Lemon Cookie EnvelopingTwilight##AgvQjr 04/28/2025 (Mon) 21:51:57 No.37980 [Reply]
The original thread can be found here: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/595.html --- Welcome to the Lemon Cookie thread, The goal of Lemon Cookie is to create a framework where a synthetic "mind and soul" can emerge through a "LLM as cognitive architecture" approach. This thread exists to collect feedback, ask for help & to document my progress. First I am going to try to give a high level overview of how this cognitive architecture is envisioned and the ideas behind it. I have spent time looking at cognitive architecture work, in the field there is now a consensus on how the mind works at a high level. An important mechanism is a "whiteboard", basically a global temporary memory that all the other systems read in and out of. Then there is different long-term memory systems that react to and add content to the whiteboard. Along with memory pattern matcher(s)/rules work on the content of the whiteboard. A key thing to consider is the difference in philosophy that cognitive architecture projects have, the intelligence is considered to emerge from the entire system. Compare this to LLM agent work where it's considered the intelligence is the LLM. My feelings on the general LLM space are conflicted, I am both amazed and really disappointed. LLMs possess an incredible level of flexibility, world knowledge and coherence. But everything outside of the model is stagnant. It's endless API wrappers & redundant frameworks all slight permutations on RAG & basic tool calling. I will believe that LLMs are misused as chatbots, simply put their pattern matching and associative power is constrained by chat format and shallow tooling. In the Lemon Cookie Cognitive Architecture so far here are the important aspects: 1. Memory is difficult. I do not think there is a singular data structure or method that is able to handle it all, several distinct types of memory will be needed. So far I plan for a PathRAG like system and a "Triadic Memory" inspired system for external associations (this is missing in most LLM solutions). 2. LLM as Kernel, The LLM's context window is the Whiteboard and has a REPL like mechanism. It holds structured data and logic in scripting-like format so it's both LLM & Human readable while staying easy to parse & allows for expressive structured data. The LLM's role will be to decompose data and make patterns and associations explicit as executable statements. 3. The language has to be LLM/CogArch-centric. There is a thousand ""agents"" that give LLMs a python interpreter as a tool. The two need to be more tightly coupled. Scripted behavior via pattern matching, The whiteboard is a bag of objects, this allows for programmable pattern matching (think functional programming like Haskell). It's also important to allow the LLM to observe code execution and to be able to modify state and execution flow. Data in languages have scoping rules, so should LLM context. Etc... I will go into more depth about the language in another post. 4. Another important system is the "GSR" Generative Sparse Representation and it will be a first class language & runtime type, This also needs its own post. But in general I am inspired by two things, "Generative FrameNet" paper where an LLM & an embedding model is used to automatically construct new FrameNet frames. The second source is "Numenta's SDRs"/"Sparse distributed memory" this representation has a lot of useful properties for memory (Please watch the videos under the "What the hell is an SDR?" segment in my links list for an easy introduction.) I think SDR unions & SDR noise tolerance will be especially useful. 5. A custom model, For all of the above to work well, a model will need to be fine tuned with special behaviors. I do want input on this. Baking facts & behaviors into LLM weights is costly, creating bloated models that are hard to run or train (why memorize all the capitals?), while letting authors gatekeep truth and impose "safety" detached from context. Blocking role-play "violence" or intimacy isn't protection: it's authors hijacking your AI companion to preach at you. Externalizing behaviors via whiteboard pattern matching shifts control: stabbing you in-game can be funny, but a robot wielding a knife isn't. Maybe you want intimacy privately, but don't want your AI flirting back at your friends. When put together I think this will be able to host a kind of synthetic "soul", In a living being what we call a personality is the accumulated associations, learned behaviors, beliefs and quirks molded by a unique set of experiences. I hope this will be true for this system too.

