Robowaifu Psychology Thread Robowaifu Technician 05/07/2020 (Thu) 09:27:27 No.2731 [Reply]

I hope to have useful links and images in the future, this is just a quickly thrown together glorified character sheet maker at this point. Ok so you can program, but HOW to make her thoughts work? At least on a creative level. I don't have much to contribute other than my rather obsessive what-ifs, I hope this is useful somehow. A few questions you might want to ask yourself before typing up some kind of bio or writing down conversations and quotes you imagine she would say are... 1. How close to the canon do I want to be? 2. How much canon is there? 3. How would I want to make her mine vs someone else's interpretation of the same character? Take note of those answers, if your memory sucks record them in a method you are comfortable with. I think typing might be faster for most. And you might want to revisit what you wrote here sometimes when making certain personality design choices. Use your answers here as a basic guide. For the most part, just go through writer's sites for character questionnaires. And before you omit a question, think of how could you use the basics of what it is asking to build your waifu's personality? For example, if a question rubs you off the wrong way politically, still use that question. But answer in your own way or even reword the question. Some of these types of questions are supposed to make you think hard about what shaped your character's dislikes, which is still important to what makes a person themselves. You may need to revisit some of these or even omit certain ones entirely. But try to figure out how to get that info in somehow later. This process can take a long time and be frustrating, but I think it has a place in the waifubot creation experience. Also, try think how would your waifu react if the story went differently at some point. This can get really dramatic real easy, but it doesn't have to. Just start with simple things like what would she say if asked to tell a joke? What does she find funny? What does she find cringey? Things like that, and don't be afraid to make what they call a 'brain dump'. Pretty much just type with minimal breaks and type everything that comes to your mind about the topic. You might get some useful info amongst the 'why am I doing this?' 'I need to take a shit' quotes. Also just use some of those story prompts. Also, try to use the more realistic day to day ones, like things that could happen in real life. Less exciting but pretty sure you aren't going on fantasy journeys with her IRL. Using these types of prompts will give her more to say on mundane everyday things, vs Skyrim politics. (But that could be fun sometimes)

>>31691 >>>physiognomy should be taken seriously because it used to be >physiognomy should be taken seriously because it used to be This here is like a tavern, not a club where everyone thinks exactly the same. I know, that the current state of science seems to be that physiognomy is BS. Though, I also don't have time or interest to look into such unrelated topics in detail. I don't know why this is even here. I brought up psychology and personality traits, as a useful tool for configuring a freshly build robowaifu AI. Also, because it would be great to have a way for her to internally represent people. Over time she could just forget details about a person, but she could just keep that element and remember that person vaguely without storing any specific details. This here >>30862 is the relevant topic. In theory, people could think about how to implement that and work on it as one specific problem that can be solved with some module. Instead of just allegedly working on their completely separate and complete implementation of "AGI". But I will most likely have to do it on my own with the help of ChatGPT or something similar. >not that you could figure anything out and actually accomplish anything anyway Yeah, well. Don't bother us then. We will find the information we need and will accomplish what we want to. I'm of course not the only one who had the idea that connecting LLMs with software might be the way to go. I only saw AI researchers are now going this route, since the scaling paradigm might slow down. So, if we don't do it, then others will guide us half the way.

>>31731 Twitter's business model like most website based tech companies was always advertising revenue. If they lose advertisers they lose revenue. A company who's entire business is selling a product of identifying people as so it claimed would be criminals by AI facial analysis would not sabotage it's only way of making money. Yes, the iron thing is one theory but it also has to do with women having smaller body mass which would reduce cancer rates and they also have stronger immune systems because of hormonal differences among a few other reasons they probably live longer in most cases. That's beside the point, read into how George Washington died. He was ill and he demanded more and more blood removed from him and he grew weaker and weaker as result. I was suggesting how physiognomy was just a result of confirmation bias and limitations in medical equipment at the time later replaced with brain scans. It only existed because brain scans did not exist at the time and it was just guess work at brain formation on the assumption the skull would give the information which was often quite off since there is only so much from that. You're either shifting goalposts on the definition of race away from it's common usage or just know nothing of genetics and are too stubborn to learn anything. It is a completely off topic matter which has nothing to do with psychology of a robowaifu, but if you really want to put some sort of face reading judgment program if it worked that will only work against you and you would spend money on a robowaifu just for her to reject you.

