What can we buy today? Robowaifu Technician 09/11/2019 (Wed) 01:41:22 No.101 [Reply] [Last]
I've stated many times on this forum my skepticism of the "robo" part of "robowaifu". The reason why is because I've owned a number of dolls, including one full size TPE sex doll, and always been very satisfied with my purchases. The "robo" will be reality within our lifetimes but simply doesn't exist today. I'm starting this thread to discuss options that exist today which don't require advanced technology, products that can already relieve our loneliness. In particular I'd like to promote one cheap, freely available, and obvious option that you may have overlooked.

If you live alone and happen to have a few grand burning a hole in your pocket, you've probably already considered buying a sex doll. It's a good purchase for the money. If you haven't bought one yet, you probably either don't live alone, don't have that kind of money, or have a moral or practical objection to sex dolls. In that case you could buy a <$50 onahole-type or fleshlight-type sex toy, but that's not a "waifu" and isn't really more satisfying than masturbating with your hand. To alleviate loneliness, you need something that you can cuddle, than you can look at and smile, that you can care for, that makes you feel that you are not alone.

It may sound cringey, even pedophilic, but I want you to seriously considering buying a <$50 child's cloth doll. I've been cuddling and sleeping with an 80cm cloth doll for the last year and she has brought me much joy and comfort. A related option is a "dakimakura" (lonely pillow), but the advantage of the cloth doll is that it resembles a real human being, with a head and arms, and therefore is more fun to cuddle. My doll has made surviving this period of peak feminism so much easier, and honestly has probably saved me from the rope.

Here's the 100cm version of the doll that I bought. For cuddling purposes, bigger is better, so I recommend the largest doll you can find.

In this thread we can discuss sex dolls, cloth dolls, dakimakura, onaholes, and other options that exist on the market today.

>>39745 Yeah, they kept repeating they would not follow with the stereotypes I was talking about
>>39872 Damn. My tests showed indifference to politically incorrect words.
So like, besides Galatea, is there anything cool you can buy?

Thoughts on waifus which remain 2D but have their own dedicated hardware. This is more on the artistry side though ai is still involved. An example of an actual waifu product being the Gatebox.

>>38897 Ambitious project! I thought about making a robot as well for the last week. I asked the guys at work who do point clouds about that and I think for now it would be easier to do holographic projection with AR. I downloaded https://github.com/PKU-VCL-3DV/SLAM3R and converted a 30s video of my house into a pointcloud. There are other projects to convert them into 3d meshes and also label them as household objects. Open3D TSDF and Meta Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2). At first I thought of making a pipeline that updates the meshes and segmentations in real time for a robotic agent to navigate my house. Then it hit me, why not use the internal representation to create a virtual environment of my house and let an AI agent navigate that? AR can be used to display them. Pathfinding is possible with the meshes, and with labeled objects I can create a graph with the relations between objects. The AI agent navigates this in some 3d engine. With simplified meshes that match my house layout. And send the agent mesh to a separate render target on my AR headset.

>>39621 Thank you :) That point cloud creator is a really good find. Much better than most video-to-point cloud processers I've seen. >At first I thought of making a pipeline that updates the meshes and segmentations in real time for a robotic agent to navigate my house. A lot of high-end robot vacuums use LIDAR for a similar purpose, and a 3D point cloud will definitely help for humanoid robots to navigate, what may be unobstructed to the base may be an obstruction for the whole robot (ex. a table or a chair) >AR hologram waifu I like your idea. You're clearly very knowledgeable and talented. (second pic related)
>>39624 I tired out some projects like vox fusion and another one with ros. Couldn't get either of them working. Vox fusion had a demo unit that just didn't work and I can't be arsed to install linux for ros. I tried installing PopOs like 2 weeks ago for some triton project. It just didn't work. I spent 8h getting cuda and gcc to play nice but no success. I was yelling at my pc at this point. I gave up and went back to windows. >high-end robot vacuums use LIDAR Really? That's interesting. I know the scanners from work, but they're expensive as fuck. I figured LIDAR and RGBD cameras were outside my reach and I had to settle for regular rbg, maybe stereo. With slam3r that might even be possible, but I read that the calculated camera position isn't very accurate. Eh, I'll figure it out along the way. I think the pathfinding won't be a problem. I made a game once with voxel based pathfinding. Wasn't so great because the map was huge and I wanted hundreds of enemies without collisions. But a small map with static obstacles should be manageable. The bigger problem will be the animations. I tired some Quest 3 apps. Where you can decorate your home with virtual furniture lol. Making some crazy animation system for furniture or advanced IK would be badass. >I like your idea. You're clearly very knowledgeable and talented. Thanks :3 I like my crazy projects!

