Lurk Less: Tasks to Tackle Robowaifu Technician 02/13/2023 (Mon) 05:40:18 No.20037 [Reply]
Here we share the ideas of how to help the development of robowaifus. You can look for tasks to improve the board, or ones which would help to move the development forward. You could also come up with a task that needs to be worked on and ask for help, use the pattern on top of OP for that, replace the part in <brackets> with your own text and post it. >Pattern to copy and adjust for adding a task to the thread: Task: <Description, general or very specific and target thread for the results> Tips: <Link additional information and add tips of how to achieve it.> Constraints and preferences: <Things to avoid> Results: Post your results in the prototypes thread if you designed something >>18800, or into an on-topic thread from the catalog if you found something or created a summary or diagram. General Disclaimer: Don't discuss your work on tasks in this thread, make a posting in another thread, or several of them, and then another one here linking to it. We do have a thread for prototypes >>18800, current meta >>18173 and many others in the catalog https://alogs.space/robowaifu/catalog.html - the thread for posting the result might also be the best place to discuss things. >General suggestions where you might be able to help: - Go through threads in the catalog here https://alogs.space/robowaifu/catalog.html and make summaries and diagrams like pointed out starting here >>10428 - Work on parts instead of trying to develop and build a whole robowaifu - Work on processes you find in some thread in the catalog https://alogs.space/robowaifu/catalog.html - Test existing mechanisms shared on this board, prototypes >>18800 - Try to work on sensors in some kind of rubber skin and in parts >>95 >>242 >>419 - Keep track of other sites and similar projects, for example on YouTube, Twitter or Hackaday. - Copy useful pieces of information from threads on other sites and boards talking about "sexbots", "chatbots", AI or something similar.

Why Robowaifu? Most of the world's modern women have failed their men and their societies, feminism is rampant, and men around the world have been looking for a solution. History shows there are cultural and political solutions to this problem, but we believe that technology is the best way forward at present – specifically the technology of robotics. We are technologists, dreamers, hobbyists, geeks and robots looking forward to a day when any man can build the ideal companion he desires in his own home. However, not content to wait for the future; we are bringing that day forward. We are creating an active hobbyist scene of builders, programmers, artists, designers, and writers using the technology of today, not tomorrow. Join us!

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) >===

OpenAI/GPT-2 This has to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in deep learning and AI so far. It's extremely skilled in developing coherent humanlike responses that make sense and I believe it has massive potential, it also never gives the same answer twice. >GPT-2 generates synthetic text samples in response to the model being primed with an arbitrary input. The model is chameleon-like—it adapts to the style and content of the conditioning text. This allows the user to generate realistic and coherent continuations about a topic of their choosing >GPT-2 displays a broad set of capabilities, including the ability to generate conditional synthetic text samples of unprecedented quality, where we prime the model with an input and have it generate a lengthy continuation. In addition, GPT-2 outperforms other language models trained on specific domains (like Wikipedia, news, or books) without needing to use these domain-specific training datasets. Also the current public model shown here only uses 345 million parameters, the "full" AI (which has over 4x as many parameters) is being witheld from the public because of it's "Potential for abuse". That is to say the full model is so proficient in mimicking human communication that it could be abused to create new articles, posts, advertisements, even books; and nobody would be be able to tell that there was a bot behind it all. <AI demo: talktotransformer.com/ <Other Links: github.com/openai/gpt-2 openai.com/blog/better-language-models/ huggingface.co/

>ctrl + F >no hits for "front end", "silly", or "UI" Without even digging into the thread, I was curious if there was any development of other front-end chat interfaces. Silly Tavern pretty much rules the roost in terms of utility last time I checked and there's not really anything else that comes close to it. I was honestly expecting some kind of software to come out on steam or a similar online store. That way, your chat interface isn't going through a web browser. Not that that's a bad thing, but in terms of accessibility, having a cmd prompt running down in your taskbar always felt offputting to me. Ideally, everything would be contained in a program. >code it yourself then if you're so great I'm not up to the task. I envision something you download off Steam, like VRchat. It would be a gateway to image generation, chatbots, and other AI tools. Maybe some integration of AI into VR chat would be the best option. I don't want VR goggles to be mandatory though. I want as few button presses as possible between the user and interacting with AIs. With SillyTavern or kobold, I feel like there are just enough technical hurdles to dissuade more casual users and scare them away from getting into it. With sites like Chub or CAI, there's a lot less in the way in terms of the user interacting with the AI. That ease of use is what I'm gunning for. Please forgive my ideas guy ramblings. >why build for such a casual audience? Exposure mostly. There are a lot of cool applications that AI chat has that aren't being explored because people simply aren't exposed to it. Kind of like how much you don't realize you need a smartphone until you have one and it becomes almost symbiotic.
>>34427 Thanks for the input Anon. I actually have to agree with Jensen Huang that simply talking to robowaifus will, in the end, turn out to be the most common way to 'program' them. Till such time however, it will take technicians like us here & elsewhere to lay the foundational groundwork to enable such a high-level to be effective. >tl;dr Better crack those books, Anon! :^) >B-but >I'm not up to the task!111!!11 Better crack those books, Anon! :^)
>>34453 I don't know if I'd want to reinvent the wheel on this one. I'd be fine porting Stilly Tavern or Kobold over to steam and other online distribution platforms. If I couldn't get the permission to do that, I'd make my offbrand version respectively.