First non intro post. <What am I currently up to at this moment? Currently writing a tokenizer and parser to begin implementing a scripting language, I'm trying to keep it KISS, Its runtime is going to be a simple tree-walking interpreter, for the GC I will be piggybacking on the D runtime GC. The goal of this is to have a simple base to then experiment on for figuring out language specifics. For the base I am following the basic structure of the interpreter from the "Writing An Interpreter In Go" book, but this time it's in D and of course I am making changes for my end goal instead of doing it just for learning. (its a good book, I recommend it). Here is a gist of it https://gist.github.com/flashburns/b946e4d530f3f20d461a6ff90d6f86cc <Why a custom language? (Going into depth about it) I have considered taking an existing language like LUA, TCL, a mini JS or scheme. But it quickly turns into a hacky bloated mess, the language needs to work well with LLM Psychology. Syntax has an impact on LLM performance, for example, if you restrict the output of newlines and punctuation it degrades performance. This is because a lot of LLMs will plan for the next sentence during a newline (1). It's not just Claude, worse LLM perf is noticeable for most when outputting JSON, this is likely due to string escapes. Having the LLM drop a few IQ points during "tool calls" due to us insisting on a format that does not handle multi-lines well is silly. In theory a model could be trained on more JSON to mitigate this (I'm sure the big labs do), but I'm GPU poor, so changing the format to play into LLM strengths seems more pragmatic to me. :^) I want this system to be deterministic and for the program state to be fully serializable. The plan is to build this as a functional style language using the actor model, impure operations like IO, API calls & non deterministic LLM calls will be handled by special actors that record their messages for playback determinism. Resolving symbols (stuff like function & vars) and object members via semantic search (like embedding vector similarity search) and via tags instead of by names, there also needs to be searchable runtime meta info & docs for the LLM. You can kind of think of this like IDE smart autocomplete & inline docs but for the LLM. Another language construct I want to add is "Flow Justification" where a justification is passed as a part of a message, function call or control flow action (inspired by (3)). It would be a chaining structure that looks like a call stack trace, but it would also include semantic information like, what the LLM's intent was when the symbol was resolved via semantic search (and then called), or if the LLM was used in control flow (like an if statement). Code could also have "intent statements" where programmatic code adds a comment, or the LLM will generate a comment, but instead of it being ignored by the language, its added to the "Flow Justification" chain. This summery of choices could be really useful for having a compact summaries. This is useful for the LLMs (especially sub-contexts like the claude think tool (2)) and for debugging. The "Flow Justification" chain could also be used for resolving symbols semantically.

Robowaifu-OS & Robowaifu-Brain(cluster) Robowaifu Technician 09/13/2019 (Fri) 11:29:59 No.201 [Reply] [Last]
I realize it's a bit grandiose (though probably no more than the whole idea of creating a irl robowaifu in the first place) but I want to begin thinking about how to create a working robowaifu 'brain', and how to create a special operating system to run on her so she will have the best chance of remaining an open, safe & secure platform. OS Language Choice C is by far the single largest source of security holes in software history, so it's out more or less automatically by default. I'm sure that causes many C developers to sneer at the very thought of a non-C-based operating system, but the unavoidable cost of fixing the large numbers of bugs and security holes that are inevitable for a large C project is simply more than can be borne by a small team. There is much else to do besides writing code here, and C hooks can be generated wherever deemed necessary as well. C++ is the best candidate for me personally, since it's the language I know best (I also know C too). It's also basically as low level as C but with far better abstractions and much better type-checking. And just like C, you can inline Assembler code wherever needed in C++. Although poorly-written C++ can be as bad as C code in terms of safety due to the necessity of it being compatible with C, it also has many facilities to not go there for the sane coder who adheres to simple, tried-and-true guidelines. There is also a good C++ project already ongoing that could be used for a clustered unikernel OS approach for speed and safety. This approach could save drastic amounts of time for many reasons, not the least of which is tightly constrained debugging. Every 'process' is literally it's own single-threaded kernel, and mountains of old-style cruft (and thinking) typical with OS development simply vanishes. FORTRAN is a very well-established language for the sciences, but a) there aren't a lot of FORTRAN coders, and b) it's probably not the greatest at being a general-purpose language anyway. I'm sure it could be made to run robotics hardware, but would probably be a challenge to turn into an OS. There are plenty of dujour SJW & coffee languages out there, but quite apart from the rampant faggotry & SJWtardism plainly evident in most of their communities, none of them have the kind of industrial experience and pure backbone that C, C++, or FORTRAN have. D and Ada are special cases and possibly bear due consideration in some year's time, but for now C++ is the obvious choice to me for a Robowaifu OS foundation, Python probably being the best scripting language for it.

>>27326 At the moment I am just learning C and trying to make programs that solve basic maths questions. I don't have enough money to buy my own drone and they have been pretty much regulated into the floor here in Airstrip One. Oh, and I fell ill. CURSED FLESH! GAHH! So things are going very slowly. But when I do eventually get a drone I am aiming for a fixed-wing design. Multi-rotor drones (even toroidal propellors at low-speed) just make far too much noise and are relatively slow. I want to focus on how fixed-wing drones are programmed and how they network/communicate. After all, it's no good flying a drone (even one with a robowaifu attached) if the enemy can simply hack your video-feed and see everything that your drone sees.