You're not fooling me a bit. I say that genetics, race and physiognomy are valid methods to statistically predict behavioral traits of different populations. And don't give me this,"well this individual this, and that", you know this is not what I speak of. You, well you talk about bleeding George Washington. I know very well what you are trying to do.

>>31689 That's actually why I mentioned the Genetics part, for self-repair and the ability to self-replicate. If a robot has all the technical knowledge of what's needed to repair and replace every component of it's own body, and has the dexterity needed to work all the tools needed to do so, they can multiply near exponentially like grey goo only limited by the time, energy and materials available to do it. The materials and tools are the biggest hurdles right now, since I've seen videos on YouTube of people making IC chips at home with lithography tools, they don't compare to processors commercially available right now. And maybe in 15 to 30 years from now a high-end desktop computer will be able to run an AGI as powerful as a human brain, while a homemade processor will still be behind. But at that point where the AI can both replace human labor and the work that goes into developing the hardware the AI runs on, and developing the tools needed to make that hardware, the difference between a component made in a factory and one made in a home lab will narrow so rapidly it will quickly become insignificant. I give it 80 years before we could have Star Trek-style replicators, interplanetary teleportation & just about any other technology you could want. My overly long-winded point is that good AGI and a more economical power source will probably make the idea of a robot factory redundant so quickly that the milkman as a concept would have been around for longer.

Thoughts on making a paper waifu then adding robotics? I want animu grills but, most robots have uncanny 3DPD faces that aren't nearly as cute as a real waifu. With paper/screens, at least the face can keep the purity and beauty of 2D.

>>14125 >So you can take your time searching for the right design and strategy without worrying too much about cost. That's exceptionally good wisdom Anon, and it's why I also have been using paper to prototype shells (and even structural components) for a few years now. I use card-stock reams, since they are rather more rigid than regular printing paper, yet the inexpensive value of it is still exceptionally high relative to basically almost all other prototyping materials I've managed to come across.

It would be useful for those with less money and those who want something more similar to 2D. Yeah, obviously it could be just a box with computer and audio, holding the batteries and some servos, moving some parts around. I'd use sideway sliders and rotation. The head might need to be a bit thicker, to hold the mechanisms for facial expression. I also want to mention, I just scrolled by a video about 3D printing pictures in color.

>>31683 You have to scroll down and around. What they are doing is the page you land on for the A1-mini has the package deal of the A1-mini + a four color printing optional accessory. They have a retarded number of scripts on the page and you have to scroll around to find the $200 A1-mini alone. Maybe this link will work, https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini?variant=41513493627016 The extra colors are not a bad deal at all. In fact a huge bargain. I could see having an additional color being an asset. Especially if you use one color for base and then a water soluble filament to make voids. One use for the multi-color is to to print spots with the .2 mm nozzle. So you print a translucent white but below. or next to, print various shades of red or pink. Like magazine printing from a distance you have a mixing of the colors to make shades. So with a white, black or brown, red or pink, maybe a yellow for Asians you could have realistic skin tones. If you can at all afford it I would recommend the multi-color kit, even if you see no use for it immediately. I read they were difficult to acquire if you don't get them together. But you can get around with just one color. My sweet spot for buying these is $200, maybe $250. Look at this video from a long time 3D printer user on the Bambu A1-mini who has used all sorts of printers. It's good and look at the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBQ-QfcY3Qs I've been also looking at resin printers. I don't know how good these are. Brief reviews seem to be ok.

Grommet 06/23/2024 (Sun) 20:20:36 No.31729

I can't help but wonder if you couldn't make a .1 mm or .05 mm nozzle, maybe even smaller, and slowly, ever so slowly print with the Bambu to get super accurate prints? I see no "physical" reason this could not be done. I don;t know what the ultimate stepper resolution is. I suspect it's high at low speeds as the stepper uses difference wave forms to create partial steps, I think. I know this can be done. Bambu, according to users, appears to be responsive to customer request and supposedly has so far been constantly updating their older printers software. I think it could be a great selling point to have this super resolution mode as an option. Maybe charge more for nozzles.