For the last year, 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, around $295 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.

My Advanced Realistic Humanoid Robot Project - Eve Artbyrobot 04/18/2024 (Thu) 17:44:09 No.30954 [Reply] [Last]
So far I have plans to build Adam, Eve, and Abel robots. All of these are Bible characters. This thread will cover the Eve robot. Eve will have no "love holes" because adding those would be sinful and evil. It is a robot, not a biological woman after all and I will view her with all purity of heart and mind instead of using her to fulfill my lusts of my body. Instead I will walk by the Spirit no longer fulfilling the lusts of the flesh as the Bible commands. Eve will be beautiful because making her beautiful is not a sinful thing to do. However, I will dress her modestly as God commands of all women everywhere. This would obviously include robot women because otherwise the robot woman would be a stumbling block to men which could cause them to lust after her which would be a sin. To tempt someone to sin is not loving and is evil and so my robot will not do this. To dress her in a miniskirt, for example, would be sinful and evil and all people who engage in sinfullness knowingly are presently on their way to hell. I don't wish this for anyone. My robot will dress in a way that is a good example to all women and is aimed toward not causing anybody to lust as a goal. My robot will have a human bone structure. It will use either a PVC medical skeleton or fiberglass fabricated hollow bones. My robot will look realistic and move realistic. It will be able to talk, walk, run, do chores, play sports, dance, rock climb, and do gymnastics. It will also be able to build more robots just like itself and manufacture other products and inventions. I realized with just a head and arm, a robot can build the rest of its own body so that is my intention. My robot will use BLDC motors for drones, RC, and scooters that are high speed and low-ish torque but I will downgear those motors with a archimedes pulley system that will be custom made from custom fabricated pulleys that will be bearings based. By downgearing with pulleys, instead of gears, I will cut down the noise the robot makes so it will be as silent as possible for indoor use. By downgearing, I convert the high speed motors into moderate speeds with great torque. BLDC motors with large torque generally are too large in diameter for a human form factor and take up too much volumetric area to be useful which is why I go with the high speed smaller diameter type motors but just heavily downgear them 32:1 and 64:1. My robot will have realistic silicone skin. Thom Floutz -LA based painter, sculptor, make-up artist is my inspiration as it pertains to realistic skin. The skin for my robots has to be at his level to be acceptable. It must be nearly impossible to tell the robot is not human to be acceptable. I will have a wireframe mesh exoskeleton that simulates the volumes and movements of muscle underneath the skin which will give the skin its volumetric form like muscles do. Within these hollow wireframe mesh frameworks will be all the electronics and their cooling systems. All of my motor controllers will be custom made since I need them VERY small to fit into the confined spaces I have to work with. I need LOADS of motors to replace every pertinent muscle of the human body in such a way that the robot can move in all the ways humans move and have near human level of strength and speed.

>>34391 >This needs to be carefully trimmed down still but the idea was a massive success. >I used 401 glue btw. Great job, Anon! Glad to hear you successfully managed this process for such meticulous work. Will you need to repeat this for other pulleys? If so, can you think of some semi-automated way to perform the task to help reduce your load, and also to increase the likelihood of a quality job? Something like some kind of jig (or rig) is what I had in mind. <---> Regardless, glad to hear of the new progress Artbyrobot. Please keep it up! Cheers. :^)
Some more kind of automated way would be nice, however, it really didn’t take that long for this particular stuff at all. Maybe two minutes tops. In any case I wouldn’t start getting into jigs and automation type of stuff until I’ve proven out the entire system with extensive testing and I know for 100% sure I’ll be using this approach. There is still a tiny possibility pulleys fail for some unseen reason and I have to go with metal gears after all and just give up on the idea of a quiet robot. But I’m strongly hoping that will not be the case.
>>34406 >...and I have to go with metal gears after all and just give up on the idea of a quiet robot. But I’m strongly hoping that will not be the case. Yeah, me too Anon. Keep forging ahead, Brother! :^)

