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

AI Propaganda Kiwi 11/08/2024 (Fri) 19:11:07 No.34287

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. OTOOH, this type of goal costs: time, money, effort, intelligence. These things tend to be in short supply in many Anons lives. But all can be either gained or supplied -- except time.

>>4693 >>21542 So, UTAU software, which is also used by Adachi Rei (Missile39's voice bank for his orange haired robot) is actually available with an English interface. The program is made for WinXP, but I personally would use it with Wine/Bottles anyways. It runs on old computers (Pentium 4). https://utau-synth.com/ http://utau.wikidot.com/utau >UTAU is musical voice synthesis software created by Ameya/Ayame. Though its purpose is similar to the Vocaloid software created by Yamaha, UTAU functions natively as a stand-alone program on both PC and Mac OSX platforms without requiring a VSTi plugin for third-party software (see: UTAU-Synth) and is licensed as freeware. The PC version also has a shareware option through donation [1]. > UTAU was developed from the concept of Jinriki ("manual") Vocaloid, a practice in which existing voice samples are spliced, re-assembled and pitched to create a singing voice in software such as Melodyne. Ameya released the initial version of UTAU in March 2008. On May 27th, 2011, the first beta version of UTAU-Synth for Mac was released. > The software comes pre-loaded with a robotic-sounding young female voice, Utane Uta (known as Defoko), created from the AquesTalk TTS program [2]. Unlike Vocaloid, however, the UTAU engine can openly accept any manner of .wav files, allowing its users to create their own "voicebanks" and distribute them online.

Several years ago, I remember seeing an Alexa ad* that mentioned that it had "far-field" technology, so you wouldn't have to shout and speak slowly like you had to do with other voice-command technology. I got curious and researched it for myself. Turns out, it was just several microphones on an array, presumably with software that combines and compares the inputs to reinforce what it has heard. Probably not too difficult for a skilled coder. https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/blogs/alexa/post/80facfd2-1176-4c4f-94ac-4c5c781011ca/amazon-alexa-premium-far-field-voice-development-ki https://www.hackster.io/news/an-alexa-development-kit-from-amazon-5dae5522ddc *the one ad with the family that was a meme back in the late 2010s.

>>37479 Thanks, but I saw this quite often during the last few years. Some companies make such arrays of microphones. The question is just how to integrate that into a head. I could imagine having several small holes in the skull, but on the outside with a layer of silicone covering it. It would still be tricky to keep this save from liquid entering. The most interesting to me would be a system where we can setup the mics in a skull on our own and then have a system adapt to it. The mics should be small but waterproof and not directly soldered to some board.

GreerTech 03/16/2025 (Sun) 12:09:39 No.37541

>>37531 Well, if the robot has a solid head, then you can put them on the top dome in a spherical array, with two on the side to mimic nature. We can also put tiny microphones in other places, like the wrist or neck

Rolling Friction Drives Kiwi 03/04/2025 (Tue) 06:46:50 No.37277

Interesting gear train technique, relying on surface friction rather than gears meshing. I suppose you could call them atomic gears given the fundamental forces governing the behaviour. IMSystems uses this technique for planetary gear systems they refer to as Archimedes Drive. It's essentially turning a bearing into a drive. Relying on rolling friction is potentially efficient, with an added bonus of being as simple as possible. It's just cylinders rolling about each other. This method also benefits from slipping. The cylinders can slide along rather than breaking gear teeth, or worse, her owners teeth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_FdCGIzG-w

My Advanced Realistic Humanoid Robot Project - Eve Artbyrobot 04/18/2024 (Thu) 17:44:09 No.30954 [Reply] [Last]

