Early Business Ideas Robowaifu Technician 05/13/2020 (Wed) 22:36:03 No.3119 [Reply]
So those of us getting ready to make prototypes are still pretty far away from building the $2000 kits that we need to buildm. This sucks because we are going to be spending a lot on the initial investments, but I think I know how we can make a little money on the side to help on the side; twitch and fansonly. Betas and simps give their money to thots all the time on those site I'm positive they would give money to a crude prototype especially if it offered something unique. Bonus points because we are making money of simps, and we are taking business from thots. If you have any idea on how to make money in the early stages feel free to share them, anon. > related thread: >>1642

>>3119 slumming the various posts - ultimately its the style of interface that will limit what costs what. If there's going to be some kind of marketing of a product, robo waifu/nandroids should probably be approached from the POV of an AR/AI Productivity management tool that offers styles of positive reinforcement through meeting various mile-markers. The core of this is going to be how GOOD the conversations are and what way the communication is being done. Txt is obviously the lowest cost. AI Voices will require licenses. next step up would be a level of AR interactivity. TBH if i were to run some kinda project management/development management first, I'd lazer focus on rocket-boosting the AI/machine learning used for chatting/motivating/rewarding with sweetness/lewdness/etc. grab the key emotional/intellectual aspect of interactivity and make sure its hitting the bullseye. have there been such efforts? I know nothing about AI/machine learning but seeing as how most folks here are chomping at the bit to have a nandroid, is there some way to gather data from multiple users to fine tune response styles and have it used as a part of the learning reference data for the AI in general?
>>29589 I think it mostly comes down to two things (in our specific domain's case), Anon: 1. General startup inertia (both literal & figurative) in industries that rely significantly on physical materials/manufacture (as opposed to primarily 'soft' industries). 2. FUD regarding the stranglehold of feminism on the culture. This is created by the GH ofc -- who oh just so happen to run the Central Banks with their fiat money printing presses as well..., so no real surprise. So, two things are coming down the pipe for robowaifus in particular: 1. This will start up as a grassroots movement, just as embodied in /robowaifu/, et al, and then be taken up by smaller interests -- probably mostly from the Far East. 2. Once the undeniable appeal and clearly yuge market demand becomes apparent even to normals, then the GH will 'suddenly' do a 180 and """inform""" the world that, "Yes, we've always been at war with Eurasia we'll need humanoid robots b/c muh_economy, and we'll condescend to allowing you vermin to have even personal robots as well -- aren't we nice!? (for only a nominal fee of no less than 35% [and up] of your monthly UBI budget) * plus absolute & complete, invasive surveillance & remote-control (by our agents), given to you for no additional charge! (so don't miss those payments)" >tl;dr Just say no to their evil plots. IMO we here on /robowaifu/ -- and other DIY-alikes similar to us -- are already on the only viable pathway into the future of loving, affordable, open-source, 100% disconnected robowaifus to help out men (males specifically) the world-over. >>29598 >slumming the various posts Thanks for gracing us with your favor & presence, friend.

Of course complete robots or kits for them would be far more complex devices, but if you are thinking of setting up your own small (to start) business, it's a look at some of what would be involved, just a small example so you won't be completely overwhelmed and just give up.