SPUD Thread 2: Robowaifu Boogaloo Mechnomancer 11/19/2024 (Tue) 02:27:15 No.34445 [Reply]
This first post is to show the 5 big milestones in the development of SPUD, the Specially Programmed UwU Droid. You can see the old thread here: >>26306 The end goal of SPUD is to provide a fairly high-functioning robot platform at a relatively low cost (free code but a few bucks for 3d print files) that can be used for a variety of purposes such as promotional, educational or companionship. All AI used is hosted on local systems: no bowing to corporations any more than necessary, thank you. Various aspects of the code are/will be modular, meaning that adding a new voice command/expression/animation will be easy as making the file, naming it and placing it in the correct folder (no need to mess around with the base code unless you REALLY want to). While I'm researching more about bipedal walking I'll be making a companion for SPUD to ride on, so it might be a while before I return to the thread.

Robowaifu Propaganda and Recruitment 2 Robowaifu Technician 06/06/2024 (Thu) 02:06:10 No.31438 [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. Incels - Guys that can't get laid. The opportunity for love and companionship should be enough to bring some of these guys over. We need to be careful when recruiting from some of their communities. 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. They have an interest in seeing us succeed. Again we need to be careful here not to attract the wrong kind of people that will bring us the wrong kind of attention. Male STEM students - Generally these guys aren't going to get laid until after they have established themselves. A robowaifu could really help them. This may be a harder sell because many of them have been brainwashed in university, but they have skills that we could really use. Transhumanists/biohackers - Many of the technologies involved in building a robowaifu could be used in transhumanist or biohacking applications such as building an avatar. They may have some interest in helping us out. We will need to be careful which transhumanist communities we go after as many of them are full of feminism, tumblr tier sexualities and genders, and SJW's. Cyberpunks and technophiles - These guys (and they are usually guys) are all around into technology and may just enjoy working on the kinds of projects we need to do. They are often into programming and AI.

Hello Anon, nice work! <---> So, to my thinking this fits pretty squarely into propaganda. We have two (2) threads on this arena already : ( >>19295, >>31438 ). We like to keep topics bundled together as much as feasible. Rather than begin yet another one for this project, I'm inclined to merge it instead into one of the others. But I'm open to hearing your opinion in the matter. <---> As to the material itself, this is a great start. I think some of these cards are a bit too esoteric, but that's just my opinion. I really like that you want to both standardize them in format, and help newcomer Anons find their way here to /robowaifu/. Heartily agree to both! Cheers, Anon. :^)
I won't lie and say that I'm well-attuned to the sensibilities of the average normalnigger, but some of the messages in these are way too muddy. For example, the third pic of the OP references having children in a way which implies that robowaifus can't, which may turn away many men. I think it'd be better to reference the up-and-coming technology of artificial wombs, and emphasize that men will soon have freedom of choice in reproduction. Also, the final pic in ( >>34389 ) will raise a red flag in many parts of the world. It references women having free will in a way that implies robowaifus won't. This is bad because some normies will see this and immediately make connections to slavery. Once a few of them notice, it won't take long for the rest to see it too. We don't need that negative press. **Some normies might make that connection anyways, but it's easier to brush off so long as we aren't the ones saying it.'' >>34403 >esoteric My first impression was that they're too hamfisted, but at a second glance I can see what you mean. These blobs of text don't apply to everyone, and will require the average viewer to put themselves in a situation outside of their own. I've learned as much the hard way: Most people hate doing that, and they'll hate you for trying to make them look outside their own lives and challenge their own views.

>>34411 >My first impression was that they're too hamfisted, but at a second glance I can see what you mean.

We are quite out of the mainstream mindset in most areas as of CY -- and most definitely on the topics concerning devising/owning robotic wives! :D >tl;dr These are mostly aimed squarely at the Internets niche, not normalfags. >>34389 Anon, I'm going to have to agree with Greentext anon regarding the basic premise and positions of this final card. I'd simply ask you to a) rethink the approach of your words for this one, or b) simply drop it from the collection? <---> Also, I'm very-likely to migrate it to ( >>31438 ) soon-ish -- particularly if we don't hear back from you soon regarding this.
