/robowaifu/ - DIY Robot Wives

Advancing robotics to a point where anime catgrill meidos in tiny miniskirts are a reality.

Downtime was caused by the hosting service's network going down. Should be OK now.

An issue with the Webring addon was causing Lynxchan to intermittently crash. The issue has been fixed.

>>25401 > furryfags The board has been open minded towards ponybros and /monster/ for years. I even posted on mpol to recruit some of them, though I guess I was rather thinking they would use their own board for these projects, only come here for technical topics. But then again, that was based on the assumption there would be more going on in regards to development. I think, I also tried to recruit furries at some point, or wrote something about that. Obviously the idea was about female creatures, noting gay. I got a bit pushback here, since back then I didn't know that furries are regarded as something so different from /mlp/ and /monster/. /mlp/ also helped us with showing how to clone voices, and this was some inspiration for us. The claim that this would be "gay" is so silly, I didn't even want to respond to that. It has been tolerated here since these creatures fall under the umbrella of femininity. There seem to be some furries doing live action role-play things, and they seem to be mostly gay, so yeah this is odd to me. Also, they seem to be rather leftists. Not sure if all furries are like that. Anyways, the board should keep the constraint that we build feminine companions here, anyone else needs to organize somewhere else. Ponybros and /monster/ have always been welcome here, and thats fine, though if the would grow a lot and getting very active with several anons, then at some point it would maybe be worth to have a sibling board for their active development.
>>25432 >then at some point it would maybe be worth to have a sibling board for their active development. I think that would be a good idea at that point in time, should that arise NoidoDev.

I'm trying not to weigh in much since I'm responsible for this, and trying to explain things always ends poorly. >>25434 If a formal schism is necessary, I'll volunteer my own board to bear it. The regulars have long left and the topic matter itself is obsolete, so I'm the mayor of a ghost town. I'd just need to rebrand the board and try to recruit a mod or two. Alternatively, my offer to cast it all to the memory hole and return to the status quo remains open, and will continue to remain open indefinitely.

>>25442 Please make your board a mecha monster girl board. I want to gush about monster girls and non-standard methods of locomotion.

My only request is that you don't post pones that are too comfortable -looking, if you catch my drift heh. Please remember we're a SFW board. Cheers. :^)

