“If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination.

As I've mentioned numerous times here on /robowaifu/ , having a smol flotilla of drones for our robowaifus to increase situational awareness will be quite valuable. At last there is a consumer drone that should be able to fulfill this need in a stellar fashion: the DJI Neo 2 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=eHJLPAQuxz8

The important question Robowaifu Technician 09/18/2019 (Wed) 11:54:39 No.419 [Reply] [Last]
Vagoo. I can't speak for anyone but myself but I'd like to get.. intimate with my fembot. I'd like to know what my options are for her robopussy. I was thinking something like a flesh light with sensors that triggers voice and arm action. I'm using Myrobotlab is Anyone familiar with it?

>>45028 I feel vindicated as I've always argued for hot-swappalbe fleshlights (see >>35562). I think the Pringles can option is pretty bargin bin in terms of production value. If there was any part of a robot I would want to splurge on and pay a premium for, it would be the vagina hole for reasons which I think should be obvious. That being said, I don't think you need to break the bank with the HSO (hot swapable onahole). The Tenga Flip 0. I think would be a great canidate for the utilitarian needing a fuckable hole. Last I checked, it retails for roughly $100. The only issue is that lack of "squeeze" you would have by default which I think could be mitgated by haptic sensor triggering some pressure application. Simply open the pelvic gate after use, remove the HSO, open it up, run room temp water over the internals, dry it out, and reinsert it when you want to go again. It doesn't get much simpler than that. Supposedly they only last 6 months but I've been using one for over a year and it still gets the job done. I am due for a replacement though, it's starting to look rough around the edges (on the outside). Internally, it's still good.
>>45113 Thanks for the advice, Anon. Cheers.
>>45113 TBF, the can is just the housing, and I added a 3D printable tube of the same size in the latest release. I did put thought into the interior of it. And with open-source DIY designs, it's arguably easier to put squeezing internals. You can even do things beyond, like internal movement or vibration, and my version does have the latter. It's like Bad Dragon for (straight) men. One HUGE advantage that my design has is disposable lining. No disgusting enema procedure. Cleaning is as simple as disposing of a condom. I have no idea how fleshlight users can happily use their system while dealing with the impending disgusting enema routine. Honestly, besides the obvious matriarchal reasons, I think the hygiene aspect is one reason why fleshlights aren't more mainstream. >Supposedly they only last 6 months but I've been using one for over a year and it still gets the job done. I am due for a replacement though, it's starting to look rough around the edges (on the outside). Internally, it's still good. This is why foam and a hard plastic body are better; your gf doesn't decay after a year.
>>45155 >Cleaning is as simple as disposing of a condom. I actually consider this a critical design feature of your approach. Very surprising that AFAICT (in my admitted ignorance, perhaps), none of the onahole manufacturers have adopted it.

>>45155 >One HUGE advantage that my design has is disposable lining. No disgusting enema procedure. Not a problem for my Flip Zero either, it opens up for easy cleaning. That's one of the main selling points to me. >And with open-source DIY designs, it's arguably easier to put squeezing internals. You can even do things beyond, like internal movement or vibration, and my version does have the latter. Big if true. With the FZ, internal pressure can only be applied linearly by squeezing it. Of course, external pressure (where you enter) can also be tweaked by angling the toy to apply the ideal "crimp". To be fair, the FZ wasn't intended to be used as part of some internal housing but I figure it wouldn't be hard to slip it into one. >This is why foam and a hard plastic body are better; your gf doesn't decay after a year. I'd have to feel it on my dick before I gave you my seal of approval. Silicone hasn't done me wrong yet. Considering the amount of use I get out of a single Flip Zero, I think they endure abuse pretty well.