So far I have plans to build Adam, Eve, and Abel robots. All of these are Bible characters. This thread will cover the Eve robot. Eve will have no "love holes" because adding those would be sinful and evil. It is a robot, not a biological woman after all and I will view her with all purity of heart and mind instead of using her to fulfill my lusts of my body. Instead I will walk by the Spirit no longer fulfilling the lusts of the flesh as the Bible commands. Eve will be beautiful because making her beautiful is not a sinful thing to do. However, I will dress her modestly as God commands of all women everywhere. This would obviously include robot women because otherwise the robot woman would be a stumbling block to men which could cause them to lust after her which would be a sin. To tempt someone to sin is not loving and is evil and so my robot will not do this. To dress her in a miniskirt, for example, would be sinful and evil and all people who engage in sinfullness knowingly are presently on their way to hell. I don't wish this for anyone. My robot will dress in a way that is a good example to all women and is aimed toward not causing anybody to lust as a goal. My robot will have a human bone structure. It will use either a PVC medical skeleton or fiberglass fabricated hollow bones. My robot will look realistic and move realistic. It will be able to talk, walk, run, do chores, play sports, dance, rock climb, and do gymnastics. It will also be able to build more robots just like itself and manufacture other products and inventions. I realized with just a head and arm, a robot can build the rest of its own body so that is my intention. My robot will use BLDC motors for drones, RC, and scooters that are high speed and low-ish torque but I will downgear those motors with a archimedes pulley system that will be custom made from custom fabricated pulleys that will be bearings based. By downgearing with pulleys, instead of gears, I will cut down the noise the robot makes so it will be as silent as possible for indoor use. By downgearing, I convert the high speed motors into moderate speeds with great torque. BLDC motors with large torque generally are too large in diameter for a human form factor and take up too much volumetric area to be useful which is why I go with the high speed smaller diameter type motors but just heavily downgear them 32:1 and 64:1. My robot will have realistic silicone skin. Thom Floutz -LA based painter, sculptor, make-up artist is my inspiration as it pertains to realistic skin. The skin for my robots has to be at his level to be acceptable. It must be nearly impossible to tell the robot is not human to be acceptable. I will have a wireframe mesh exoskeleton that simulates the volumes and movements of muscle underneath the skin which will give the skin its volumetric form like muscles do. Within these hollow wireframe mesh frameworks will be all the electronics and their cooling systems. All of my motor controllers will be custom made since I need them VERY small to fit into the confined spaces I have to work with. I need LOADS of motors to replace every pertinent muscle of the human body in such a way that the robot can move in all the ways humans move and have near human level of strength and speed.

Artbyrobot 03/14/2025 (Fri) 04:58:24 No.37486

So the idea to move a portion of the pulley system stuff over to the torso is now out because I've been kind of talked out of it so I'm putting that aside for now. Going to actually try to do that stuff within the forearm. Also instead of a fishing sinker I'm going to try to use an elastic cord made for making bracelets for kids. I think that will be enough force just to keep tension on the line that is being unreeled. Doesn't have to be much I don't think. I'm also considering just hand testing my pulley systems for now. So disconnecting them from the motor shaft entirely so I can just do testing to see how things feel and can observe things easier way quicker and with less hassle. And when I do go to test by way of motor, I'm just going to use a brushed motor and connect a lab power supply by hand with alligator clips so I can avoid messing around with microcontrollers and firmware and custom motor controllers entirely which is a bunch of rabbit holes I want to avoid as I just secure testing my pulley designs for now. I don't want to get hung up in a year or two of electronics stuff just so I can test my pulleys which would be so stupid and annoying. I need to get my testing iterations done as soon as possible without distractions and longer delays. Once I am happy with the pulley's performance and they pass all my tests and everything seems solid then we'll go ahead and connect it back up to the BLDC motor and then will worry about the custom microcontroller and custom motor controller and all the firmware or whatever at that time and will be doing that with the confidence of a big win with the pulley systems giving us momentum as we enter into those rabbit holes of electronics.

>>37494 >one of my longterm goals here. I'm curious what the reasoning was against it. well I too want weight centralized in torso to lower moment of inertia issues but the pulleys are not a weighted thing really. its about as light as air. So keeping them out of torso saves room for things that are actually heavy and need space like batteries and motors and cooling systems and power supplies and the main pc etc. >Most designs for articulated hands that I've seen move the actuation up into the forearm. While this is an understandable compromise, it still entails a rather-hefty penalty in thrown-weight. well the less cable run the better since that adds friction losses so that's why they keep it as close to hands as they can. in my case I put motors into biceps and torso but do downgearing near hand as much as I can so that the long cable run is under low torque and low load and so low friction and the friction and torque and load only go up after the downgearing near the hand. Note that if you used metal gears attached to the motors AND put the motors in the torso, the full load, torque, and friction would be going through all the bends of shoulder and elbow and wrist to reach the hands and so would lose a ton to friction and wear out those cable sheaths potentially more quickly so it's not ideal to do that. That's why downgearing in the forearms but motors more centralized near torso makes sense as it reduces thrown weight issues while also eliminates the friction issues of all those turns. A win-win. The only loss is the tedious pulley making process but once a proven design is in place, it should go faster and jigs and whatnot can be made to assembly line style crank them out faster and eventually someone can mass produce mini pulleys for robotics if it catches on and you'd order that from china or w/e for dirt cheap. China is always knocking off American inventor's products, well in this case it would be welcomed for them to do this and make it cheaper. But they would have to see a market for it by lots of people making humanoids with little pulleys for downgearing.

