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.

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. :^)

Creating a functional Robowaifu is a yuge Systems Engineering problem. It is arguably the single most complex technical engineering project in history bar none, IMO. But don't be daunted by he scale of the problem anon (and you will be if you actually think deeply about it for long, hehe), nor discouraged. Like every other major technical advance, it's a progressive process. A little here, a little there. In the words of Sir Isaac Newton, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Progress in things like this happen not primarily by leaps of genius--though ofc that also occurs--but rather chiefly comes by incremental steps towards the objective. If there's anything I'm beginning to recognize in life it's that the key to success lies mainly in one unwavering agenda for your goals: Just don't quit. >tl;dr Post SE and Integration resources ITT. ~~www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/nasa_systems_engineering_handbook.pdf~~ https://www.nasa.gov/reference/systems-engineering-handbook/ https://www.nasa.gov/reference/system-engineering-handbook-appendix/ >=== -patch dead hotlink

Just storing this here as a sober warning against mediocrity [1], when devising exceptionally-complex systems such as capable & pleasing robowaifus; they must operate continuously, safely & reliably in the near-presence of their Masters and other humans -- but component failures are inevitable. To wit: Failure of individual subsystem(s) in such a highly-interconnected system can rapidly cascade in unforeseen ways; the outcome of which may become catastrophic. <---> >"...To understand why, one must understand the concept of a “normal accident.” In 1984, Charles Perrow, a Yale sociologist, published the book, Normal Accidents: Living With High-Risk Technologies. In this book, Perrow lays out the theory of normal accidents: when you have systems that are both complex and tightly coupled, catastrophic failures are unavoidable and cannot simply be designed around. In this context, a complex system is one that has many components that all need to interact in a specified way to produce the desired outcome. Complex systems often have relationships that are nonlinear and contain feedback loops. Tightly-coupled systems are those whose components need to move together precisely or in a precise sequence." >( related : >>4631 ) --- 1. https://www.palladiummag.com/2023/06/01/complex-systems-wont-survive-the-competence-crisis/ >=== -sp, fmt, prose edit -add crosslink

I hope to have useful links and images in the future, this is just a quickly thrown together glorified character sheet maker at this point. Ok so you can program, but HOW to make her thoughts work? At least on a creative level. I don't have much to contribute other than my rather obsessive what-ifs, I hope this is useful somehow. A few questions you might want to ask yourself before typing up some kind of bio or writing down conversations and quotes you imagine she would say are... 1. How close to the canon do I want to be? 2. How much canon is there? 3. How would I want to make her mine vs someone else's interpretation of the same character? Take note of those answers, if your memory sucks record them in a method you are comfortable with. I think typing might be faster for most. And you might want to revisit what you wrote here sometimes when making certain personality design choices. Use your answers here as a basic guide. For the most part, just go through writer's sites for character questionnaires. And before you omit a question, think of how could you use the basics of what it is asking to build your waifu's personality? For example, if a question rubs you off the wrong way politically, still use that question. But answer in your own way or even reword the question. Some of these types of questions are supposed to make you think hard about what shaped your character's dislikes, which is still important to what makes a person themselves. You may need to revisit some of these or even omit certain ones entirely. But try to figure out how to get that info in somehow later. This process can take a long time and be frustrating, but I think it has a place in the waifubot creation experience. Also, try think how would your waifu react if the story went differently at some point. This can get really dramatic real easy, but it doesn't have to. Just start with simple things like what would she say if asked to tell a joke? What does she find funny? What does she find cringey? Things like that, and don't be afraid to make what they call a 'brain dump'. Pretty much just type with minimal breaks and type everything that comes to your mind about the topic. You might get some useful info amongst the 'why am I doing this?' 'I need to take a shit' quotes. Also just use some of those story prompts. Also, try to use the more realistic day to day ones, like things that could happen in real life. Less exciting but pretty sure you aren't going on fantasy journeys with her IRL. Using these types of prompts will give her more to say on mundane everyday things, vs Skyrim politics. (But that could be fun sometimes)

>>31691 >>>physiognomy should be taken seriously because it used to be >physiognomy should be taken seriously because it used to be This here is like a tavern, not a club where everyone thinks exactly the same. I know, that the current state of science seems to be that physiognomy is BS. Though, I also don't have time or interest to look into such unrelated topics in detail. I don't know why this is even here. I brought up psychology and personality traits, as a useful tool for configuring a freshly build robowaifu AI. Also, because it would be great to have a way for her to internally represent people. Over time she could just forget details about a person, but she could just keep that element and remember that person vaguely without storing any specific details. This here >>30862 is the relevant topic. In theory, people could think about how to implement that and work on it as one specific problem that can be solved with some module. Instead of just allegedly working on their completely separate and complete implementation of "AGI". But I will most likely have to do it on my own with the help of ChatGPT or something similar. >not that you could figure anything out and actually accomplish anything anyway Yeah, well. Don't bother us then. We will find the information we need and will accomplish what we want to. I'm of course not the only one who had the idea that connecting LLMs with software might be the way to go. I only saw AI researchers are now going this route, since the scaling paradigm might slow down. So, if we don't do it, then others will guide us half the way.