/robowaifu/ + /all things monster girl/; it's benefits, projects, the uncanny valley, etc. Robowaifu Technician 05/03/2021 (Mon) 14:02:40 No.10259 [Reply] [Last]
Discussing the potential benefits of creating monster girls via robotics instead of 1 to 1 replicas of humans and what parts can be substituted to get them in production as soon as possible. Firstly is the fact that many of the animal parts that could be substituted for human one are much simpler to work with than the human appendages, which have a ton of bones and complex joints in the hands and feet, My primary example of this is bird/harpy species (image 1), which have relatively simple structures and much less complexity in the hands and feet. For example, the wings of the bird species typically only have around three or four joints total, compared to the twenty-seven in the human hand, while the legs typically only have two or three, compared to the thirty-three in the human foot. As you can guess, having to work with a tenth of the bones and joints and opposable thumbs and all that shit makes things incredibly easier to work with. And while I used bird species as an example, the same argument could be put forward for MG species with paws and other more simplistic appendages, such as Bogey (image 2) and insect hybrids (image 3). Secondly is intentionally making it appear to not be human in order to circumvent the uncanny valley. It's incredibly difficult to make completely convincing human movement, and one of the simplest ways around that is just to suspend the need for it entirely. We as humans are incredibly sensitive to the uncanny valley of our own species, even something as benign as a prosthetic limb can trigger it, but if we were to create something that we don't expect to move in such a way, it's theoretically entirely possible to just not have to deal with it (for the extremities part of it, anyways), leaving more time to focus on other aspects, such as the face. On the topic of face, so too could slight things be substituted there (again for instance, insect girls), in order to draw attention away from the uncanny valley until technology is advanced enough that said uncanny valley can be eliminated entirely. These possibilities, while certainly not to the taste of every anon, could be used as a way to accelerate production to the point that it picks up investors and begins to breed competition and innovation among people with wayyyyyyy more money and manpower than us, which I believe should be the endgoal for this board as a whole. . Any ideas or input is sincerely appreciated.

>>25707 >>26014 > The conclusion I came to was that you’d need at least 5 separate contractile regions, all independently addressable, AND able to contract dY for the snake-bot to be capable of any generalized sort of locomotion. Yes, that's just what the design I described should do. By having the cable winches attached to several disc vertebrae down-body from each winch, the overlap of each set of cables emulates the overlap of muscles in a snake's body. In this way the contraction of each set of cables can be individually controlled to either stand alone or gang together over a distance of several vertebrae, and the size of each "muscle" group (and therefore the number of muscle groups) can be varied on the fly by the controlling code. The operation of the cable winch groups can be done in sequence along the body to emulate the sinuous movement of a snake, and the winch-and-cable sets in the vertical plane for coiling the body can be used to adjust the areas of contact with the surface the body is moving over. To be clear, each vertebra is attached to several winches by cables, and can be acted upon by one or any number of the cables attached to it. The force of each winch is spread over several vertebrae, but several winches acting on each vertebrae combine to increase the force applied. By varying the spacing of the vertebrae discs, the diameter of each vertebrae disc, vs the diameter of the foam body and the resiliency of the foam used for the body (say 8" dia. vertebrae spaced 6" and 12" body dia.), it should be possible for the coils to be as tight as a few inches. With a larger sized object, like anon's body, our lamia should have no problem exerting a firm grip. As with an arachne, anon should probably have a safe word. Something I didn't think of before, real snakes are able to do a twisting motion with at least the forward part of their bodies, so we may also want to copy that. The 18" body size I mentioned before was at the "hip" area before the tapering of the snake body. I should have made that clear. >https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32271916/ (source analysis) >https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36296136/ (proposed robotic design based on analysis) Thanks, I'll take a look at these when I have a chance. >===

>>25838 >find out how many legs of a spider are off the ground at one time as it is moving At most four. There are always at least 4 on the ground at any time in the walking cycle. So each of our spider-girl's legs must be able to support 1/4 of her total weight, plus whatever extra we decide on for contingencies. That could be 1/3 of the total weight (maybe a little more?), in case one leg is disabled, so she could still safely walk to her service area (if the code isn't smart enough to adapt to a broken leg). Or if you are feeling particularly ambitious you might want her strong enough to carry her own weight plus anon's weight (plus excess safety margin) for when she needs to carry anon somewhere after demonstrating her web-spinning. In that case only four legs might be walking so 3 on the ground at all times, a quadruped. Here's a site with a good description of how spider legs work: Leg Uses Hydraulics and Muscle Flex https://asknature.org/strategy/leg-uses-hydraulics-and-muscle-flex/ Here's a paper on soft robotic spider legs cited on the website^. Soft, so nobody is using cables and sprockets: Biomimetic Spider Leg Joints: A Review from Biomechanical Research to Compliant Robotic Actuators (downloadable pdf) https://www.mdpi.com/2218-6581/5/3/15#
>>26056 >in case one leg is disabled, so she could still safely walk to her service area (if the code isn't smart enough to adapt to a broken leg). Not sure how difficult it would be with servos w/o some dissassembly but with electrical motors regardless of type you can closely aproximate their % load by how much current they draw relative to max allowed which should not be difficult to track via analog inputs. Some simple algorithm would then calculate how many legs may be in air at any time and how far can legs neighbouring strained limb move to offset its load.