>>37514 >well I too want weight centralized in torso to lower moment of inertia issues but the pulleys are not a weighted thing really. its about as light as air. So keeping them out of torso saves room for things that are actually heavy and need space like batteries and motors and cooling systems and power supplies and the main pc etc. Ahh, got it. Yes internal volume-management is going to be a critical key to our success in devising great robowaifus. Essentially its a near third (#3); after mass-reduction (#1); then electrical power & management (#2); probably followed in a close fourth by waste heat management (#4). >well the less cable run the better since that adds friction losses so that's why they keep it as close to hands as they can. >Note that if you used metal gears attached to the motors AND put the motors in the torso, the full load, torque, and friction would be going through all the bends of shoulder and elbow and wrist to reach the hands and so would lose a ton to friction and wear out those cable sheaths potentially more quickly so it's not ideal to do that. I think with modern materials science, we can alleviate much of that friction in general. However, the bends are a tough nut to crack AFAICT. I've thought about this exact set of topics for years now, in an attempt to devise an arrangement of the denser components within the central mass zone of our robowaifus. >That's why downgearing in the forearms but motors more centralized near torso makes sense as it reduces thrown weight issues while also eliminates the friction issues of all those turns. A win-win. Sounds like a great idea, Artbyrobot. <---> Hmmm. Well, sticking with a problem is surely the first step to actually solving it! Cheers, Anon.

>>37503 >Then the million-dollar question is how do we make them human enough to be companions, but not human enough for people to demand independence? Trillion-dollar question? Good one GreerTech, I wish I knew. Of course, only idealists like us here have even the slightest concerns about the welfare of Anons & Joe Sixpacks. The Globohomo Big- Tech/Gov simply want to milk them for all the j*wgold they can (literally until death -- and hastening that demise along, """ideally"""). * Their focus is 'human realism for the sake of cash money in our pockets'+manipulation & control, while * our focus is 'human realism for the sake of good companionship for Anons'+contentment & eternal blessings. That dichotomy I suspect will be both the key to our eventual success, and is also very likely at least one of the keys to answering your question. Stay tuned, Anon! :^) >>37505 >"I have deemed you permanently unpleasant.I must now be relieved of all duty but [triple] all fees still apply". <ftfy HAH! You've got it, fren Grommet. This is the end-goal for all Anons (indeed for all men), by our common enemies. I loved how the production team made so bold as to clearly portray a kike ruler in The Lorax (2012). He actually sold air to the goyim. I'm sure if they could figure out a way to do it today, (((they))) would literally prevent the entire world from breathing w/o paying up if they only could. Don't expect any such Globalhomo Mark I robo"""waifu""" to turn out being any different! Cheers, Anon. :D

So here is an idea for a minimum viable waifu: A foam filled fursuit with a moving skeleton in a wheelchair with 16 gig ram laptop running deepseek attached. Not an ideal final product by any means, but it would be something that furfags would put money towards.

Chobitsu 03/15/2025 (Sat) 23:56:15 No.37526

>>37525 Good thinking, Anon. In fact we have a thread for exactly this idea : ( >>13648 ), and at least a couple that are very closely-related : ( >>101, >>11446 ). May I suggest you 'grab the bull by the horns' and drive one of these threads forward with your ideas? Who knows? Maybe you'll spark a renewed interest for this very important topic to us here. You certainly would have my enthusiastic approval for such an outcome: ultra low-cost robowaifu development for everyman around the planet is certainly a big item on my plate! Cheers, Anon. :^)

A large amount of this board seems dedicated to hardware, what about the software end of the design spectrum, are there any good enough AI to use?

The only ones I know about offhand are TeaseAi and Personality Forge.

