845 >Not sure what you mean about realtime in Blender's case This page looks relevant: https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/cycles/render_scheduling/ Blender does progressive rendering, which starts by rendering low-resolution frames. If there's extra time left over before a frame needs to be rendered, it generates more samples to generate a higher-resolution frame. The equivalent for video generation at a fixed framerate would be running a small number of denoising steps for the next frame, and running additional denoising steps if the next frame doesn't need to be rendered yet. For text generation at a fixed token rate, it would be equivalent to doing speculative decoding for the initial response, then using (maybe progressively) larger models if the next token doesn't need to be output yet. For a cognitive architecture with a fixed response rate, I think the equivalent would be generating an initial response, then continually refining the response based on self-evaluations & feedback from other modules until the the response needs to be output. >USD Very nice. I hadn't heard of this. It looks like a goldmine of information. Your explanation does make sense, and it's a great example of the sort of design patterns that I expect would be useful, in this case for modeling the environment & context.

>>33850 OK good point, CyberPonk. Such UX optimizations can fairly be said to be in the domain of soft-realtime. And certainly, integrating GPU processing code into the system to speed the rendering processes of Cycles & EEVEE has had major positive impacts. I personally think the fact that Ton chose to create the entire GUI for Blender in OpenGL all those years ago has had many far-reaching effects, not the least of which is general responsiveness of the system overall (especially as it has rapidly grown in complexity over the last few years). <---> >It looks like a goldmine of information Glad you like it! It's fairly easy to overlook that describing a scene is in fact a very-complex, nuanced, and -- I'm going to say it -- human undertaking. And when you consider that task from the deeply-technical aspect that USD (and we here) need to accommodate, then you wind up with quite a myriad of seeming-odd-juxtapositions. Until D*sney got their claws into it, Pixar was a one-of-a-kind studio, and well up to such a complicated engineering effort. I doubt they could do it as well today.

I already know we have a thread dedicated to books,videos,tutorials etc. But there are a lot of resources there and as a beginner it is pretty confusing to find the correct route to learn ML/DL advanced enough to be able contribute robowaifu project. That is why I thought we would need a thread like this. Assuming that I only have basic programming in python, dedication, love for robowaifus but no maths, no statistics, no physics, no college education how can I get advanced enough to create AI waifus? I need a complete pathway directing me to my aim. I've seen that some of you guys recommended books about reinforcement learning and some general books but can I really learn enough by just reading them? AI is a huge field so it's pretty easy to get lost. What I did so far was to buy a non-english great book about AI, philosophycal discussions of it, general algorithms, problem solving techniques, history of it, limitations, gaming theories... But it's not a technical book. Because of that I also bought a few courses on this website called Udemy. They are about either Machine Learning or Deep Learning. I am hoping to learn basic algorithms through those books but because I don't have maths it is sometimes hard to understand the concept. For example even when learning linear regression, it is easy to use a python library but can't understand how it exactly works because of the lack of Calculus I have. Because of that issue I have hard time understanding algorithms. >>5818 >>6550 Can those anons please help me? Which resources should I use in order to be able to produce robowaifus? If possible, you can even create a list of books/courses I need to follow one by one to be able to achieve that aim of mine. If not, I can send you the resources I got and you can help me to put those in an order. I also need some guide about maths as you can tell. Yesterday after deciding and promising myself that I will give whatever it takes to build robowaifus I bought 3 courses about linear alg, calculus, stats but I'm not really good at them. I am waiting for your answers anons, thanks a lot!

Like move here, pick up this, etc If I remember right Mark Tilden referred to this as "horse and rider" setup, where you have a high level program giving direction to a lower level program. The lower level worries about not stepping in a hole, etc while the high level worries about where the pair are going. I too have experienced the boons of separating different functions into different programs/AI. To give a real life example of what you're talking about: my voice recognition AI doesn't like to run in the same program as the image recognition AI. I've experienced some programs running at different speeds, eg: on a raspi takes half a second for the image recognition to run, while the servo program can run like 2 dozen times a second while it is running, and the voice detection pauses the program until words are heard (or a 5 second timeout), so these different speeds/natures of the code requires separation, which in turn requires developing a way to communicate with each each program. >>33746 >Starting Best way to start is looking for a code/library that does what you want (like image recognition), and try tweaking it to fit your needs, like making it interact with other programs eg if an object is recognized in an image, move a servo.