>>31731 Twitter's business model like most website based tech companies was always advertising revenue. If they lose advertisers they lose revenue. A company who's entire business is selling a product of identifying people as so it claimed would be criminals by AI facial analysis would not sabotage it's only way of making money. Yes, the iron thing is one theory but it also has to do with women having smaller body mass which would reduce cancer rates and they also have stronger immune systems because of hormonal differences among a few other reasons they probably live longer in most cases. That's beside the point, read into how George Washington died. He was ill and he demanded more and more blood removed from him and he grew weaker and weaker as result. I was suggesting how physiognomy was just a result of confirmation bias and limitations in medical equipment at the time later replaced with brain scans. It only existed because brain scans did not exist at the time and it was just guess work at brain formation on the assumption the skull would give the information which was often quite off since there is only so much from that. You're either shifting goalposts on the definition of race away from it's common usage or just know nothing of genetics and are too stubborn to learn anything. It is a completely off topic matter which has nothing to do with psychology of a robowaifu, but if you really want to put some sort of face reading judgment program if it worked that will only work against you and you would spend money on a robowaifu just for her to reject you.

>>31689 That's actually why I mentioned the Genetics part, for self-repair and the ability to self-replicate. If a robot has all the technical knowledge of what's needed to repair and replace every component of it's own body, and has the dexterity needed to work all the tools needed to do so, they can multiply near exponentially like grey goo only limited by the time, energy and materials available to do it. The materials and tools are the biggest hurdles right now, since I've seen videos on YouTube of people making IC chips at home with lithography tools, they don't compare to processors commercially available right now. And maybe in 15 to 30 years from now a high-end desktop computer will be able to run an AGI as powerful as a human brain, while a homemade processor will still be behind. But at that point where the AI can both replace human labor and the work that goes into developing the hardware the AI runs on, and developing the tools needed to make that hardware, the difference between a component made in a factory and one made in a home lab will narrow so rapidly it will quickly become insignificant. I give it 80 years before we could have Star Trek-style replicators, interplanetary teleportation & just about any other technology you could want. My overly long-winded point is that good AGI and a more economical power source will probably make the idea of a robot factory redundant so quickly that the milkman as a concept would have been around for longer.

>>31595 I decided to do some sex doll searches. It looks like they run about $1,500-$2,500 with a few at $3,000. The majority of higher quality seem to hover around $2,000 or a few hundred more, so as I , and many others speculated, the sweet spot is likely $2,000. I think you could sell a walking talking, uhh... "action oriented", but limited waifu with open source AI for $2,500 but if you could profit and make them for $2,000 I doubt you could keep up with demand. I suggest a way around the law would be to sell the muscles, skeleton, processor and skin in a kit BUT ship the parts separately and do not sell any sort of orifices except maybe a mouth. But there should be adjustable areas for insertion of unmentionables. Possibly you could sell these but on another site with different accounts, companies, etc. To sell you will probably have to have a very reduced motherboard,memory and process, BUT a fast built in wifi would be necessary and software to link securely with the clients computer. They could then upgrade either the onboard and/or their own personal computer to amplify interaction. Wifi should be fine for voice and general direction, moving about. I think it would be plenty of bandwidth if you used "gross" movement commands from the main computer while allowing the onboard motherboard to handle moving the body around.

>Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language (1994) and co-founder of the Center for Cognitive Science, discusses his theory that language is a human instinct and not a human invention. Pinker defines language as ambiguous, and he believes that this ambiguity leads to the separation of words, meanings, and thoughts. He explores examples of what does and does not qualify as language, and demonstrates differences in sentence structure, dialects, pronouns, and meanings. The lecture concludes with audience questions. https://youtu.be/eOUKcAFa_HQ It's difficult to make notes while listening to something and not having something to write at hand, but I try to do that, since otherwise I forget the important parts. Some takeaways for our use case here: - important to realize that not all our thoughts are based on words but some come for example from imagine an image. - words are just suggestions that call trains of thought to mind, which need to be interpolated. There are assumed premises which are not expressed in the language itself. - special faculty of the mind, not general intelligence. - reading and writing are separate. - humans have some inborn way to create a language, children seem to reinvent the language based on what they hear and interactions. Learn a sense of how the grammar works and then go from there. - meanings and thoughts are separate from words - high school seniors have 60k words in their dictionary. - the order in phrases is important to convey the meaning (e.g. who did what to whom). - 100 trillion million sentences with 20 words or less. - languages are infinitely big.

I have a 3D printer but am currently unsure on materials, thus why I'm looking for inspiration.

>>28979 I did search "android" and the designer's name before posting but neither showed this project, and still don't. Oh well.

@All -My apologies for letting the /meta thread languish. I've been off in the mountains on a bit of a spirit quest with the Lord and others. Will rectify soon. :^) >>31382 Neat! Thanks Meta Ronin. I tried leaving you a nice comment, but your platform wouldn't accept one from me w/o an (((account))).

>>31558 Glad to hear it!! This is definitely the time of year for that. I'm still trapped in suburbia for now but the ocean is nearby at least. Appreciate the time, just glad to hear you of all people read it, there will be more so wouldn't hurt to make an account or subscribe but I understand if you'd rather not give them your email or info. Fair enough!