>>27385 >At the moment I am just learning C and trying to make programs that solve basic maths questions. Outstanding, SophieDev! Having a practical, smol goal is literally the best way to learn to program in my experience. BTW, you may be aware that we already have C language (>>367), and C++ language (>>19777) threads. Why not post your work in either of these threads and everyone can talk about them with you? We have at least 3 C developers here on /robowaifu/, maybe we can give you some nice ideas? Regardless, I too am extremely interested in aerospace as an industry, and the vehicles themselves as a fanboy/engineer. Some of the greatest, most elegant designs ever done by mankind are in these fields, IMO. Cheers. :^)

>>37864 >tl;dr here is that the Globohomo kikes are killing off -- one-by-one -- any man who tries to provide stable, reliable, expansive, anonymous freespeech capabilities for everyman around the planet? What are we supposed to believe. A guy, zzz, works on I2P for, maybe over a decade. Complains constantly about how JR vanished and how hard it was to build back. Says he will never do this. Makes VAST improvements in speed and in the crypto. Especially in the last two years or so. Then one day his blog locks up. I forget where but the people that took over say he quit because of some globalhomo like trans statement in the terms where everyone is welcome. Another very lead developer they say he's joining a monastery but in a github account for software he was developing, an account that I expect they didn't have access to his pass, he says the people running it are [summarize] not to be trusted. Then the zzz's I2P development blog comes back but...you can't comment there any more. It took a few months to get the zzz blog back up. I expect they cracked it or maybe they just swapped the whole thing out with saved post. Maybe that's why you can;t comment because they lost all the sign-in's. Now zzz, the former I2P main developer, has not said one word. It's too damn far fetched to believe anything but they offed him. And now the zeronet guy, stopped updating software he worked years on, though I only know he's gone no other info but...sure looks like the same thing. I've seen this three times. Oh and BTW though I can't prove it I KNOW the guy who took over at I2P was a Jew. I said something, very subtle, most people would not even recognize it, I didn't even know, but I super triggered him with a name. It wasn't anything anti-Semitic it was just an idea and he went ballistic. I know he's a Jew. What he did was a lot of house keeping type stuff. Lots of grunt work for years. I bet sooner or later the got all the keys then cut out zzz out and likely had him dusted. This is standard operating procedure for this bunch. It's amazing how doggedly determined they are to wipe everyone else ass off the earth. It's really retarded. I can not understand this mentality and hatred. It's foreign to me, but once you understand it, things that make no sense, begin to. Let this be a lesson to all of you. Never ever, ever give up the keys to the kingdom or let people have control over your site or that could be you. As long as he had control I expect they couldn't off him but as soon as they could control the narrative. Gone.

Her fingers had enough sensors to map for any input key needed. “Alright, let’s try playing some Dance Dance Robowaifu!” He took her hands and started playing the game.

Material Science & Production This thread is dedicated to all aspects of material sciences in robotics. This includes production methods for creation, processing, and manipulating materials to attain desired results. Our future robowaifus must be built using materials we can attain and sculpt into them. Let's work together to build the future. Consider picrel, what materials would you use for her shell? Her skeleton? Consider mechanical properties, density, how they would feel to hold. All are important aspects we must consider. This thread will have overlap with the 3D printing thread. Feel free to crosslink at will. This thread is made as a merger of 2 previous material threads and a CNC thread.

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

New simple program for rapid prototyping From the website; CaDoodle is a local drag-and-drop CAD application for Linux (Arm,x86), WIndows (X86), and Mac (Arm,x86) and ChromeOS. Users models are stored locally, and the application runs entirely locally. CaDoodle has a drag and drop interface that is cross-trainable with TinkerCAD. 1. Drag and drop shape 2. Group and ungroup 3. Solid and Hole status 4. Undo of operations 5. Stretch and move handles 6. Library of examples 7. Nearest Surface snappping Key Improvements over Tinkercad * Boolean operations such as Hull, Intersect, and XOR * Inkscape as the sketching tool is much more powerful sketching tool * Blender integration brings Sculpted elements easily into CaDoodle

>>37614 This is a really excellent resource. It also led me to BowlerStudio. I think you may have mentioned this before but I didn't really understand before I started reading more about CAD programs. BowlerStudio looks like a full scale development studio where you can design, test forces, etc. on robots. https://github.com/CommonWealthRobotics/BowlerStudio Some other stuff I found is BlocksCAD which is a visual OpenSCAD builder. Might come in handy to get started with OpenSCAD https://github.com/EinsteinsWorkshop/BlocksCAD And one other. A library that others are using and also has a 3D CAD, manifold. https://github.com/elalish/manifold This guy has some super interesting commentary on 3D libraries and CAD. He apparently figured out a way to make sure that combining objects does so correctly. Though I don't understand all of it, it seems even super expensive CAD programs can glitch in areas where they join objects and he has found a way to do this (math over my head) but he does describe it reasonably well. His library also integrates with OpenSCAD. The link below is a good read on the foibles of 3D CAD libraries. https://elalish.blogspot.com/2023/03/perseverance-history-of-manifold.html