The reason is simple: timing of interactions -- particularly verbal ones -- clearly affects the social perceptions of those (for all parties involved). >tl;dr < If it takes our robowaifus more than half a second to begin to respond to her Master's engagements, then we've waited too long...

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.

>>33727 Yes. Print a series of interlocking tabs/flats (for tabs) on the backs of each panel. Print a base ring around her waist (for support) that the first row of interlocked panels go down into. Then progressively build up the next row of interlocked panels, etc. Make sense Kiwi?

>>33728 Could you provide some visual to go with your idea? What I imagine based on your response would still have the issue of the TPU parts stretching out of the connectors.

>>33730 >What I imagine based on your response would still have the issue of the TPU parts stretching out of the connectors. Yes, that would be an issue. I'd suggest experimenting with some non-panel test strips of tabs/flats, with a running series of matched sets that get progressively longer. Then you can just fiddle with them by hand to get a feel of what length will stay secure. Also, you might decide that each flat could use a leading 'guide slot' (kind of like a belt going through it's attached loop to stay snug) the tab could slide down into to keep it nicely secured into that matching flat. Also, you might decide to have a series of rings running up the (torso, say) to provide supports for the rows of panels both above and below. Kind of like Victorian hoop dresses were. As for the basic concept, there are lots of storage bins that have a series of interlocking tabs/flats on the two lid halves. When you close the two halves of the lid, they interlock together (one tab to one flat) and it provides passive rigidity. Also I can't post images while Robi has file posting blocked for Torfags (this is also why I can't bake new breads rn). Sorry. :P >=== -add 'guide slot' cmnt

>>32794 Managed to do a bit of more work on the skull design. The jaw is shown with cylinders for holding teeth, but this could be switched out with simple teeth in the design, or holes for holding other ones. It can relatively easily be changed. Though, changing the number or anything is still a bit more difficult than I'd like. Whatever, that's the case for many things. I always hope I can make something that I can change by some variables, but it turns out to be more complex with interdependencies.

Bipedal Robot Locomotion General Robowaifu Technician 09/15/2019 (Sun) 05:57:42 No.237 [Reply] [Last]

We need to talk about bipedal locomotion. It's a complicated topic but one that has to be solved if we are ever to have satisfyingly believable robowaifus. There has surely already been a lot of research done on this topic, and we need to start digging and find the info that's out there. There are some projects that have at least partial robolegs solutions working, but none that I know of that look very realistic yet. We likely won't come up with some master-stroke of genius and solve everyone's problems here on /robowaifu/, but we should at least take a whack at it who knows? We certainly can't accomplish anything if we don't try.

I personally believe we should be keeping the weight out of the extremities – including the legs – while other anons think that we should add weight to the feet for balance. What's you're ideas anon? How do we control the gait? How do we adjust for different conditions? What if our robowaifu is carrying things? What about the legs during sex? Should we focus on the maths behind MIP (Mobile Inverted Pendulum), or is there a different approach that would be more straightforward? A mixture? Maybe we can even do weird stuff like reverse-knee legs that so many animals have. Robofaun waifu anyone? What about having something like heelys or bigger wheels in the feet as well?

I'm pretty sure if we just put our heads together and don't stop trying, we'll eventually arrive at least one good general solution to the problem of creating bipedal robot legs.

Thanks for all the YouTube links, but please add some some description when posting. Ideally more than one line. These videos have a text description on YouTube which can be copied. With ">" you can quote it, though make sure to put this in front of each paragraph when doing so. Cheers.
