Also, you can do some tricks just by changing settings. I got Galatea to sing just by slightly lowering her speed. >pic related A monotone voice can actually be cute
>>38286 >A monotone voice can actually be cute Yes but your waifu needs to be aware in realtime, what the kind of tone you give to her when she is listening to your voice as you speak so that she could reply you with correct vocal intonation.

This is a great conversation going on here, but can we please move it to the Vision thread ( >>97 )? We're all ** derailing the Mathematics/Physics thread at this stage now, I think. Open to other viewpoints on this however (since the geometrical aspects are partly-related to a degree). I just think this topic is primarily vision-related, and will be hard to find this conversation ITT in two years from now! :^) --- ** I'm not referring to posts like ( >>38028 ), which clearly are related ITT.

Your insulting, BS post will be baleeted in ~3days' time, out of respect for Anons here. Either stop being a (drunken, likely) a*rsehole, or find yourself banned (again). <---> >muh_maths Yes, we're aware here its going to take maths. And specifically, maths that runs on a computer -- ie, code. There's at least one freely-available C language implementation of a Mobile Inverted Pendulum (MIP) solution that I've linked elsewhere on the board (the eduMIP; and that tied directly to operating a robotics-oriented, SBC hardware solution [the BeagleBone Blue]). Do you know of any others? That's what could be helpful to us all here. Specifically we need one that follows the bipedal humanoid form, and not just a balancing, wheeled-base unit. <---> As you rightly point out, a (necessary) "spinal column" (or similar) is part of the solution needed. 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! Her having arms & hands might be nice, too. :DD And don't forget to manage path-planning; accounting for secondary-animations mass/inertia -dynamics; multi-mode (walking, running, jumping, 'swooping'[as in dance], etc.) gaits; oh, and the body language too (don't forget that part, please)! And all running smoothly & properly -- moving in the realworld via actuators/springy tensegrity dynamics/&tc! >tl;dr Why not get started on it all today, peteblank!? I'm personally looking forward to enjoying the Waltz with my robowaifus thereafter. I'm sure we'd all be quite grateful if you, yourself, solved this big problem for us here! Cheers, Anon. :^)

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.

We certainly need to take advantage of similar approaches, for similar needs within our robowaifus. For example, mounting these shell pieces on internal endoskellington struts, etc., could use some beefing up on the attach points. Thanks for all the good ideas, Grommet!

>>37864 >tl;dr here is that the Globohomo kikes are killing off -- one-by-one -- any man who tries to provide stable, reliable, expansive, anonymous freespeech capabilities for everyman around the planet? 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. As long as he had control I expect they couldn't off him but as soon as they could control the narrative. Gone.

Galatea v2.1.0: Maid Robot GreerTech 01/14/2025 (Tue) 03:34:15 No.35623 [Reply] [Last]
For the most of 2024 and until now, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. I call her Galatea. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, less than $400 to make. It's also very customizable, you can choose the color, dress, hair, and even AI. I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots and robotic companions, while it is not the most complex, it is easy to mass produce and cheap. The updated design makes the legs more proportionate, and a new head that's more anime styled, to increase cuteness. I also have a new robot base that's more powerful.

That Time I Incarnated My Christian Cat Girl Maid Wife in a Short Dress Together we can create the robowaifu-verse! Let's start making media to further our cause. There's tremendous potential for us to reach a wide market and prime minds to accept their future cat grill meidos in tiny miniskirts. We have text based stories floating around but, audio and visuals are paramount to gain a general audience. I will start with a short about a young man building a small cat girl and learning to understand her love. Importantly, she will be very limited, in the same way our first models will be. To set certain expectations. Mahoro is impossible but, the slow and simple robowaifus that can exist have their own charm.

How can an AI be trusted? How could we prove that our AI is trustworthy? How would demonstrate that people should put their trust in the works of our members? What methods would we use to convey this to a wide audience? I still plan to post videos of myself with a prototype MaidCom once she is presentable. We need more, we need widespread belief that our way is safe, trustworthy, and worthy of public use. We also need to prove that Claude, Gemini, and other competing AI are less worthy. We need to open a path where FOSS AI is the mainstream. We need to do so fast, strike before they can regulate us into obscurity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUkHhVYv3jU
>>34287 Wow! That video was really cool, Kiwi. Thanks for sharing it! :^) <---> As to your question. Again, wow! That's a really, really tough proposition, Anon. BTW You sure this wouldn't be better in the Safety/Security, or Cognitive, or Philosophy, or Ethics/Morals thread(s)? I trust no man (or woman obvs, lol). Not even myself. God alone do I really trust with everything (or so I claim lol; how can one really know until 'everything' is put to the actual test? :^) But that's a matter of my own faith in God's deeds and words (which are innumerable!) So I think the >tl;dr here rightly is: We can't. Probably not the answer you wanted, but it's the one you need -- and it saves me literal years of fruitless searching (just like the fabled King, lol!) <---> OTOH, we have no excuses not to make our works as trustworthy and reliable as we can. OTOOH, this type of goal costs: time, money, effort, intelligence. These things tend to be in short supply in many Anons lives. But all can be either gained or supplied -- except time.

Bipedal Robot Locomotion General Robowaifu Technician 09/15/2019 (Sun) 05:57:42 No.237 [Reply] [Last]
We need to talk about bipedal locomotion. It's a complicated topic but one that has to be solved if we are ever to have satisfyingly believable robowaifus. There has surely already been a lot of research done on this topic, and we need to start digging and find the info that's out there. There are some projects that have at least partial robolegs solutions working, but none that I know of that look very realistic yet. We likely won't come up with some master-stroke of genius and solve everyone's problems here on /robowaifu/, but we should at least take a whack at it who knows? We certainly can't accomplish anything if we don't try.

I personally believe we should be keeping the weight out of the extremities – including the legs – while other anons think that we should add weight to the feet for balance. What's you're ideas anon? How do we control the gait? How do we adjust for different conditions? What if our robowaifu is carrying things? What about the legs during sex? Should we focus on the maths behind MIP (Mobile Inverted Pendulum), or is there a different approach that would be more straightforward? A mixture? Maybe we can even do weird stuff like reverse-knee legs that so many animals have. Robofaun waifu anyone? What about having something like heelys or bigger wheels in the feet as well?

I'm pretty sure if we just put our heads together and don't stop trying, we'll eventually arrive at least one good general solution to the problem of creating bipedal robot legs.