>>39816 Very glad to hear that; I'll be lurking, just in case. >That won't be necessary A pleasure to know - though, I'm planning to restructure my own company - of course, if funds permit - for entry into electromechanics. >This industry... - ... will surely follow -- all things being equal. Completely agreed; I'm looking into clearing my schedule to free up some time for working with you anons. Cheers, Chobitsu. :)
>>39818 Yes. :) They would be sold for pennies - depending on who owns the control packets, of course, but there are ways about it. The fastest way out, would be to just hold majority stake, overvalue the company, and sell stock off. The most convenient - establish a profitable enterprise, funded by VC capital, and place a figurehead to take care of it. Ah, real estate is a bit more complex - it'd be possible, albeit incredibly difficult to acquire property through this sort of scheme, and then *keep* it. If the ACGG/AAPP (oh, I do adore the name) is kept operational, we can actually subcontract the robowaifu company, and basically pour all the capital we want into it. Though, that may leave it liable to lawsuits by the investors. All in all, there are quite a few ways to funnel money from the former, into the latter.' Honestly, so many, that I'd be open to sitting down, and hosting a conference call with you gentlemen, to quickly run through them, and knock out the ones that don't work for us. >please pardon my ignorance in such matters Please, no need to apologize, my friend - business is all I know, and I hardly know it that well; you anons have much more pressing things to attend to. I mean, it's why I'm here - to help pick up any slack in these sorts of affairs. >>39822 Hey, mate!

Hey guys, I'm the guy who suggested the Robowaifu Legal Defense Fund and a hodgepodge of other ideas regarding robowaifu development. I'm starting to consider taking a name, but I did have another idea. What if we had other organizations like charitable foundations or NGOs? I'm not actually sure how we'd go about doing that, but it'd be fun to see a robowaifu charity literally just handing out robowaifus for free to sexually underprivileged men, if for no other reason than the unheard-of amount of roastie seethe it would cause.
>>39810 Create LLC A aka "politically correct robots LLC", do all the legit whatever. Create LLC B aka "robowaifu limited, LLC". LLC B rents machines from LLC A. LLC A can then not consider their machines as an asset but a liability and non-taxable (and subject to depreciation). LLC A says they make money renting out their robot equipment to other companies, LLC B makes robowaifu parts. Rich people do similar to protect their assets from divorce or taxes: "I don't own my lamborghini/house/whatever I rent it from this LLC" which is run by their frens whom he in turn is part of an LLC to protect their assets.
>>39854 That would be a good operation. It would require only a little bit of overhead costs, and also help transform the incel movement from seethe and cope to genuine actions and solutions. I can also see it for loneliness in general. We could even gather support from pro-AI people; it would be harder to anti-AI people to criticize AI when it's your friend's wife and mother's friend. >>39855 Exactly. You put it succinctly

>>38643 That was the waste oil foundry I built. I got it to work once and I wanted to see how hot it could get. Turns out it got hot enough to turn the ceramic wool to glass and warp the nozzle. I ended up just buying a devil's forge foundry and it will get just as hot. I should have done that in the first place as it cost as much to buy as the waste oil foundry cost to make. I also have a clay printer and potter's kiln. I will be working with this as soon as I purchase my house.

