Why don't you publish this on a repo now? >dont know if c++ has a better way of doing bit manipulation since it makes the code a mess Most of it's original capability for this is directly derived from C, of course. OTOH, C++ now has intrinsic support for so-called bitfields, bitsets, & vector<bool> 's [1][2][3], so all the benefits of containers (ie, iterators, algorithms, span views, etc.) all come into play there.

Then just execute the command: clang-format against any files you want properly formatted to the standard. <---> update: Well, lol. My file won't fit into a single post.

Artificial Wombs general Robowaifu Technician 09/12/2019 (Thu) 03:11:54 No.157 [Reply] [Last]

I think we need to figure out how to fit a womb onto a waifubot. Where's the fun in having sex if you can't procreate?

Repost from a thread on /b/;
>"If you're like me and want to fuck a qt battlebot and get her pregnant, the best place to put an artificial womb is where a normal womb would be on a normal girl. The metal exterior could simply be a bunch of metal plates that unfold to allow space for the womb pod inside. The baby is probably safest inside the battlebot, and if she has good calibration then there shouldn't be problems with her falling and hurting the baby. After giving birth the metal plates could automatically fold back up again, shrinking the womb pod inside so she is combat effective again."

Well /robowaifu/? Feasible?

Making money with AI and robowaifus Robowaifu Technician 11/30/2019 (Sat) 03:07:12 No.1642 [Reply] [Last]

The greatest challenge to building robowaifus is the sheer cost of building robots and training AI. We should start brainstorming ways we can leverage our abilities with AI to make money. Even training AI quickly requires expensive hardware and computer clusters. The faster we can increase our compute power, the more money we can make and the quicker we can be on our way to building our robowaifus. Art Generation Waifu Labs sells pillows and posters of the waifus it generates, although this has caused concern and criticism due to it sometimes generating copyrighted characters from not checking if generated characters match with training data. https://waifulabs.com/ Deepart.io provides neural style transfer services. Users can pay for expedited service and high resolution images. https://deepart.io/ PaintsChainer takes sketches and colours them automatically with some direction from the user, although it's not for profit it could be turned into a business with premium services. https://paintschainer.preferred.tech/index_en.html I work as an artist and have dabbled with training my own AIs that can take a sketch and generate many different thumbnails that I've used to finish paintings. I've also created an AI that can generate random original thumbnails from a training set. In the future when I have more compute power my goal is to create an AI that does the mundane finishing touches to my work which consumes over 80% of my time painting. Applying AI to art will have huge potential in entertainment and marketing for animation, games and virtual characters. Market Research

In another community, dedicated to love dolls, we recognize that Taiwanese factories are producing better sculpts than what you have there. On the technical side, are you using a fully custom OS? How locked down is it? Do you have more details besides "robust processor"? Perhaps your presentation is just out-dated. If so, it needs to shift to a more technical focus to attract the people who want to make waifus.

id like to hear some reasons on what the advantage of making the maidbot opensource are. i say maidbot because apparently sex bot is off limits around here. if its to be made opensource it should be gpl if its to be made for profit itd be however much harder. i dont see selling individual unlicensed kits as viable. even with the gpl only the us might respect that license and might.

An idea for for waifu computers. I expect the sweet spot price wise is standard PC mini ATX motherboards. Another good choice would be the Mini-ITX is a 170 mm × 170 mm (6.7 in × 6.7 in) motherboard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-ITX These usually are fan less but most would be lacking in computing power. Micro ATX 244x244mm (9.6×9.6 inches) likely would be the best for performance while staying manageable in size. You would have to have a full size waifu to fit it though. The problem is waifus are, or need to be, able to go in water to wash themselves and they are going to get wet. So I was thinking a good way to to waterproof them would be to use standard food packaging material. Vacuum packing. On the other side of this you could make a plastic box enclosing all the electronics and run water over the whole board through this box for cooling. The box would make a firm mount for the motherboard and contain the water cooling. The plastic film would stay cool and keep the water off the electronics while providing excellent cooling. This could be circulated through the body to simulate body heat. If it would not be too expensive you could use optical outputs to carry signals in and out of the board.

