>>33344 About 1 to 2 hours, 4 or more sometimes.. You'll notice there's an anker 737 usb c battery bank there to extend its life sitting on the bottom. Works decently well. It's a samsung cob led tile setup on a custom robo base not too dissimilar to a roomba. There's a Webcam pointing behind it. Unfortunately it's a bit too zoomed in. Ocutan is the other vtuber in my video. She's alpha keyed into a obs scene basically and walking on the spot.

>>33358 Oh the mesh on the back houses a standard pc. It's pretty decently heavy but not crazy. Think like power wheelchair, about 50% of that. Btw asay and mashiro project were also there. I got to hold her hand. https://x.com/masiro_project/status/1820438977012523117?t=2hx_hpmJIXC0UUiPm-iRDQ&s=19 Come to vketreal sometime. You won't regret it. There's a photogrammetry scan of the event space in vrchat with a photogrammetry scan of masiro projects robot too.

>>33341 >>33342 >>33343 Welcome, Anon! Please have a look around the board while you're here. If you'd like, please let us know a bit more about yourself in our Embassy thread : ( >>2823 ). >If you have questions I can probably answer them. Apart from Kiwi's questions, I'd just add, "How are you working on adapting a fix to your 'sliding' problem?" Regardless, good luck with your projects work. Please keep us here all up to date on your progress! Cheers. :^)

>>33367 Oh I've been here a long time. Define sliding: this is used as a vruber platform most of all.

>>33373 Oh! Great to hear it, Anon. >Define sliding An animation term. Basically where the feet don't appear to stay 'planted' during walking/running/etc, but rather appear to 'slide' along the surface. Common beginner issue for budding animators doing their first walk-cycles. Confer this first hit [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4Oqjnnm8XA If I were tasked with solving this for that platform, I'd probably begin with obtaining some practical odometry reading (the wheels themselves having an encoder of some fashion?) Then I'd use some kind of camera frustum projection down onto the virtual plane in the waifu's world. Then I'd just adjust her animation motion-curves in her walk cycle to match your realworld with her virtual one. Make sense, Anon? --- 1. search term : >"animation how to fix foot "sliding" during walk cycles Blender"

I've been looking at making molds but trying to make it with the cheapest stuff I can find and thought of paper mache. I want to do some boat stuff mods for fiberglass. The traditional way to make forms with wood and fiberglass is super expensive. One way to get large forms with curves is a technique called "fabric formwork". Using that search term (look at images for links) you can find these super awesome fabric forms they use to make kick ass concrete stuff. Buildings, bridges, all sorts of stuff. They use that fabric that is used for silt control on construction sites. Make a form that drapes and fill with concrete. The water drains out leaving a super strong, and very curvy good looking concrete item when hard. https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.4324/9781315675022/fabric-formwork-book-mark-west I was thinking of large boat structures, making forms with this draping technique, then using these forms to vacuum form fiberglass. The same could be used for waifus. So I look around for paper mache to make cheap forms and found the mother of all paper mache sites run by this nice Grandma, or so she says. Here's a link to her 40, paper mache recipes. All sorts. She has a nice clay type that can be used to model like modeling clay. I suspect that you could model waifus a lot faster with an actual material like this than using a computer and then printing it out. And super, super cheap compared to the tech way. Here's a link to her recipes list. Some are water proof some lower cost, some stiffer, all sorts with videos. https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/recipes-for-paper-mache If you scroll down this page she gives some good references to sculpting books and resources. She also has some good sculpting ideas. From that page and others of hers you will find a number of methods for sculpting. Once you have these sculpted you can make molds for them. https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-armature-patterns Here's another site on Tor where you can find books on sculpting, human anatomy and even books on skeletons. This one site has enough data in books to cover most any referencing you need to make models of, skeleton, muscles, etc.

>>33119 Great stuff. Helpful.

>>23844 >You are correct, I'm working on spherical actuators that should be scalable for use as a universal robotics joint. Just curious what the outcome of your research was, Anon. This would still be a tremendous benefit to us all to have 4 of these for the shoulders & hips.

