Robowaifu Simulator Robowaifu Technician 09/12/2019 (Thu) 03:07:13 No.155 [Reply] [Last]
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.

>>35161 This, but it'd sure be nice to have a waifu that could handle a maul for you in a pinch. :D
>>35117 Right now, I'm not even sure how to do a full simulation of what I would want to build. I hope there will just be a general humanoid model that I can download and approximate mine to it. I don't believe in humanoid robots doing their movements through precise planning. It will be a guesstimate and then looking at the sensors while moving. The current Teslabot also seems to use a form of very fast neural network: https://youtu.be/xxoLCQTN0KA

>>35179 I'm working on the cad for the body. Its important to me that it has an adjustable spine because that will play a bit part in making the robot flexible. I will share the cad but I don't and it to be public. I want to share it with people that will be working on this. Please invite me on github https://github.com/peteblank The choice of her body being thicc is not only because of preference but because it needs to house the components. The weight distribution will also be selected based on the center of gravity. The center of gravity should be on the middle(I think) I have a theory that it ought to have a decent chest weight to act as a counterweight for the spine pulling(think of the stability of pulling a bag of cement vs puling a wrench) I'm planning on making the test robot walk near the end of January. it'll have empty boxes on the chest to add and take away weights to test the balance. Since its been decided the simulation should be on isaac(i'd prefer gazebo because its the industry standard and you can get a job with it) Can't find any gazebo/nvidia isaac tutorials atm
>>35202 no seems isaac is the industry standard now. ok then.

>other, more expensive models, are wi-fi compatible, but you purposely chose the cheapest option with no wireless connectivity, not just because you're cheap, because you don't want people spying on your waifu

>you know that you chose those options, but when the robot asks you for your name, you still answer just as awkwardly as when a real girl would ask you your name at the bank or whatever
>actually, more awkwardly because your fingers are inside it. So you freeze up, as you do even in simpler situations
>but the robot is programmed for your happiness, and detects your stress, smiling at you in an attempt to make you feel better. But only briefly, because you programmed it with just the mildest hint of tsundere
>it tells you to not feel stressed, and assures you that it is not being damaged by your touch
>you remove yourself from the robot's vagina, and notice a brief, subtle shudder. Nice attention to detail from the creators
>You stand up in front of the robot and watch it as it looks around the room, studying its surroundings. It moves in an unnaturally smooth motion, but manages to not be too uncanny due to looking like a robot, rather than a human.
>as the robot's eyes scan the room, you notice that they stop for just a tiny but longer than usual as they look straight ahead. Straight ahead at your boner, which happens to be right at the small robot's face level.
>once again your mind forgets that you are dealing with a machine, and you awkwardly try to create small talk to diffuse the situation, asking the robot if it requires anything else at the moment. It declines, and instead asks if there is anything you desire
>you, the autist you are, refuse to let the robot do anything for you, and instead say that you are going to go and make a sandwich.
>you tell the robot to make itself comfortable, then cringe to yourself when you realize the absurdity of that statement.

>>32868 Charming work, Greentext anon. Very-endearing. Cheers. :^)
Merry one hour after Christmas, everyone. This story is one that's been sitting on one drive or another half-finished for around two years. I can't really say why it's been so troublesome to finish, even though it was never meant to be that long or complex in the first place, but it was. I thought it appropriate to break through my burnout streak by finally forcing myself to sit down and finish it. As always, do let me know what you think. --- Synthetic Wildflower A cool spring breeze weaves through the sunlit forest, giddily dancing through budding branches and underbrush as they sway in kind to the subtle tune of nature. The ambience is accompanied by the chirping and chittering of songbirds, now returning from their winter homes. Twittering as they flitter to and fro, fleeting notes of color amidst the green. Suddenly, new sounds join the harmony. The soft, methodical beat of my boots against the forest floor, marching a steady beat. More boots, these ones belonging to my wife Dako.

DCC Design Tools & Training Robowaifu Technician 09/18/2019 (Wed) 11:42:32 No.415 [Reply] [Last]
Creating robowaifus requires lots and lots of design and artistry. It's not all just nerd stuff you know Anon! :^) ITT: Add any techniques, tips, tricks, or content links for any Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools and training to use when making robowaifus. >note: This isn't the 'Post Your Robowaifu-related OC Arts & Designs General' thread. We'll make one of those later perhaps. >--- I spent some time playing with the program Makehuman and I'll say I wasn't impressed. 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) >===

Open-Source Licenses Comparison Robowaifu Technician 07/24/2020 (Fri) 06:24:05 No.4451 [Reply] [Last]
Hi anons! After looking at the introductory comment in >>2701 which mentions the use of the MIT licence for robowaifu projects. I read the terms: https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT Seems fine to me, however I've also been considering the 3-clause BSD licence: https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause >>4432 The reason I liked this BSD licence is the endorsement by using the creator's name (3rd clause) must be done by asking permission first. I like that term as it allows me to decide if I should endorse a derivative or not. Do you think that's a valid concern? Initially I also thought that BSD has the advantage of forcing to retain the copyright notice, however MIT seems to do that too. It has been mentioned that MIT is already used and planned to be used. How would the these two licences interplay with each other? Can I get a similar term applied from BSD's third clause but with MIT?