I call this little jewel the robowaifu's Breadbox, and if push-comes-to-shove, thermal-engineering-wise, then we'll actually need to duct cooling tubes into the thing to keep the electronics cool.

I found this project and it looks interesting. Robots wives appeal to me because i'm convinced human woman and humans in general have flaws that make having close relationships with them a waste of energy. I'm a pathetic freshman engineering student who knows barely anything about anything. Honestly, I think current technology isn't at a place that could produce satisfying results for me at least. I'd like something better than an actual person, not a compromise. Even then the technology is there, I have my doubts it'll be affordable to make on your own. Fingers crossed though. Anyway, what kind of behavior would you like from your robot wife? I'd like mine to be unemotional, lacking in empathy, stoic and disinterested in personal gain or other people. I think human woman would be improved if they were like that. Sorry if this thread is inappropriate.

John Lennox is an eminent Christian thinker & science apologist, a Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. In this clip he forecasts robowaifus. He briefly considers Free Will, Justice, & Provision. I can't personally say much about this channel or it's host (not knowing them), but I can highly-recommend John Lennox in general (whom I've studied for years). I'm concerned that he's bought into the (((official narrative))) on the holohoax, but regardless, he uses the anecdote correctly in this context. Lennox's segment ends at 7:57, but YT no longer supports using the '&end=777' directive, apologies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXYP37p6oT4&start=89&end=777 >the original source talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9scK_xKfWM8 >an even earlier mention of robowaifus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0xyapiZ2pM >=== -rm misstated talk date

Modular Platform, "Assistant": Wheelchair-style robot base to jumpstart projects Lin 08/21/2023 (Mon) 01:14:26 No.24744 [Reply] [Last]

Lord knows I'm terrible at these writeups, so I'd recommend glancing at the attached CAD screenshots to get a quick idea of what this project is about-- on that note, most of this post will be copy/pasted stuff from the design docs, mainly stuff that won't change, so apologies in advance. Long story short, I've talked to a bunch of guys, both on the chans and elsewhere, who have some great ideas but aren't sure where/how to get started. My hope is that a (comparatively) simple, modular base that provides power, movement, and basic sensor data will let them get started on their own project without having to re-invent the wheel (and get nerd-sniped in the process.) # Brief The purpose of this platform is to establish a generalized "blueprint" of a (comparatively) cheap, human-scale "modular base platform" that can be built by a capable layman and maintained by a hobo, while supporting and powering any "robo payload" <= 75lbs, 5kW. Emphasis is placed on all parts being readily available or substitutable, and could conceivably be built from salvage at near zero cost (or in the face of malicious sales restriction), excepting digital controllers. Durability has also been prioritized, with over-engineered tolerances and (optional) bilateral redundancy for everything but the drive motors. Sacrifices have been made to accommodate this vision (primarily weight, though to a lesser extent, performance), and Builders with access to specialized tools or a higher budget will likely want to tweak the design (ex. using aluminum T-Slot instead of right-angle stock, welds in place of frame bolts, etc.) The design is purposefully made to resemble (and, if necessary, function as) a wheelchair (see reasoning below.) ## Project Budget Target Cost: $2,500 USD-2023 with new, mid-grade parts, excepting computer/processor. (realistically, I expect this to be closer to $3,500 in the short term, until people more clever than I improve some of the design's weaknesses/sacrifices) ## Prototype Info - Prototype Budget: $10,000 USD-2023 - (I have access to specialized equipment and labor (at a price), including a commercial 3D printer, 5-axis mill, welding, lifts, etc.) - First design revision expected by the new year (2024). Physical construction to begin Spring 2024. Basic electronic control system, motor/BMS interface to be somewhat complete between January and (Spring) 2024.