>>33321 Added complexity and frankly, just simple pan tilt mechanisms ended up being better.

>>33318 Great stuff, Grommet. Thank you kindly! Cheers. :^) >>33322 Understood. We'll arrive at good solutions for everything in the end. Let's all do our best -- Gambatte!! :^)

>>28072 >But if that code is GPL -alike, then unfortunately he very likely cannot. I'm still not sure about this, and rather skeptical. The pivot point is what counts as "linking". You can make hardware and sell it with GPL software, the crucial question is to which extent it can interact with proprietary software or software with other licences. I'm pretty sure you can have something in GPL and then modules with other licensing.

As incredibly-distasteful as the entire concept is, I present M*zilla's MPL into the milieu ITT. [1] <---> The reason is simple: it's the license that Eigen uses. [2] >tl;dr We're going to need a compact little Quaternion library for our robowaifu character-control rigs (ie, something that runs fast+safe on a smol SBC like the RPi). Eigen's is well-banged-on by the industry for many years (viz. Blender, et al), and it's permissible to extract it for use within an MIT-licensed codebase (ie, smol business-friendly). AUUUUUGHHH! :^) --- 1. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/ 2. https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page#License >=== -minor edit

>>29015 Neat! Very-useful, NoidoDev. Thanks & cheers. :^)

>>10718 >>33254 >tl;dr You can include version2 of the MPL into non-restrictive licensed works such as MIT or BSD ones.

>>9053 >Unfixed center of mass in design: as in "megaman" robots (and the Roll example), center of mass is drawn to the Boots, which themselves could be weighted further. (for "intimate" times the boots could be taken off to reveal more human-like feet, when sitting comfortably or lying down, etc). Somehow came up with this exact same idea yesterday or so, so I might as well voice my support for it here. Seems like it would make it easier for the robot to balance if the center of gravity was made closer to the feet, even if it makes the bot 20+ lbs heavier.

Dont really have robotics or simulation experience but cheat mode Black boots with one rubber wheel per foot to walk in a manner giving illusion of walking with feet very close to ground. This can be done with wheel mid foot for heel strike mimicking or forefoot for using the heels as a stable ground and do a forefoot walk with front wheels dragging along and heel raised. There is a few options for more on monster girl side of design such as a dragging dragon tail for extra backward support with or without a wheel in it or a monkey tail tripod leg that walks as a third smaller supportive limb There is disabled approach too such as not walking at all using a wheelchair or vehicle or walks with cane, walker or crutches. Embrace tradition reject bipedal and crawls on hands and kneeds going "nyan nyan nyan" or "wan wan wan wan" :3 bipedal but not quite human mimetic Gyroscopic balancing is an obvious option but it also will add weight and likely cant be entirely relied on but can at least help in some situations if there is room for it. Similar to OPs mention of a deer girl what about a harpy with backward bending bird legs? A bit creepy but kinda cute maybe? "bladeless" fans using air propulsion to aid in balancing. By bladeless I mean hiding the blades for safety reasons. This has obvious down side of increased noise and likely is not that energy efficient.

>>30137 I probably should have started with this in reverse order I wrote but i wanted easiest to harder methods as order. Looks like I didnt realize the Hyperleg was already posted in here so I didnt need to link to YouTube when referencing it.

>>32997 A glitch in the sodium prussian blue battery. Not as good Wh/kg. Basically between lead acid and Li-ion. 70Wh/kg. Though this is not really a total disadvantage. Especially if it is cheap. The advantages of it are very high.

>>32997 >>33013 >doesn't catch fire That's all I need to hear. Less energy density is a perfectly acceptable tradeoff for not having to worry about catastrophic battery failure when I'm cuddling mai waifu.