Robowaifu Propaganda and Recruitment Thread 2: Now in Technicolor™ Greentext anon 12/08/2024 (Sun) 18:26:29 No.34750 [Reply]
Attention drawfags and writefags! Your skills will be needed! The task of building and designing a robowaifu is a herculean quest. As great as this community is, /robowaifu/ simply does not have the manpower to real our goal of DIY robowaifus. Luckily for us there are several communities on the internet that we could find new recruits or allies to help us build our waifus: >MGTOW - These guys know all about the legal pitfalls of marriage and the dangers of feminism. There is already a lot of talk about sex robots in MGTOW communities. It shouldn't be a hard sell to get them to come here. <However, some of these guys would rather spend all their time bitching on the internet about "MUH WOMENZ" than actually getting a hobby other than lifting heavy objects and putting them down again. MGTOW is literally Feminist Separatism for males. >Incels - Guys that can't get laid. The opportunity for love and companionship should be enough to bring some of these guys over. <However, we need to be careful when recruiting from some of their communities, since they may be compomised by glownigs or other fringe elements. We don't want to attract negative attention. >Monster girls/furry/mlp fandoms - The only way these guys are going to be able to have their harpy/elf/goblin/anthro/pony/whatever gf is with a robowaifu. Many have an interest in seeing us succeed. <However, there exists a very wide variety of communities under this umbrella, and there is a notable overlap between communities who would want robowaifus and communities that are morally compromised, so care should be taken when looking into them. Romanticists and waifufags have a tendency to congregate since they all want/create the same type of content, so looking for those subgroups would be the most efficient path. >Otakus - Many men in these communities want to see their waifu/favorite character come to life, which will realistically only happen with robowaifus. <However, many of those communities are drowning in the LGBT alphabet soup. Special care should be taken when looking into them. >Male STEM students - Generally these guys aren't going to get laid until after they have established themselves. A robowaifu could really help them.

CNC Machine Thread Robowaifu Technician 05/12/2020 (Tue) 02:13:40 No.2991 [Reply] [Last]
Many of the parts needed to build our robowaifus will need to be custom made and they will need to be metal. For parts that have a high tolerance for imperfections a 3d printer can print a mold and then a small scale foundry can be used to cast the piece with metal (probably copper or aluminum). BUT there will be pieces that need a higher degree of precision (such as joints). For these pieces a CNC machine would be useful. CNC machines can widely range in size, price, and accuracy and I would like to find models suitable for our purposes. I know there are CNC machines available that can cut up to copper for under $300, but I don't know if that will be enough for our purposes. (https://www.sainsmart.com/products/sainsmart-genmitsu-cnc-router-pro-diy-kit?variant=15941458296905&currency=USD&utm_campaign=gs-2018-08-06&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign) Some CNC machines can be used to engrave printed circuit boards and that may prove useful for our purposes as well. Are there any anons that know more about CNC machines? Anons looking to buy one ask your questions here.

Here's something related to parts building I've been thinking about, a lot, lately. Isogrids. Here's a killer link that I ran across talking about these. It's where I first heard of them. This guy made a surfboard out of quarter Isogrids of cardboard and then fiberglassed it. Now I'm not saying make waifus from cardboard. I'm trying to point out the extreme strength of these Isogrids. I read they have in some cases an order of magnitude strength to weight increase. That's 10 times or 10,000 percent better strength to weight. Now this is for traditional Isogrids noted in the last paper I linked. In a ballistic missile case they got, "...built by the Air Force Research Lab on the Combined Experiments program. This grid structure was 61% lighter, 300% stronger, and 1000% stiffer than the aluminum structure it replaced..." That is some serious improvement. But the real winner is this Quarter grid Isostructure that the surf board guy came up with. He says he thought it up but after looking around he found he was not the first. He's very humble because the idea is a killer good one that he stumbled on all by himself. Have a look at this super easy to build, high strength structure here, https://www.sheldrake.net/quarter_isogrid/ The key and big takeaway is this just a bunch of flat pieces with notches cut in them. So you could make this out of whatever flat stock you could get your hands on and have a super strong structure. One thing I noticed is that it's somewhat one dimensional structurally. But there's no reason at all you could not cut slots in three sides so that now you have a structure with slats providing strength in three dimensions made out of nothing but flat pieces with slots cut in them. A good search for stuff they are making of them is "quarter Isogrids" and "Isogrid furniture". They're making all sorts of stuff from them. More traditional Isogrids below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isogrid Grid Stiffened Structures_A survey of fabrication, analysis and design methods https://iccm-central.org/Proceedings/ICCM12proceedings/site/papers/pap357.pdf