/waifu energy source general/ What do you think that our waifus will use for energy?And how much energy it needs to use?From my rough calculations if will need about 2kw for the computer plus 500w for the mechanical part(although I am not sure about the last part because I am not very familiar with the mechatronics ). Surely we don't want to use something like an engine because of the noise ,vibrations and the exhaust.The current state of the battery is not suitable for our goals because of the low energy density (energy per square meter).I think that PEM battery will be a good choice because of the lack mechanical parts , huge energy density , the energy is in the form of electricity.The only downside , for now , is the fact that the PEM layer is VERY expensive ,at least for now . What do you think?What kind of energy source our waifus will use? >=== original Batteries & Power thread >>23

>>28724 btw the Mazda ones eat their own triangles at 10k-11k rpm... I doubt if the 787Bs touched 12k to still get through the 24 hours. I'm sure smaller sorts have lower rotating mass and things, but the point is that having turbines /= RPMs necessarily. Also, nobody is going to want to share an enclosed space with a smog rotor. You're really talking about an outdoors-only device by that point. Maybe try hydrogen or something idk If you're interested in outdoors miniature engines and things there's a man who's made a prototype sterling engine out of a Chrysler air conditioning compressor, his channel is called kirkolator1. I'm not sure if he ever reached viability with his project or not, but the point was that any unrefined "fuel oil" could work just the same as the propane he was utilising.
>>28734 >Also, nobody is going to want to share an enclosed space with a smog rotor. You're really talking about an outdoors-only device by that point. I wrote that I meant it for outside. That said, if the noise was dampened by the body and the exhaust captured or filtered, then letting it run for a few minutes might be okay in some edge cases, e.g. lifting something heavy or climbing stairs. >Maybe try hydrogen or something idk Even if, then this conventional fuel engine is worth mentioning. I don't try anything about this anytime soon, I just wanted to have it in mind as an option. Hydrogen is hard to store and not very energy dense, btw. Ethanol would be quite interesting. At the end of the day, whatever works for the specific use case is the right choice. This is meant as an option, and needs to be as small and light as possible, durable and with easy access to fuel. > interested in outdoors miniature engines and things there's a man who's made a prototype sterling engine This could be generally interesting, but I didn't even look if there was a Sterling engine for this use case, because I think they tend to be bigger. If anything then it would need to be very small and maybe could be used with steam. A waifu could gather sunlight with heatpipes under the skin and create steam and then use that to run the engine. Once again, this would only be for outside. More like this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YKrdfjO9SBg - so if it is not needed then the additional wheight won't matter, also the smaller it is the better we can dampen the noise.

Black Magic M66 3D Modelling Project & Battledroid Robowaifus SophieDev 07/27/2021 (Tue) 14:03:16 No.11776 [Reply] [Last]
Decided it may be best to place my 3D digital modelling efforts in a separate thread to my work on 'Elfdroid Sophie'. I think this thread will still belong under "Personal Projects". At the moment the 3D modelling begins over on her thread: >>11644 >>11657 I'm using some source material from Masamune Shirow's 1987 OVA "Black Magic - M66" (which itself was based off his 1983 manga). However, as a child of the late eighties/early nineties, I loved 'Transformers', and I was also a big fan of the 'Heavy Gear' series (similar to MechWarrior), and Armored Core. So I often get the urge to create battle-ready robowaifus, but I can only create them virtually. Because obviously I cannot get hold of machine-guns, explosives, tank cannons, and rocket launchers IRL. Good thing, too, since if I were given access to live ammunition I would almost certainly blow myself into a flying streamer of giblets. But I digress. This thread may also be a good place for any equally deranged anons who wish to post images of military-grade robowaifus, either found online or their own creations? --- >lock cf. (>>30234)