>>25443 >That doll on a drone is so cute! IKR. Now I want one for Sumomo-chan when she wakes up, so she can get practice ahead of time dragging Kotoko all around the skys with Chii's pantsu in tow. :^) I've been wondering how to deal with Sumomo's 'arabian nights' costume. Now I think I just want to dress her in overalls and oversized tennys just like that drone grill doll was wearing. A cute!
So, are we doing the schism 'tism? If so, sooner or later on? I'll take responsibility, but it still feels like things are moving pretty quickly. >>25443 If you're serious about getting involved, I can do it and I'm happy to incorporate that. Just as a heads up, my moderation style is the embodiment of "rule by seniority", so oldfags (i.e. you) get priority in every dispute, and I try to keep the peace between oldfags in a dispute. Newfags get a thousand year ban if they stir shit up too much. If we end up doing this sooner rather than later, I just ask that you give me some time. I've had a bunch of shit pile up IRL, so I can't give my full attention to this at the moment. >>25444 I was referring specifically to my postings here. The project will continue regardless. And yes, I've known about the no-NSFW rule for a very long time. Even when I'm burning off the overpressure on my autism tank, I'm not going to post porn here. I will want to talk about how the fun bits work into the equation, since they're a part of the frame that needs to be accounted for, but I don't need images for that. Though this is a bit of a shift, there is something else I need to ask: I want to start a discussion on dry lubricants for joints (not right now, but a bit later once I've done more research). What thread should I place that in?
>>25446 >New board Please start when you can. I would like to be a mod there. It could be healthy to have a sister board to handle more esoteric designs. To clarify, I will always be active here first and foremost, I just recognize that this board is healthier when focusing exclusively on mostly humanoid robotics. Having two boards with specializations that help reach other could help foster greater focus. >Dry lubricant Keep it simple, apply some graphite powder to the joints. Unless she needs to function in a vacuum or you're paranoid about galvanic corrosion, graphite is the default for very good reason. I've used it personally and can safely say it works perfectly for years (practically forever) if applied correctly. A fun trick is that once you have it set up, stream can help in getting everything just right.
>>25446 >I was referring specifically to my postings here. Me too. Please continue. I endeavor to be long-suffering, but I also tend to be rather blunt muh autism, I suppose. If I felt you were harming the board I would've already said so. You're a friend to our board here, and it's the proper place for your robowaifu project. >I will want to talk about how the fun bits work into the equation, since they're a part of the frame that needs to be accounted for, but I don't need images for that. Sure ofc. The NSFW rule is simply keep the board from degenerating into a pr0n board. Legitimate technical discussions of any subsystem whatsoever of a robowaifu completely on-topic here ofc. >What thread should I place that in? The skellingtons, actuators, or materials threads maybe? Dunno, I defer to our engineers on this so whatever they say is fine. NoidoDev is our resident taxonomist.
>>25443 >That doll on a drone is so cute! Oh wow, I liked it as well, but missed that it was a video. Wow. I thought this was a fake picture at first, as a little joke. Again, wow. >>25446 >but it still feels like things are moving pretty quickly. Not at all. Anyways, if you do this at some point, I hope it will be compatible with Bump for backups (Lynxchan based?). >I want to start a discussion on dry lubricants for joints (not right now, but a bit later once I've done more research). What thread should I place that in? I agree with Chobitsu. This should go into >>12810 imo, if it's motorized joints. Otherwise skelletons >>200 since it's more related to that.
On one hand, I'm lukewarm on the idea of spacing things out. On the other, this could breathe some life back into /f/. >>25447 >new board No no, this is a preexisting board. As I said before ( >>25442 ) it's fucking dead, and has been for a while. I'd just need to work out how to renovate things, nuke the old threads, and we're good to go. I run /f/ on the cafe (have been for a long time now, since the fullchan days). We can discuss changes on the meta thread there. https://anon.cafe/f/ I suggest you take a look at the global rules for the cafe as well, since they follow Romanian law. There's nothing outrageous, but it's good to know. >I want to be mod Consider yourself hired. Just make an account on the cafe and let me know, I'll add you on when I can get to it. >graphite powder Thanks, I'll look into it. >>25448 If we do go for a soft division (and it looks like there is demand for it. It might also get the other bronies to start posting), my posts here will slow down a little bit anyways since I'll be overseeing things on my board. We'll need to talk about which topics should be ported to /f/ and which should stay here. Of course, I intend to cause as little division and disruption as possible, but it may be more efficient to localize a few topics (robo skeletons and armatures, for instance). >>25452 >I hope it will be compatible with Bump for backups (Lynxchan based?) Yeah, we run on Lynxchan. I'm not all that familiar with Bump though, so I'll need a bit of help with working that out.
>>25452 >I hope it will be compatible with Bump for backups (Lynxchan based?). I already use BUMP to archive /f/ , and several other Anoncafe boards, so yeah. >>25453 >nuke the old threads PLEASE DON'T NUKE THREAD #4! :DD It's a heritage for the Internets. >I suggest you take a look at the global rules for the cafe as well, since they follow Romanian law. In addition to Romanian law, /robowaifu/ , as it stands, would have to be classified as NSFW there on Anoncafe (since I allow NSFW if a) on-topic, and b) spoilered). The Admins are strict about the SFW designation there. Another thing to consider is that while we have the luxury of 250 threads here on AlogsSpace (thanks to Robi's generosity), there on Anoncafe you'll be limited to 70 threads. >If we do go for a soft division (and it looks like there is demand for it. It might also get the other bronies to start posting) >it looks like there is demand for it Not for my part there isn't. And one loudmouthed newfag does not a consensus make. In my response to Kiwi above I was simply trying to look years ahead to when there is much more traffic on our board after realworld robowaifus begin rolling out. But ofc I'll support you in whatever you want to do, Flash... you know I've been a long-time friend of /f/ . Just tell us what you need for your revamp there, if anything. >=== -prose edit

So I know it’s a shot in the dark but have any of you thought about reaching out to clubs/people who are interested in robotics? I’m kinda lonely lately and I’d like some robo buddy with me. Anyone got some experience to share?