I've been thinking about skin for a while and come up with one, slightly, odd, idea to mass produce skin. I've always been amazed by that NASA flexible metal chain mail that can be 3D printed. https://www.wired.com/story/nasa-fabric-chain-mail-from-the-future/ As I was looking at the resolution of some of the 3D resin printers I realized the resolution on these things is super high. I think even the the lower level ones are high enough resolution that you could 3D print "molds" for these chain mail structures with reasonably fine detail. Look at the above link and then imagine putting down individual layers. You would have to have thin mask and then squeegee on the material in layers, but the printer could make structures small enough to be a fairly good skin. So here I have some data on printer minimum printing spec, >>31727 Even a cheap one can get XY Resolution (7680*4320) 0.0285mm So let's say to be safe we make a minimum line width of three times resolution we get 0.0855mm and if to get good definition on the little loops on the back side we make 50 divisions of this dimension we get

>>33010 Part of the problem is, that these would ideally be made out of soft plastics, though something flexible would still be better than a hard shell. It would also make more sense if we could use them to integrate the skin sensors. Otherwise, just using some textile (with silicone) makes more sense. I know, you don't like silicone, but except for opening the waifu up for repairs I prefer this route. If you want to use this underneath a textile skin it would be cutting down on some internal silicone rubber or some foam there, but it seems to be labor intensive.

>>33027 >Part of the problem is, that these would ideally be made out of soft plastics, though something flexible would still be better than a hard shell I beg to differ. I would make the skin hard. One idea I have is to use cellulose blown insulation for attics you can get at big box hardware stores and mix with tightbond type 3 plastic glue. Cotton fiber would also work but more expensive. This is very much like the car bodies they made in the Soviet Union in east Germany. "Duraplast". This stuff last forever. BUT below the flexible, but hard, skin you have some sort of cushion. Push ion the skin and it does not break, is smooth if your segments are small enough and sort of slick like real skin. But the flexible backing makes it feel like real skin, body. Thanks for the pictures and, they do look awful. I believe that the actual product will not have those black lines that make the divisions so prominent but, who knows. Not done yet. here's some pictures no face but they look ok to me. http://static.wixstatic.com/media/b0a32e_e0135700e1ee432683d5729494241a9e~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_630,h_390,al_c/b0a32e_e0135700e1ee432683d5729494241a9e~mv2.png https://squeakychimp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/silver-metal-chain-mail-face-mask-neck-gaiter-headband-800x1000.jpg https://insertface.com/fb/1101/chainmail-dress-face-swap-1100786-rsxb4-fb.jpg https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.bYNUpvPqkMb34IrWTtTwogAAAA%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=3f528da1c45341cea38931ea9ff850fbfc50973d1594332c3ea1ca634dac3b9c&ipo=images

I was trying find examples and realized you made one that's very close to what I'm looking for. The blue cracked skin girl image-97 >>32855 http://bhlnasxdkbaoxf4gtpbhavref7l2j3bwooes77hqcacxztkindztzrad.onion/.media/c6e34bc1b8caa7e717464dff8cf05b5312d3120ead1701cba3ad92bc70e55d60.jpg Look at the lips up close. This is very much like old school footballs. Little small bumps which I think could be made with these high resolution resin printers. The advantage of this is you get a tough wear resistant outer shell that when pushed in is compliant. I think it would feel very nice. I think with the right material it could feel somewhat like a woman. When you rub on them the little hairs and the oils make touching them smooth. This would be close I think. And Women feel great. It would also be easy to embed paint or color and have it a part of the skin. Not easily removed. And yes I hate silicon. It feels icky, sticky, is impossible to keep clean. Now silicon "under" the skin for compliance, that's fine.

Just for fun I took a caliper, spread it to match my lips/mouth, horizontal, I then set the blue crack skin girls picture to match the size of my lips/mouth. Then I measured the bumps and came up with 1.5mm bumps. That's definitely doable. So you could get a smoothness of the blue cracked skin girls skin. I expect you could do better with very careful work. I don't think her face looks bad at all and if the robowaifu was white or pink the bumps would not show up near as much on the first place. And realistically the plates of the skin will not be these hard lines of larger models. You could make octagons but round the edges and have them smooth and slightly, very slightly, raised center surfaces like the blue girls skin.