Open file (269.73 KB 1600x1065 rope hinge 120_3397.JPG)
I really feel this is one of the best, most simple joint mechanisms I've ever, ever seen. It's like human joints but in this case 3D printed. It's so simple I wonder I hadn't seen or thought of it myself. I feel like a fool for missing it. "Alternative to bearings for tiny robots" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQiLLcumqDw This is incredibly good. I expect with some thinking you could make it move in two dimensions as that's what human joints knees do. It's so simple I'm terribly embarrassed for not seeing something like it. Has anyone else thought of this or am I the only one so foolish as to not see it as an obvious solution? It's an awful lot like this rope hinge I saved a drawing of but for some reason never equated it to robot joints.
Here's a book recommended by others on mechanical design constraints for accuracy and rigidity. Exact Constraint_ Machine Design Using Kinematic Processing (1999, ASME Press) - Douglass L. Blanding There's several links. At any one time many might not work so you just have to try them. https://libgen.gs/edition.php?id=138587005 A hackaday article on the subject https://hackaday.com/2019/09/11/books-you-should-read-exact-constraint-machine-design-using-kinematic-principles/
>>17473 Maybe this would work for you. Search "Wireless Optical Pocket Pen Mouse". Apparently they work on most surfaces. You don't need a tablet. I have one of these I got real cheap and haven't used it yet, I need to. I was thinking of drawing on my chest or stomach in a drawing program. Since it also works as a mouse it would be easy. Also I think people can very accurately move stuff around on their bodies so it would be natural. A lot easier than being forced into one position on a drawing tablet or hunching over a screen.
>>39724 That's really nice. I had thought about something like the rudder joint for knees or elbows before, but assumed it would not work well under compressive loads and would wear out quickly. A real skeletal joint is cushioned and lubricated with synovial fluid which prevents the surfaces from wearing too quickly and provides shock absorption. I'm curious how this would hold up. The design from the video might be better off not using a braided fishing line. I imagine it would start cutting into the channels in the printed joint pretty quickly.

This is the /robowaifu/ embassy thread. It's a place where Anons from all other communities can congregate and talk with us about their groups & interests, and also network with each other and with us. ITT we're all united together under the common banner of building robowaifus as we so desire. Welcome. Since this is the ambassadorial thread of /robowaifu/, we're curious what other communities who know of us are up to. So w/o doxxing yourselves, if this is your first time posting ITT please tell us about your home communities if you wouldn't mind please Anons. What do you like about them, etc? What brought you to /robowaifu/ today? The point here is to create a connection and find common-ground for outreach with each other's communities. Also, if you have any questions or concerns for us please feel free to share them here as well.

>>30783 Now it's my turn to be sorry. I've been spread a bit thin lately, but here I am. >Mind discussing that one a bit, Anon? I oppose artificial wombs for the same reasons that I oppose homosexual adoption and transgenderism. It's an affront to nature. Viable artificial wombs would be immediately followed by implanting said womb into some vile sodomite so that he could satisfy his perversions by squeezing some poor child out of his mutilated ass. It's abhorrent. I'm rather reverent of nature, and I feel that procreation is one of the areas where we shouldn't "play god" unnecessarily. If we are at a point where a companion robot would be capable of performing as a parent and caregiver, and I expect that to be the case in the future, then those who wish to be parents should adopt. This is to speak nothing of the metaphysical implications of parentage, but that's a more philosophical discussion than one about robots.

>>31259 >It's an affront to nature. Having children matters. No matter what and how, if necessary. >implanting said womb You've got the wrong idea. This is completely outside of the scope. These artificial wombs refer to things outside of the human body. They would have to do insurmountable extra work to put it into a human body, I assume. That said, it not relevant and will be even less relevant in the future, since the people who are transgender won't have (many) children. The ideologues around this procreate through spreading their manipulative thoughts into new confused minds. Having fewer women in a society and making women less important will be very useful, and artificial wombs are important for that.