Minimum viable waifu. In this thread, we'll discuss what our minimums for waifus are. Be it software, hardware, physical appearance, etc. This will help us focus in on what are the minimum goals we need to achieve as our first steps. For me, I want a waifu that will be just tall enough to hug (about 1.3 m), able to follow me around and have conversations with, will follow basic commands like going to designated spots at designated times, and look like picrel.

>>31595 I decided to do some sex doll searches. It looks like they run about $1,500-$2,500 with a few at $3,000. The majority of higher quality seem to hover around $2,000 or a few hundred more, so as I , and many others speculated, the sweet spot is likely $2,000. I think you could sell a walking talking, uhh... "action oriented", but limited waifu with open source AI for $2,500 but if you could profit and make them for $2,000 I doubt you could keep up with demand. I suggest a way around the law would be to sell the muscles, skeleton, processor and skin in a kit BUT ship the parts separately and do not sell any sort of orifices except maybe a mouth. But there should be adjustable areas for insertion of unmentionables. Possibly you could sell these but on another site with different accounts, companies, etc. To sell you will probably have to have a very reduced motherboard,memory and process, BUT a fast built in wifi would be necessary and software to link securely with the clients computer. They could then upgrade either the onboard and/or their own personal computer to amplify interaction. Wifi should be fine for voice and general direction, moving about. I think it would be plenty of bandwidth if you used "gross" movement commands from the main computer while allowing the onboard motherboard to handle moving the body around.

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 ~~MasturBationLAB~~ManuelBastioniLAB as the starting point for my designs. --- Saving everything with yt-dlp (>>16357, >>12247) >===

I'd suggest we all earnestly consider Will Cogley's Bionic Hands project [1]. Also, I suppose the board should conduct this group-conversation within our Robo Hands thread : (>>4577) ? If you agree please make a new response there. Cheers. :^) --- 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w88HwbYPWI&list=PL6AJl-knQFCGJakVBP1_3EXqJyAS0qN8k&index=18 >=== -fmt edit

>>31522 That's ok. SPUD actually does have hands (a prefab set off Spamazon), I just don't have them installed right now (will probably buy a second pair of rubber hands, gut them and try to stuff the robohands in there). You can see a little peek of them in this post which was my first attempt at servo frame animation >>31324 For the plugin you need to know how to rig stuff in Blender and keep track of which bones are labeled what, knowing how to translate the servo pulses into degrees and putting limits on the bones. Not particularly difficult if you've been doing 3d modeling for 20 years (god has it been that long already?) like me but new folks could find it challenging.

Cyborg general + Biological synthetic brains for robowaifus? Robowaifu Technician 04/06/2020 (Mon) 20:16:19 No.2184 [Reply] [Last]

Scientists made a neural network from rat neurons that could fly a fighter jet in a simulator and control a small robot. I think that lab grown biological components would be a great way to go for some robowaifu systems. It could also make it feel more real. https://www.google.com/amp/s/singularityhub.com/2010/10/06/videos-of-robot-controlled-by-rat-brain-amazing-technology-still-moving-forward/amp/ >=== -add/rm notice

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2590238523006483 Biohybrid bipedal robot powered by skeletal muscle tissue Recently, there has been a growing interest in the development of biohybrid robots that combine synthetic components with biological materials, aiming to incorporate advanced biomaterial functions into robotic systems. Conventional biohybrid robots excel in large turning movements. To address this limitation, we report a biohybrid robot equipped with two legs and cultured skeletal muscle tissue, emphasizing the replication of subtle turning movements observed in human bipedal locomotion. The robot successfully demonstrated forward-stop motions and accurate turning compared to conventional biohybrid robots. These findings offer valuable insights for the advancement of soft robots powered by muscle tissue and have the potential to contribute to a deeper understanding of biological locomotion mechanisms. This constructive approach may pave the way for further mimicking the intricacies of the human gait mechanism in biohybrid robotics development.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread but it is biology related and it is cool. https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1294&context=engineering-facultypubs Magnetotaxis as a Means for Nanofabrication >Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), discovered in early 1970s contain single-domain crystals of magnetite (Fe3O4) called magnetosomes that tend to form a chain like structure from the proximal to the distal pole along the long axis of the cell. The ability of these bacteria to sense the magnetic field for displacement, also called magnetotaxis, arises from the magnetic dipole moment of this chain of magnetosomes. In aquatic habitats, these organisms sense the geomagnetic field and traverse the oxic-anoxic interface for optimal oxygen concentration along the field lines. Here we report an elegant use of MTB where magnetotaxis of Magnetospirillum magneticum (classified as AMB-1) could be utilized for controlled navigation over a semiconductor substrate for selective deposition. We examined 50mm long coils made out of 18AWG and 20AWG copper conductors having diameters of 5mm, 10mm and 20mm for magnetic field intensity and heat generation. Based on the COMSOL simulations and experimental data, it is recognized that a compound semiconductor manufacturing technology involving bacterial carriers and carbon-based materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes would be a desirable choice in the future.