Been a while, my brothers-in-/robowaifu/. As anyone could have predicted, my team’s responsibilities didn’t end as cleanly as our calendar promised, but it’s “within epsilon” and I’ll have a decent amount of free time again starting from this weekend. Other than that, I managed to do a decent amount of physical design testing during the last couple months, which did lead to a few mechanisms being tweaked and one in the process of being redesigned (details next post) Anyway, part orders were delayed a bit-- there’s a few funny stories there, but it boils down to my being spoiled by having access to an ordering department/personnel... I have a newfound appreciation for all they do, let me tell you. Ended up automating most of what I could, which (hopefully) will make ordering less painful in the future. Hoping to get raw material stock (to which I didn’t attach part numbers during design) ordered mid-month. TL;DR: The last major part order should be placed the next week or two? I’ll have an hour or two on weekdays to work on my robot, but... I also have a lot of learning to do when it comes to machining, so I’ve ordered a decent amount of spare stock for when I inevitably screw something up. (another post coming later today or tomorrow detailing design changes) Also, going forward, my posts regarding solo projects will be a lot less detailed unless someone has specific questions/input (anyone here is free to ask, of course.) No deeper reason-- since I’m strapped for time, it’s just a lot more fun to spend my free time designing stuff than talking about it.

>>31527 Hi Lin, welcome back! >spoiled Heheh, sounds like it. :D For us lowly, inexperienced plebeians any experience/advice you've picked up from more-closely managing your own supply chain(s) would be much-appreciated! :^) >project progress Good luck with your parts orders and any further redesign efforts needed for The Assistant. Looking forward to your incoming post(s). >lower-detail post content As one of your local 'followers' here on /robowaifu/ , I personally look forward to & appreciate any details you share here with those of us planning to attempt creating our own copy of your work. There's also the 'public archive' aspect for the broader Anon community we all share & benefit from by any valuable information posted here on this public IB /robowaifu/ (as opposed to, say, Doxxcord where it's lost to everyone but the Globohomo forever). This ongoing-archive benefit also extends out into the future ofc -- even to those new Anons who haven't even arrived here yet! -- so it's a gift that 'keeps on giving'. I don't want to urge you, but just asking you to consider the issue through other "eyes". :^) --- Regardless, we've all already benefitted from your efforts which you've shared here with us. For that, a hearty thank you (same extended to every other productive Anon here)! Cheers, Anon. :^)

Seems like it's been a while since the board has heard from you, Anon? How's things going?

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.
gatebox.ai/sp/

My favorite example is Ritsu, she's a cute ai from assassination classroom who's body is a giant screen on wheels.

>>33659 Hello Anon, welcome! Please have a good look around the board while you're here. If you'd care to, you can introduce yourself to everyone more-fully in our Embassy thread : ( >>2823 ). Wow! That's really impressive, Anon. >>33660 This second video really highlights the 3D appearance of your waifu in there. Do you have plans to animate the waifu in the future? What about her voice? Audiovisual ambient effects? Maybe texting Master to "Hurry home, please!" while he's having a long day at work as a Salaryman? :^) >There are still lots of improvements to be made, but I'm pretty happy with the basic concept as its turned out. You should be! I'd say with just a few tweaks for media-development+packaging, you will have something you could market. I'd expect it would be very popular in E. Asia today. Good luck, Anon!

>>33659 Very cool. I'm working on a chatbot library now that I originally started to attach to a project similar to yours. Are you displaying a 3d model or sprites? I'm assuming you have a 3d model either way. One simple-ish thing you can do is animate it to switch between poses. If you want to try controlling it with AI, I have some ideas based on image generation, video generation, and pose inference, though it'll be a nontrivial amount of work. (3d animation AI models are probably not good for this. Tried it for ponies, and I think it's too difficult to get something working with the current state of animation AI. Though maybe the vtubers have better tech to work with since they're not doing quadrupeds.)
