>>30956 Interesting work, thanks NoidoDev. He seems to have already somewhat-taken the 'Chobitsu Opus of Extremely Lightweight Structures' pill (cf. >>28664 , et al). I predict he will have good success if he continues in this vein. As to him being a Leftist -- while it's a horrible state of affairs for the entire world around him -- it's not entirely unexpected (cf. >>30784, etc.) This new 'discovery' on their parts will actually drive the entire push for robowaifus forward at an accelerated pace, ironically enough (for them). :^) >=== -minor edit

>>30956 I think it isnt a good idea to use red coolant for the same reason he got confused. You cant tell if a person is injured. It should be purple or pink or something which is similar enough but still noticeably different. >10k And yet it still just has tennis balls for hands

>>33597 You can get the hand for yourself here for free. Makes a fun desk fidget toy :) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:739806 It is a print-in-place with zero support required for flexible filament.

>>33648 Super cool! Thanks, Anon!

Thanks.

>Clone Torso: The first bimanual Torso created at Clone includes an actuated elbow, cervical spine (neck), and anthropomorphic shoulders with the sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic and glenohumeral joints. The valve matrix fits compactly inside the ribcage. Bimanual manipulation training is in progress. https://youtu.be/5mSE6Tkhy4g > Hannah Dev aka David Browne: A bit of a collection of recent developments on my project. I have worked on a lower torso module. Redesigned the eyes to accommodate a camera internally. Also, put together a range of scripts for working with local LLMs for both vision and language processing. https://youtu.be/YSwHvz2qZjA Mouth: https://youtu.be/2li8Sq9Un38 >>33985 > Punyo (TRI) Thanks, But next time post a description or at least a title. > Adam: The PNDbotics team has been committed to pushing the boundaries of robotics technology in every aspect: from the highly modular actuator hardware to the original design of the robot's physical structure, from cutting-edge motion control algorithms to the construction of humanoid robot platforms. > In June 2023, we designed the overall hardware architecture of Adam, proposing for the first time the use of a highly biomimetic human-like pelvis design. The unique combination of original hardware design and reinforcement learning has endowed Adam with an unprecedented human-like motion control capability. Even in complex motion tasks, Adam can easily achieve agile and elegant movements that rival human performance. > In March 2024, we published the paper “Whole-body Humanoid Robot Locomotion with Human Reference" on arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.18294 . At the same time, we further optimized the design of various parts such as the legs and feet, ensuring Adam's adaptability and stability in various environments. The comprehensive upgrade of Adam has ensured the smooth completion of the first batch of mass production deliveries in the first half of the year. https://youtu.be/Nmyymmd7bgE Will Cogley Robotic Head: https://youtu.be/eUMVtoO_fS8 Animatronic Teeth: https://youtu.be/VUxryzJJevo Expressive Mouth: https://youtu.be/4pK5x_vOXTk Artemis Humanoid: https://youtu.be/uuFJfXpEIXg TheRobotStudio 20yrs of robotics: https://youtu.be/6uOHOOcIKYE

Not sure I recall seeing this here? Cool design work by a Japanbro Anon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icKanoBvNQY

>>35166 Actually, this looks pretty clearly to me like a smol business... some kind of engineering concern? Very cool! I wonder if they ever finished their Miku-chan bot. This was from 6 years or so ago?

>>35166 Yes, and the question comes up from time to time: >>25595 >life-size Miku >Missile_39 >>26243

>>35201 Thanks, NoidoDev! I found this based on searching from your crosslink : https://x.com/missile_39?mx=2 Looks like they're making some great progress! I don't read Nihongo yet, so I'm unsure at this point what the goal with their project is. Regardless, I sure wish them well with it! Thanks again, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>35675 POTD Nice work, NoidoDev. Kind of a treasure cache of good information. I'm particularly excited to see HannahDev's good progress with brushless actuation. I hope we here can somehow return the favor to him someday. Thanks again! Cheers. :^)

>>35207 >Missile_39 There's also a new video. I didn't watch it completely and it's in Japanese, but it shows the parts of the current robots and some ideas: https://youtu.be/ZC28u1Dqcpg

Tesla's latest is managing some impressive kinematics (using MOCAP'd human data) mimicking human dance. They're getting pretty lifelike with the actuation forces/software accommodating secondary inertial moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-NCFSEHTnM Impressive, IMO.

(This is just an example. a) there are other providers, and b) its opensauce...just make your own instead) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70GuJf2jbYk

>>42186 POTD Totally-not-Chii & her sisters a cute! Cute.

Dear Kibo-chan is just being silly! :D https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1341

>>42856 He should scale Kibo up, or at least share the blueprints and software.

>>42858 Agreed, that would be really nice if he did! :^)

>>42858 I think he did share the software, or at least reveal what control software he used... a blender plugin! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeJxMaNQAzg

>>42875 POTD Excellent stuff, Mechnomancer. I had forgotten about that plugin.

>>42875 Damn, the use of the word "animatronic", plus using a method like Blender, means it's ALL scripted

>>42899 >it's ALL scripted Well, yes. Smol local chatbot LLMs are not trained for giving servo positions or providing responses in a consistent format. When I was kanoodling with the chatgpt API a few years ago (wait 2021 that was over 4 years ago!) it could respond from a list of possible expressions and separate it from the displayed text. It could also provide servo positions but I'm not sure if they actually would make sense. Would have to provide a list of joints and what each limit means (eg servo 1 is the elbow and a value of 1500 is retracted and 2500 is extended servo 2 is wrist rotation where 500 is clockwise and 2500 is counterclockwise, etc). Seen a few projects where they give chatgpt control of stuff like a smol robodoog. I'll probably give SPUD pre-programmed poses to react to keywords since she's all locally hosted on a raspi. Now that I think of it I never did check how well the wizard model is with providing more robot-y responses...

>>42904 >vid This will never not be cute! I'm glad its preserved here for posterity. May you and the rest of us look back on this stage with fond memories when dear SPUD is singing, dancing, and running with the best! Cheers & thanks, Mechnomancer. :^)
