A thread for links, examples, & discussion for software development & instruction; primarily intended to focus on Python & C++ & C (incl. Arduino). Additionally, other systems-oriented (eg, Forth, Ada); and other scripting-oriented (eg, Lua), &tc., programming language discussions are welcome. * Try to keep it practical! (ie, realworld-oriented) (eg, not the Scratch language [which might conceivably be a scripting paradigm, but not a systems one], or similar) Obviously the endgoal here ITT being discussing/providing the crafting of quality code & systems for our robowaifus. --- > threads-related: ( >>19777 ) ( >>12 ) ( >>159 ) ( >>14409 ) ( >>18749 ) ( >>4969 ) ( >>86 ) ( >>128 ) --- * Corpo-tr*on languages (+ other corpo & 'coffee du juor' languages) will be yeet'd ITT! (They have no place in serious opensource robowaifu systems discussions.)

What would be a good RW simulator. I guess I'd like to start with some type of PCG solution that just builds environments to start with and build from there up to characters.

It would be nice if the system wasn't just pre-canned, hard-coded assets and behaviors but was instead a true simulator system. EG, write robotics control software code that can actually calculate mechanics, kinematics, collisions, etc., and have that work correctly inside the basic simulation framework first with an eye to eventually integrating it into IRL Robowaifu mechatronic systems with little modifications. Sort of like the OpenAI Gym concept but for waifubots.

Your project is really disgusting >=== Notice #2: It's been a while since I locked this thread, and hopefully the evil and hateful spirit that was dominating some anons on the board has gone elsewhere. Accordingly I'll go ahead and unlock the thread again provisionally as per the conditions here: >>12557 Let's keep it rational OK? We're men here, not mere animals. Everyone stay focused on the prize we're all going for, and let's not get distracted. This thread has plenty of good advice in it. Mine those gems, and discard the rest. Notice:

What are the best designs and materials for creating a skeleton/framework for a mobile, life-sized gynoid robot?

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.

Dollmaking is an ancient art, dating back as far as recorded history. Throughout these many years, dollmakers have invented and innovated at a steady pace, making each doll just a little bit better than the last while still leaning on tried-and-true techniques. This thread is here to discuss those techniques, and other relevant aspects of the doll world (including mannequins and marionettes) which we can apply to make our own waifus. One common example most of you may have seen already is the ball-jointed doll. However, there is more than one type. Higher-end BJDs commonly use elastic string to bind limbs to sockets in a method not too dissimilar to how tendons link our bones. There are also peg linked joints. where you (usually) have two hemispheres connected to eachother and connecting two seperate limb parts with pegs. There are also double-joints which work on the same basic principle. The attached images show both principles. Simple hinges are also quite the staple. They often have varying levels of tightness, depending on the application. A marionette, for instance, will typically have very loose hinges which allow for great ease of movement via user-operated strings. A system like that is quite easy to motorize, though one would want to consider how to get the limbs to stay in position without constant motor input. On the more complex end of things, some dolls feature endoskeletons, which allow for more realistic sometimes and complex poses. However, in addition to being more complex, these are much more expensive, fragile, and difficult to repair. While some of these things could be solved here, I doubt that a perfect solution is realistic at this time. It's good to keep in mind, though. Outside of basic frame components, there are also the details, such as the eyes. Glass eyes have the interesting effect of "following" the viewer without requiring any motors or electronics. Weight and cost are both important considerations, however, especially for a full-size waifu with anime doe eyes. Resin eyes are also quite popular, as ithey're easier to make at home. Wigs, of course, are also important to consider. I assume everyone here will want their waifus to have hair, and said hair will be easier to install (and detach for cleaning) if treated as a seperate component. They're usually kept in place with simple elastic, and I imagine it'd be easy to introduce magnets into the equation for better stability. What do you guys think about these concepts, and what do you have to add? It's a vast field, with plenty of potential uses for waifu making. Concepts from doll-adjacent items, such as action figures, plushbots, puppets, etcetera are also welcome for discussion.

Thoughts on waifus which remain 2D/virtual but have their own dedicated hardware and AI. This is more on the artistry/visual design side though AI and high-tech is still involved. Examples of an actual waifu product are the Gatebox and Code27 https://www.gatebox.ai/ https://www.code27.co/ My favorite fictional example is Cortana from Halo Another good fictional example is Ritsu, she's a cute ai from Assassination Classroom whose body is a giant screen on wheels. Another good IRL example is the game MyRobot https://sgthale.itch.io/myrobot Previous thread >>240 Thumbnail source: https://www.deviantart.com/halomika/art/Cortana-Halo-4-426713488

I'd like to have a place to accumulate video links to various humanoid – particularly gynoid – robotics projects are out there. Whether they are commercial scale or small scale projects, if they involve humanoid robots post them here. Bonus points if it's the work of a lone genius. I'll start, Ricky Ma of Hong Kong created a stir by creating a gynoid that resembled Scarlett Johansson. It's an ongoing project he calls an art project. I think it's pretty impressive even if it can't walk yet. https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=ZoSfq-jHSWw === Instructions on how to use yt-dlp to save videos ITT to your computer: (>>16357)

MaidCom Project Thread 2 Project Goal: Simple, low cost, extensible platform for robowaifu development. Picrel shows the model which is being developed. Every part will be designed to be easily printable and replaceable. Her designs will be open source. Modding and customization will be encouraged. This is a base model. Early revisions will be heavily limited in functionality. I invite you to help design and define standards so that it is easy to create specialized add-ons to allow her to become your own waifu. Collaboration is important, MaidCom is officially partnered with Lin and his Waifu Wheelchair, if you'd also like to be officially partnered, say so. Cat eats and miniskirts are encouraged! <--- Previous thread: ( >>15630 ) >=== -add crosslink