Been looking into GPTs just lately, and found this one called 'Genie' that can create 3D models just from a simple text prompt. I think they have improved quite a bit since I last tried out an older one called 'Leonardo A.I.'. My prompts were just: Shiny, metal robot girl. Cyberpunk anime robot girl. Supergirl (came out very well because she is such a prolific comic book character). Finally, I really took a shot in the dark and gave it something very obscure: Sanakan from BLAME! 2017 animated sci-fi film. But even with this, I can see that the A.I. had source data from dark cyberpunk anime, if not the actual 'BLAME!' anime and manga themselves. One model bears a resemblance to the Electrofisher suits that the characters in the movie wear...perhaps fused with a little of the Safeguard Exterminators? All of these models are completely A.I. generated - both basemesh and PBR textures!
These were the models generated from the (relatively) obscure anime/manga prompt that actually impressed me the most, despite only being low-res attempts.

Those simple bare necessities Robowaifu Technician 09/01/2020 (Tue) 06:14:32 No.4908 [Reply]
Here we have Maslow's hiearchy of needs. A psychological theory that basically breaks down what a man needs and what he can seek out in life. This seems like a good framework to identify what niche your robowaifu can address in her function, and how exactly to accomplish that. I think the third tier up is what most of us seek from a robowaifu. No matter how inert your robowaifu is in function, even motionless plastic can give you a sense of connection if you project a personality onto it. What do you think? Does Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a theory relate to you and your projects? Is there anything to this at all?
5 posts omitted.
>>4921 I thought the discussion was just about which part of the hierarchy robo-waifus fulfill. But yeah, the structure must be done from bottom, so unless you have the lowest two sections, robo-waifus won't be of much use.
>>4924 The idea is that you could potentially build a robowaifu to fulfill any part of that hierarchy. Like for the physiological needs, a robowaifu that can help you keep track of your day-to-day health.
>>27853 I suspect that the culprit is either lobbying groups, or the people behind the chart genuinely felt the need to clarify. One thing to keep in mind is that not all sex leads to reproduction, and not all reproduction comes from sex (at least, not anymore). Whoever made the decision to change the exact word used clearly cares about that distinction. As for how robowaifus relate to the chart, I'd posit that they can provide substance to all five levels: (1) They provide sex if you follow the old wording. If you follow the new wording, one could stretch that the creation of a new form of existence in your image is a sort of reproduction. Alternately, the issue of reproduction will likely be solved within the decade. (2) They can provide (mental) health, and aid in the retention of property, resources (by helping you keep track of these things) and personal security (you can set her up to be your own personal surveillance network). (3) They can provide intimacy (both physcal and psychological) (4) They can help your self-esteem, and provide a sense of freedom. (5) They can help you become the most that you can be.
>>27867 >cannibalistic lesbians I won't ask, and I'd very much like it if you don't tell. >We already have a story about a world of men who forsook their women for gynoids Is it one I wrote, or are you referring to something older? >other versions of the chart That makes sense. Too many people have varying ideologies for there not to be several semantically different iterations of the same idea. Nonetheless, I think my point still stands regardless of what sits where in the chart.
Try no fap for a year i think thats what it means to be at the bottom of the hierarchy of needs lol

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.

>>27325 >This field and robowaifu development essentially go hand-in-hand The more I think about it, the more I agree with you Anon! >>27321 >Do we even have a good thread here for posting this kind of stuff yet? Amazing, but we don't. I've looked over the catalog just now, and here's a first-pass list of threads that seem applicable: * Prototypes & failures * Actuators * Self-driving cars * Skellingtons & armatures * Electronics * SBCs & microcontrollers * Cutting-edge tech * Robotics hardware * Robowaifu power & control

>>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.