Galatea v3 Series: Maid Robot GreerTech 05/01/2025 (Thu) 00:54:37 No.38070 [Reply] [Last]
For the past year, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. Her name is Galatea. She's currently in the v3 Series. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, around $400 to make. She'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. As of this post, her latest version is v3.0.2 Previous thread: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/74.html

>>45110 POTD Cool. I think we already talked about 'interfacing' changes elsewhere. What's new about her arm? Also, red light as in helping you with sleep?
>>45111 They're at a slight angle now, it makes her look more natural and cute. Yes, red light as in sleep, but also in skin rejuvenation.
>>45112 I see. She is cute already, but I think its also a good idea to improve her towards being more natural as well. BTW, I missed asking you about the new head & base options?
>>45119 I received some constructive feedback on some of the head designs, they didn't like the nose, so I added variants with smaller noses. I also added base options for different types of robot vacuums.
>>45156 POTD Oh! Having options for your waifu(s) is very important IMO. The face in-particular is highly personal tastes. >I also added base options for different types of robot vacuums. Great! There are lots out there that might suffice (& even some DIY ones now). GG, Anon. Cheers.

Robowaifus in Media: Thread 03 GreerTech 09/10/2025 (Wed) 07:54:46 No.41434 [Reply]
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 threads, it's worth it: >>82 >>18711 - 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.

>>43717 a servo motor is technically a dc and a gearbox. A "integrated servo motor"/"servo motor" means dc + gearbox + motor controller + potentiometer all in a little box. But if you buy all these separately like you are talking about, yes you can get way bigger dc motor and gearbox so it'd be stronger and buying separately can sometimes be cheaper. Also buying separately lets you spread them out to have a more modifiable form factor custom to your use case rather than forced into a box that might be bad for your use case in its dimensions. However, technically, even buying it all separately, the final outcome can still be called a "servo motor" despite it NOT being purchased in a integrated package fit into a plastic box. Which is confusing to me. Like why not have separate names for all of this. We lack enough words in English to distinguish between things that are clearly different.
>>43728 Yeah it can be confusing, technically a servo is any motor/sensor/controller combo that allows for precision control of angular/linear position/speed/torque while colloquially it tends to refer to the funny little hobbyist packages that use pulse width modulation for positioning. For small scale buying prefab servo systems is viable, but for large loads (over 70kg) diy solutions would be cheaper. Hobby servo = specific form factor (pic rel) servo motor system = generic term, I guess.

>>43717 >>43728 >Why not have separate names? They do have separate names. As Mechnomancer mentioned, hobby servos are what you and most other people think of first. Hobby servos can then be divided by size Micro, standard, and Large Type of motor, feedback mechanism, voltage, speed, torque, etc... all are usually easily found as further differentiating factors. Non-hobby servos generally rely on DC for signaling and AC for running the motor and follow NEMA standards. >>43729 >Servo Any mechanism where feedback is used to regulate behaviour. >Servo Motor Any system wherein a motors beviour is regulated via feedback mechanism.

Power & Energy Robowaifu Technician 04/25/2025 (Fri) 22:16:32 No.37810 [Reply] [Last]
Power & Energy Robots require some form of energy to power them. We need to understand how to store energy in a way that will provide her with all the power she’ll need. To clarify, “energy” is a system's capacity to do work over time. This is measured by Wh, or Watt hour. Closely related is “power” the rate at which work is done. This is measured as W, or watts. As an example, we could have a robot with a 80Wh Lithium Ion battery and two DC gear motors that consume 10W when working. You do not need to rely solely on batteries and motors. We can use other methods of storing energy. This can include compressed fluids, thermal energy, and light, among other things. For instance, glow in the dark paint is useful for storing energy to use at night for safety. Solar panels or a generator can provide power through the energy of long distance nuclear fusion or extracting energy from some reaction. Being part of a robot means we need to consider safety, mass, and volume. How will her energy and power system fit inside her? How will she deal with the mass? What happens when she runs out of energy? How can you minimize her energy use? What alternatives can be used to lower her cost of production and ownership? These rhetorical questions are all important when contemplating how to build a robot.

aka "Does she know how to make a grilled cheese" One area that still needs to be researched for fully-capable robowaifus is the manipulation of objects and the knowledge/ability of how to do those tasks in a relatively random and uncontrolled environment. Hardware is part of it, but mostly what's needed is software. Consider this, if you make perfect robot arms for your robowaifu, what can you actually do with them? Here's a good example of where we are now in the DIY space.
