And most of our designs for a waifu also include a head. This 'thrown weight' of the head at the end of that multi-nodal complex lever (the spine) is indeed an interesting kinematics problem even were it hard-mounted just to a tabletop. Throw in the fact that its instead mounted to a hips structure; and that 'mounted' atop a bipedal, multi-nodal pair of complex levers (the legs/knees/ankles/feet/toes complexes); and you have quite a fun problemspace to work!

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. Redesign: https://youtu.be/-zqZ-izx-7w More: https://youtu.be/3pmj-ESVuoU Finger prototype: https://youtu.be/MxbX9iKGd6w CMC joint: https://youtu.be/DqGq5mnd_n4 I think the thread about sensoric skin >>242 is closely related to this topic, because it will be difficult to build a hand which also has good sensory input. We'll have to come up with some very small GelSight-like sensors. F3 hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/JPTnVLJH4SY https://youtu.be/j_8Pvzj-HdQ Festo hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/5e0F14IRxVc Thread >>417 is about Prosthetics, especially Open Prosthetics. This can be relevant to some degree. However, the constraints are different. We might have more space in the forearms, but we want marvelous sensors in the hands and have to connect them to the body.

Related: >>35641 >Functional evaluation of a non-assembly 3D-printed hand prosthesis > ... developed a new approach for the design and 3D printing of non-assembly active hand prostheses using inexpensive 3D printers working on the basis of material extrusion technology. This article describes the design of our novel 3D-printed hand prosthesis and also shows the mechanical and functional evaluation in view of its future use in developing countries. We have fabricated a hand prosthesis using 3D printing technology and a non-assembly design approach that reaches certain level of functionality. The mechanical resistance of critical parts, the mechanical performance, and the functionality of a non-assembly 3D-printed hand prosthesis were assessed. The mechanical configuration used in the hand prosthesis is able to withstand typical actuation forces delivered by prosthetic users. Moreover, the activation forces and the energy required for a closing cycle are considerably lower as compared to other body-powered prostheses. The non-assembly design achieved a comparable level of functionality with respect to other body-powered alternatives. We consider this prosthetic hand a valuable option for people with arm defects in developing countries. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/0954411919874523

For those who want animu grills IRL. Most robots have uncanny 3DPD faces that aren't nearly as cute as a real 2D waifu. With flat designs/screens, the face can keep the purity and beauty of 2D. There's still heaps of potential for producing low cost robots by reducing mass, power requirements, & simplifying design.

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.

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.

Funny part is... their father hates them as much (or more, likely) as he does all of us (and every other creature). Satan's overarching plot is literally to destroy.all.life. Like the devil's goodest, bestest, supplicant little shabbos golems, (((they))) are persistent at carrying out their father's will. They somehow can't see (are blinded to, actually) the fact that this will of their father also includes their own destructions.

>>37902 Ehh, it's early yet. Patience, Anon. Battery lifes will improve as humanoid masses come down & actuator efficiencies go up. And these prices will drop precipitously over the next few years, I predict (at least for consumer-oriented models such as this one).

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.