>>27385 >At the moment I am just learning C and trying to make programs that solve basic maths questions. Outstanding, SophieDev! Having a practical, smol goal is literally the best way to learn to program in my experience. BTW, you may be aware that we already have C language (>>367), and C++ language (>>19777) threads. Why not post your work in either of these threads and everyone can talk about them with you? We have at least 3 C developers here on /robowaifu/, maybe we can give you some nice ideas? Regardless, I too am extremely interested in aerospace as an industry, and the vehicles themselves as a fanboy/engineer. Some of the greatest, most elegant designs ever done by mankind are in these fields, IMO. Cheers. :^)
>>27315 According to Christian teachings, Jesus was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death primarily because some religious authorities viewed his teachings and growing influence as a threat to their authority.
>>27385 Plenty of videos on YT how to make them yourself. I doubt that it is legal, though. These are often Americans.

Actuators For Waifu Movement Part 2 Waifu Boogaloo Kiwi 09/02/2021 (Thu) 05:30:48 No.12810 [Reply] [Last]
(Original thread >>406) Kiwi back from the dead with a thread for the discussion of actuators that move your waifu! Part Two! Let's start with a quick refresher! 1. DC motors, these use a rotating magnetic field created through commutation to rotate a rotor! They're one of the cheapest options and are 30 to 70 percent efficient usually. The bigger they are, the more efficient they tend to be. 2. Brushless motors, these use a controller to induce a rotating magnetic field by turning electromagnets on and off in a sequence. They trend 60 to 95 percent efficiency 3. AC motors, Though there are many different type, they function similarly to brushless motors, they simply rely on the AC electricity to turn their electromagnets on and off to generate their field. Anywhere from 15 to 95 percent efficiency. 4. Stepper motors, brushless motors with ferrous teeth to focus magnetic flux. This allows for incredible control at the cost of greater mass and lower torque at higher speeds. Usually 50 to 80 percent efficient but, this depends on control algorithm/speed/and quality of the stepper. 5. Coiled Nylon Actuators! These things have an efficiency rating so low it's best to just say they aren't efficient. What they are though is dirt cheap and easy as heck to make! Don't even think about them, I did and it was awful. 6. Hydraulics! These rely on the distribution of pressure in a working liquid to move things like pistons. Though popular in large scale industry, their ability to be used in waifu's has yet to be proven. (Boston Dynamics Atlas runs on hydraulics but, it's a power guzzler and heavy) 7. Pneumatics, hydraulics lighter sister! This time the fluid is air! This has the advantage in weight. They aren't capable of the same power loads hydraulics are but, who wants their waifu to bench press a car? 8. Wax motors, hydraulic systems where the working fluid is expanding melted parafin wax! Cheap, low power, efficient, and produce incredible torque! Too bad they're slow and hard to control. 9. Explosion! Yes, you can move things through explosions! Gas engines work through explosions! Artificial muscles can be made by exploding a hydrogen and oxygen mixture in a piston, then using hydrolysis to turn the water back into hydrogen and oxygen. None of this is efficient or practical but, it's vital we keep our minds open. Though there are more actuators, most are derivatives or use these examples to work. Things like pulleys need an actuator to move them. Now, let's share, learn, and get our waifu moving! >--- < add'l, related links from Anon:

Differential Swerve Drive for rolling platforms, it uses both motors for driving forward so it is more efficient: https://youtu.be/8RQmpUEgoYU Might be useful for a Gardevoir suit, waifu car or a waifu with wheels. Swerve drive means it can drive sideways, which is more similar to a bipedal creature that can move out of the way easily.
>>26857 >Might be useful for a Gardevoir suit, waifu car or a waifu with wheels. Very cool! I'm actually in the middle of a smol robotic cart->Tachikoma design for Sumomo-chan. This is very timely for me Anon, thanks! :^)
>>26118 >Cheap motor update: I cannot figure out how to use the CAN bus with the arduino can hat v2 and a program to move the motor with a joystick. I'm feeling extremely lazy so I think I need to cut all unnecessary idle tasks and try again.
OP, seems it's time for a new thread please These are some good ones, Anon. Thanks! :^)