Kiwi, it looks like you'll be doing your project here. You can still come to /f/ if you want to vent your autism though, I won't mind any of you coming over for a visit. >>25454 >One loudmouthed newfag does not a consensus make I was talking about Kiwi ( >>25447 ), and that you initially seemed to be on-board ( >>25434 ) with the idea.

If you guys dont want that, then I won't do it. >years ahead Alright then, I'll take that as a no. /f/ will be there if and when you need it, and I'll keep watch over it as I have been.

Can I make a /robowaifu/ precious metals thread to talk about gold, silver, and other rare and important metals? We will need those metals for our /robowaifu/'s circuits. I also want to have autistic discussions about gold and silver and our stacks. You do have stacks of precious metals, right? I guess we can also include crypto currency as well since because they used computing power. and because I want to
>>25495 Well, the offer is appreciated but no thank you. We do have a Materials thread (>>154) if you legitimately want to discuss precious metals in the context of designing and building robowaifus. But if you just want to talk about making money in general, then why not try 4cuck/biz or one of the other hundreds of other biz-oriented sites Anon?
>>25442 >>25454 I obviously don’t have a say on things board-wise (new as I am), but personally, I’d like to help anyone who’s serious about building robots to improve their own/others’ lives. We’re a small enough community as it is, no sense in whittling down our numbers further; and, from a technical aspect, the underlying challenges we’re tackling have a lot in common-- big or small, humanoid or not, physics doesn’t care (and math only pretends to.) Admittedly, there might be a bit of enlightened self-interest there… After all, wheelchair waifus kinda straddle the line between humanoid and monstergirl, especially since I (long-term) plan to sacrifice aesthetics for utility. >>25337 I’ve enjoyed reading about your work on tensegrity/meshtegrity structures— seems like the perfect way to get curvier (in the geometric sense), more humanoid robots without machining a bajillion custom parts. To be honest, my tentative design for my robot’s “Payload” (upper body) is little more than a Skyrim-tier T-shaped “training dummy”, at least while I work through different arm and sensor configurations. Now, that might be fine for me and a few others who failed to ever develop a sense of aesthetics, but I can’t see it fascinating people like the MaSiRo project has. Don’t let me throw a wrench in your timeline or anything, but if the stars align, it could be cool to have an Assistant lower-half/wheelchair-body with a MaidCom upper-half. After all, the Assistant Platform was always intended to drop-n-lock with another robot around the hip/groin level. My final “Payload” will probably be more industrial, and I’m sure your design’s lower-half will be infinitely more appealing than my wheelchair Platform, but if we’re just trying to generate interest and make some new frens… Well, “the sickly beauty” has always been a successful archetype, right? Might not appeal to the (comparatively) mainstream Nandroid crowd like that, but so long as it’s cute, it could inspire the people who understand the hurdles involved in a complete humanoid robot (and want to get involved despite that.) That’s just an idea off the top of my head, though (so no worries if it doesn’t work with our respective plans). My original plan was to throw a screen on it and give it a simple VTuber-style avatar, which could still get some attention for the robowaifu cause.
>>25507 >I obviously don’t have a say on things board-wise (new as I am), but personally, I’d like to help anyone who’s serious about building robots to improve their own/others’ lives. We’re a small enough community as it is, no sense in whittling down our numbers further; That's much-appreciated, Lin. And BTW we're a meritocracy. Achieve good things here, and your opinions will matter more to everyone! :^) I certainly agree we shouldn't be dissipating our numbers, but OTOH I've always personally supported any anon who wants to strike out on a new robowaifu-centric venture. >and, from a technical aspect, the underlying challenges we’re tackling have a lot in common-- big or small, humanoid or not, physics doesn’t care (and math only pretends to.) < (and math only pretends to.) Lel'd. Yes I personally agree, and actually I think much of what you're doing would apply to Greentext anon's pone robowaifu, wheelchair waifus, and Visual waifus as well. >=== -minor edit

Hey chobitsu, If I paid you to write a cash register program in C++, which of the following currencies would you accept? Silver or gold, Crypto of your choice, or heads of cattle?
>>25544 Lol. The cattle would be the most profitable long-term, gold or silver the most portable and useful if the GH has their way with us all, but crypto would win hands-down for anonymity r/n. :^) But that market is already dominated by a company that writes them in Java.