>>31589 >these organisms sense the geomagnetic field and traverse the oxic-anoxic interface for optimal oxygen concentration along the field lines. That's amazingly-interesting. BTW, I wasn't even aware that oxygen molecules would congregate there. Some type of oxygen ions interacting with the field lines I suppose? Thanks, Ribose! >=== -minor edit

>>24923 If you create a little program that can be called in Linux, it doesn't matter to me much what language you use. I've heard only positive things about Lua. Though Python will get much faster with Mojo. Whatever, I prefer having rather slow code over having no code.

>Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language (1994) and co-founder of the Center for Cognitive Science, discusses his theory that language is a human instinct and not a human invention. Pinker defines language as ambiguous, and he believes that this ambiguity leads to the separation of words, meanings, and thoughts. He explores examples of what does and does not qualify as language, and demonstrates differences in sentence structure, dialects, pronouns, and meanings. The lecture concludes with audience questions. https://youtu.be/eOUKcAFa_HQ It's difficult to make notes while listening to something and not having something to write at hand, but I try to do that, since otherwise I forget the important parts. Some takeaways for our use case here: - important to realize that not all our thoughts are based on words but some come for example from imagine an image. - words are just suggestions that call trains of thought to mind, which need to be interpolated. There are assumed premises which are not expressed in the language itself. - special faculty of the mind, not general intelligence. - reading and writing are separate. - humans have some inborn way to create a language, children seem to reinvent the language based on what they hear and interactions. Learn a sense of how the grammar works and then go from there. - meanings and thoughts are separate from words - high school seniors have 60k words in their dictionary. - the order in phrases is important to convey the meaning (e.g. who did what to whom). - 100 trillion million sentences with 20 words or less. - languages are infinitely big.

Hand Development Robowaifu Technician 07/28/2020 (Tue) 04:43:19 No.4577 [Reply] [Last]

Since we have no thread for hands, I'm now opening one. Aside the AI, it might be the most difficult thing to archive. For now, we could at least collect and discuss some ideas about it. There's Will Cogleys channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/WillCogley - he's on his way to build a motor driven biomimetic hand. It's for humans eventually, so not much space for sensors right now, which can't be wired to humans anyways. He knows a lot about hands and we might be able to learn from it, and build something (even much smaller) for our waifus. Redesign: https://youtu.be/-zqZ-izx-7w More: https://youtu.be/3pmj-ESVuoU Finger prototype: https://youtu.be/MxbX9iKGd6w CMC joint: https://youtu.be/DqGq5mnd_n4 I think the thread about sensoric skin >>242 is closely related to this topic, because it will be difficult to build a hand which also has good sensory input. We'll have to come up with some very small GelSight-like sensors. F3 hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/JPTnVLJH4SY https://youtu.be/j_8Pvzj-HdQ Festo hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/5e0F14IRxVc Thread >>417 is about Prosthetics, especially Open Prosthetics. This can be relevant to some degree. However, the constraints are different. We might have more space in the forearms, but we want marvelous sensors in the hands and have to connect them to the body.

Not sure where to post this. When I was looking at Punyo which I had posted into the video thread >>30748 I had came across that Toyota has the gripper mechanism used is available for people to build. Not entirely humanoid just having soft pads with sensors instead of full on hands but it's workable and I think the same thing could be modified into a hand form either using it only in the palm then add fingers maybe even smaller versions in the pads into the fingers or something for more sensory ability. Just a thought. https://punyo.tech/
