Humanoid Robot Projects Videos Robowaifu Technician 09/18/2019 (Wed) 04:02:08 No.374 [Reply] [Last]

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)

Bipedal Robot Locomotion General Robowaifu Technician 09/15/2019 (Sun) 05:57:42 No.237 [Reply] [Last]

We need to talk about bipedal locomotion. It's a complicated topic but one that has to be solved if we are ever to have satisfyingly believable robowaifus. There has surely already been a lot of research done on this topic, and we need to start digging and find the info that's out there. There are some projects that have at least partial robolegs solutions working, but none that I know of that look very realistic yet. We likely won't come up with some master-stroke of genius and solve everyone's problems here on /robowaifu/, but we should at least take a whack at it who knows? We certainly can't accomplish anything if we don't try.

I personally believe we should be keeping the weight out of the extremities – including the legs – while other anons think that we should add weight to the feet for balance. What's you're ideas anon? How do we control the gait? How do we adjust for different conditions? What if our robowaifu is carrying things? What about the legs during sex? Should we focus on the maths behind MIP (Mobile Inverted Pendulum), or is there a different approach that would be more straightforward? A mixture? Maybe we can even do weird stuff like reverse-knee legs that so many animals have. Robofaun waifu anyone? What about having something like heelys or bigger wheels in the feet as well?

I'm pretty sure if we just put our heads together and don't stop trying, we'll eventually arrive at least one good general solution to the problem of creating bipedal robot legs.

>Energy optimization during walking involves implicit processing [1] >Gait adaptations, in response to novel environments, devices or changes to the body, can be driven by the continuous optimization of energy expenditure. However, whether energy optimization involves implicit processing (occurring automatically and with minimal cognitive attention), explicit processing (occurring consciously with an attention-demanding strategy) or both in combination remains unclear. Here, we used a dual-task paradigm to probe the contributions of implicit and explicit processes in energy optimization during walking. To create our primary energy optimization task, we used lower-limb exoskeletons to shift people's energetically optimal step frequency to frequencies lower than normally preferred. Our secondary task, designed to draw explicit attention from the optimization task, was an auditory tone discrimination task. We found that adding this secondary task did not prevent energy optimization during walking; participants in our dual-task experiment adapted their step frequency toward the optima by an amount and at a rate similar to participants in our previous single-task experiment. We also found that performance on the tone discrimination task did not worsen when participants were adapting toward energy optima; accuracy scores and reaction times remained unchanged when the exoskeleton altered the energy optimal gaits. Survey responses suggest that dual-task participants were largely unaware of the changes they made to their gait during adaptation, whereas single-task participants were more aware of their gait changes yet did not leverage this explicit awareness to improve gait adaptation. Collectively, our results suggest that energy optimization involves implicit processing, allowing attentional resources to be directed toward other cognitive and motor objectives during walking. >Humans Are Designed to Think While Walking [2] >One of my favorite things to do when I am on vacation is hike in the mountains and take in as much scenery and contact with wildlife as possible. The former requires that I stay in good enough physical conditioning that I can achieve 15+ miles of mountain hiking per day. Therefore, when I am not on vacation, I go for a two-to-four-mile run every day before breakfast. That morning routine keeps me in physical shape and prepares me to undertake the research and writing projects for that day. Our problems are much, much simpler than God's were when He was designing us human beings with all our facilities, including these two. However, I'd say it's a good model for us to follow. After all, robowaifus should be able to talk with us about different things; like being young newlyweds while she's cooking a meal for us upstairs at the pub, right Anon? :^) Maybe Carver Mead's (et al) Neuromorphics can help us all out with this a bit. To wit: push the computation out to the edges of a [robowaifu's] system[s]. That way, while the 'autonomous' things are happening, her central-core computation mesh can be freed up to talk with us about important things. 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34521117/ 2. https://reasons.org/explore/blogs/todays-new-reason-to-believe/humans-are-designed-to-think-while-walking >=== -minor fmt edit -add 'important things' cmnt

Reinforcement Learning for simulated & real robot walking controllers Pareto Frontier 07/27/2022 (Wed) 04:27:20 No.17064

I think this general approach should be applicable, it is validated in real-life swiss quadruped robot [1] and in simulated [2] & real bipedals [3]. Compared to less-validated approaches it's a clear winner. You don't have to implement it in main AI, it's better if it runs on a small low-latency auxilary NN. It doesn't require too much compute or data, and the gait can be tuned via adding energy expenditure & smoothness terms to the loss. You can also include mocap data and tune the model on it for humanlike gait. 1. https://leggedrobotics.github.io/rl-blindloco/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sO7VS3q8d0 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx_bgoTF7bs 3. https://techxplore.com/news/2021-04-robot.html

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.

We'll have to come up with some very small GelSight-like sensors.

>>8651 Cheap but reasonably powerful (like MG996R that can produce up to 15kg starting torque at 6V) analog servos weight around 55g each. There are 15 servos on that arm (3 for each finger it seems). So servos alone would weight 825g. And that's only for fingers actuation! There supposed to be more moving parts in that part of the arm but as you can see on the vid there's barely any space left and construction itself doesn't look like it was designed for anything more than this one demo. There are smaller and lighter servos. And they cost a lot. I think they can weight something like 15g. That would make 15x15=225(g). Better but super expensive.Imagine paying 750-1500$ just for servos that move only fingers on only one hand. It seems like they are using something like that in their vid because servos are tiny.

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.

>>16643 I'm pretty big on transhumanism myself, but I don't see a perfect woman coming out of the tech priest program. >>16644 I am partial to the idea of using xenocyborgs with biocomputers for brains personally. It should be easier to get something capable of processing multiple parallel processes at once to think like us than traditional AI.

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.

>>16522 yup. btw forgot another one. (Jun 3. 2022) pretty new tech. 36 microseconds vs 9000 yrs. one such unit would destroy the entire nvidia tensor gpus line :/ https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2206/03/news172.html It's a pity, (((amazon))) have already stuck their paws in there!

>>16615 It should be noted that quantum supermacy-type calculations aren't of any use except being provably hard enough for classical systems to simulate. My bet is we will train general intelligence on a classical hardware years before any quantum hardware is up to the task.

>>16620 This doesn't seem correct. Considering how Gaussian Boson Sampling can be done one trillion times faster than the fastest supercomputers today. A ratio of a minute to 100 million is simply astonishing. China took leadership easily by using a 76-photon prototype. We are just beginning to learn about advantages of quantum computing. In the next 5-10 years we will discover a lot more computational advantages. > we will train general intelligence on a classical hardware Due to scaling laws of neural nets there will never be such thing as AGI. Maybe human level AI (HLAI). Any computing system can only represent efficiently (through a short program) a tiny subset of all possible outputs. Most outputs require a program as long as themselves. Algorithmic approximability can be achieved only to degree. And most Turing reducible problems are exactly those which can be limit computed. So to go beyond you have to use algorithmic approximability. And this implies that general intelligence therefore is not possible for a subset of all possible outputs.

>>16628 Truthfully things that generate headlines like the gaussian boson sampling that you speak of are no more than toy problems that do not translate to generalized approaches. It doesn't matter whether a triangular prism can do optical FFT 100 million or 100 billion times as fast (latency, bandwidth?) as some super computer, it fundamentally cannot be generalized in any comparable way. I think people hype photonics too darn much. I believe within the next 10-20 we will see nothing but more improvements to classical microarctecture. Eventually we will find better ways to take advantage of laws of nature to compute for us (like that light prism) but it's certainly not going to be the hypebait you see today