Tensegrity Thread Tenssegrity is the purposeful application of tension in a system of non-contact components to provide integrity. These components effectively float on compression provided by tension elements. Tensegrity structures are often formed via rigid rods with a cable defining the spatial relations of the system. Picrel 1 is NASA’s Super Ball Bot, which uses the common 6 bar structure. By altering the lengths of the rods, the “ball” can roll. Please see (https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/super-ball-bot/) Our bodies use tensegrity to provide us with incredible strength, durability, and adaptability. Consider how when you bump into something or fall, you can feel the pressure dissipate throughout large parts of your body. This is due to your muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc… transferring the force throughout your body, protecting the impacted part. You can walk with little effort thanks in part to tensegrity. Your legs joints are all floating, providing low friction movement while distributing the force of impact throughout your entire leg when you step. Please see (http://intensiondesigns.ca/geometry-of-anatomy/) Tensegrity can also be made with elastic elements. These structures are what I believe are best suited for our endeavors. They provide looser tolerance requirements and give her body some squeezability. By incorporating naturally stretchable elements, she can better withstand having an Anon using her. (I speak from experience, though I still broke that torso before taking pictures.) Though there are drawbacks. These designs are deceptively difficult to design correctly. Our requirements for external aesthetics provide unique design requirements that complicate the design phase. I still believe using this concept is objectively correct for us to pursue. A good example to build off of (Debatable whether or not it’s true tensegrity): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4182634

>>37716 That's really an interesting idea, Anon. Sort of a 'smart material' type of behavior at that point, I'd say. Cheers. :^)
>>37702 >>37704 >>37705 Heh. :DD <---> You did a great job migrating this thread, Kiwi. Crosslinking, etc., all look good. Nice to have this cool new bread back home here! :^) Forward!!

>>37735 Excellent research material, Grommet. Thank you, Anon. :^) <---> Tensegrity is very-likely how we are going to win this race as amateurs, against all the FAGMAN (((groups))) and even against the baste Chinese!! :D Remember the Wright Brothers!!

Prototypes and Failures #4 Noido Dev ##pTGTWW 01/23/2024 (Tue) 03:17:26 No.28715 [Reply] [Last]
Post your prototypes and failures. We fail until we win. Don't forget looking through the old threads here >>418, >>18800 and >>21647 to understand how we got to where we are now.

From [Unusable board link - edit later] A good lesson for the prototypers here, if you intend for your design to be replicated, make sure the third-party devices have multiple sellers, the more the better, so that if one goes down, your design isn't instantly impossible to build. Even then, you should have backup designs in case the exact model is not being sold anymore. I learned that the hard way with a design in 2023, and with Galatea I have had it happen twice, once before Galatea v1 with the speaker, and recently with the Pleasure Unit, the latter because it had some other sellers, but not too many. TL:DR, with third party devices in open source designs, make sure there are several sellers easily found, across multiple websites.
>>37666 My words turned out to be prophetic, since these new Tariffs will raise the price of certain sources. I myself am slightly modifying Galatea to have a "Tariff-proof" design.

MaidCom0 is coming along well. The plan is for her shell to be 5 pieces that fit within 200mm^2 build plate area. Though, I could get it to 175mm^2 without her ass and tiddies. Everything else fits well within 175mm^2, so I'm considering making them add-ons. To keep myself on track, she will be limited to the feature set of Femisapien scaled to 150cm with skates rather than walking. I find the limitation both frustrating and inspiring. My inner engineer always wants to push boundaries, but they're also why MaidCom is years behind schedule.
>>37668 >MaidCom0 Oh cool!! I personally think there's a lot of wisdom in this approach, Kiwi. The old adage: >"Start smol, grow big." is just as true today! :^) Keep moving forward. Cheers.

Galatea v2.1.0: Maid Robot GreerTech 01/14/2025 (Tue) 03:34:15 No.35623 [Reply] [Last]
For the most of 2024 and until now, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. I call her Galatea. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, less than $400 to make. It'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. The updated design makes the legs more proportionate, and a new head that's more anime styled, to increase cuteness. I also have a new robot base that's more powerful.

>>37519 Not yet, but I'm thinking of making an "advertisement" for her
>>37520 Please do this, Anon.
I deleted the original Galatea thread to make room for new threads, such as Galatea v3, since all the v1 files were all lost.