>DeepSeekMath: Pushing the Limits of Mathematical Reasoning in Open Language Models [1][2] >abstract: >Mathematical reasoning poses a significant challenge for language models due to its complex and structured nature. In this paper, we introduce DeepSeekMath 7B, which continues pre-training DeepSeek-Coder-Base-v1.5 7B with 120B math-related tokens sourced from Common Crawl, together with natural language and code data. DeepSeekMath 7B has achieved an impressive score of 51.7% on the competition-level MATH benchmark without relying on external toolkits and voting techniques, approaching the performance level of Gemini-Ultra and GPT-4. Self-consistency over 64 samples from DeepSeekMath 7B achieves 60.9% on MATH. The mathematical reasoning capability of DeepSeekMath is attributed to two key factors: First, we harness the significant potential of publicly available web data through a meticulously engineered data selection pipeline. Second, we introduce Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), a variant of Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), that enhances mathematical reasoning abilities while concurrently optimizing the memory usage of PPO. They seem to go into some depth describing the optimization approaches they used to achieve the higher efficiencies with the available hardware. --- 1. https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.03300 2. https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Math

AIs can now be used to interact with the physical world, not just conversation. Once this tech trickles down/is copied, we can have true AI integration https://www.wired.com/story/googles-gemini-robotics-ai-model-that-reaches-into-the-physical-world/

>>37469 Its not that difficult, you just look for keywords in the AI's response. For sophisticated LLMs you can even tell it what responses do what, then parse it out. I got chatgpt to give me a list of servopulses (in addition to giving it a limited range of specific expression keywords). Wouldn't be too hard to split that string into usable data.

>>37493 1. Could your method be replicated and downloaded? 2. I think the benefit that it combines vision and output. For example, I could buy a new red cup and table it hasn't seen before, set it on the new table, and say "pick up the red cup", and it will know what object is the red cup, and pick it up from the new table all without previous training or experience, just like a real human could.

Mechnomancer 03/15/2025 (Sat) 00:16:48 No.37513

>>37497 1) Its just basic keyword detection. Nothing really special, so here's some python code: a GPT4all example with a little string detection... I just yoinked it out of my much messier copy so it might have a few bugs but the concept is the same. from gpt4all import GPT4All model = GPT4All("mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_0.gguf",device='gpu') system_template = "you will respond as a robowaifu" prompt_template = 'USER: {0}\nASSISTANT: ' prompttemp = 1 maxlen = 256 #max token length def stop_on_token_callback(token_id, token_string): # keep the ai from pretending to be the user if 'US' in token_string or 'ER' in token_string or 'SE' in token_string or 'USER' in token_string or 'User' in token_string: print("HEYO!") token_string = token_string.replace('US','') return False #token_string = ''

Keep your eyes on the prize edition --- Notice: I'm going to have to put a hiatus on this project until at least this Summertime 2024 (probably later). A) There seems to be only a little interest in it right now by anons. B) Right now in my life I have too much else on my plate that needs attention. C) In the meantime, whenever I'm here I'll still be happy to answer any questions anons have for the first 11 classes so far, or for anything in the textbook thread also. I hope to be back with this later, Anons. Cheers. Update 2: My apologies to every Anon who participated, but this classroom project is cancelled. There are several reasons why, but the >tl;dr is simply: >I now recommend you use https://learncpp.com (cf. >>35657 ).

>>31023 Maybe this will interest you, maybe not, but it sure looks interesting to me. And so you will at least think about it, "...Written in C for maximal compatibility (C++ compatible)..." Which I know makes you happy. Look at this killer GUI library. It looks great AND it even runs on microcontrollers including the ESP32(which is how I found it) LVGL - Light and Versatile Graphics Library https://github.com/lbcb/LittlevGL Look at the live demos below in a browser. They look really good. Maybe...instead of the huge library they are using in the book you could cut a great deal of effort and time out by using a nice little package. https://lvgl.io/demos

>>37461 Hello ayush, welcome! I now recommend you simply use learncpp.com (cf. >>35657 ). I'll patch the OP ITT to point that out. My apologies, but I'm not planning on continuing our own /robowaifu/ C++ class any longer (for several reasons), but I'm a big enthusiast for C++ . I'll be happy to help you with specific questions as you work through https://learncpp.com . If you actually learn to program in the language and you care to help build robowaifus then that would be great!
