>>42604 >“Well, actually…” :D --- They're rotten to the core, as usual.
Using robowaifus to prove that evolution and Christianity are not mutually exclusive. To deny physical evidence is fallacy, but so is proclaiming that physical evidence disproves the divine is also fallacy.
>>42651 Evolution is like ricohets on a pool table, one leads to another and things bump into each other and the environment But who set up the table? But who holds the que?
Hidden Robowaifu Tara the Android, aka "I feel fantastic" https://youtu.be/cqTaTm5BxBY?si=u5MSpyR_tIawBElJ&t=502 >"obscure android enthusiast forums" Sounds familiar More info; https://youtu.be/xmAx06esNlM Funnily enough, his Geocities page is similar to Galatea's Neocities page, as well as quoting the tale of Pygmalion. In a way, he is my predecessor.
>>42685 Lol. Late Halloween post, GreerTech? :D I remember pictures of this robowaifu being posted here on /robowaifu/ back in the day. She really stood out to my mind b/c she was so tall. Regardless, I hope the Anon who created her is doing OK today. Hopefully he'll find us here on Alogs and join in the fun! Cheers, Anon. :^)

Hopefully he'll find us here on Alogs and join in the fun! Cheers, Anon. :^) Agreed, it's also a pipe dream of mine for him to join us. He might have some insights from the late 1990's - early 2000's era of amateur robotics.

That's very exciting if they actually do it. >that flying "ARIDGE" Taxi segment tho... Beautiful concept. He claimed they are currently in the ARIDGE A868 prototype flight testing phase.

>>42716 The robot is called the "XPeng Iron", XPeng being the name of the company. XPeng appears to be the Chinese Tesla, and they seem to have a lot of ambiotion for the XPeng Iron, which is great. In short, it appears to be XPeng's answer to the Tesla Optimus robot, and IMO, it's better than the Optimus. https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/1ncbv8s/xpeng_iron_is_an_intelligent_humanoid_robot/ https://www.humanoidsdaily.com/feed/xpeng-debuts-most-human-like-iron-robot-details-vlt-brain-and-2026-production-goal https://www.topgear.com/car-news/tech/xpeng-will-start-mass-producing-its-human-iron-robot-2026 The company itself; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPeng We can also look to it for tips on how to make the cognitive architecture https://electrek.co/2025/11/05/xpeng-ai-day-new-ai-model-powering-robots-robotaxis-and-flying-cars/ @Chobitsu, in the end your prediction came true, the Chinese did come through. The very fact that a real corporate robot was designed with non-ugly female features, fills me with a rare hope. Combine that with Jensen's quote about China winning, and I unironically see a good future for the West, if we stay vigilant. I also attached the hip pics you wanted, pervert!
>>42718 Excellent! Thanks very-kindly, Anon. Please (and this is true of any'non here) continue to post information about XPeng Iron here on /robowaifu/ . Cheers. :^) --- >The very fact that a real corporate robot was designed with non-ugly female features, fills me with a rare hope. And myself as well. The lulzy part to come: The baste Chinese are going to strongarm the kikes of the Globohomo west to follow the same course -- the trillions of sheqels per year are simply going to be too big a temptation for (((them))) to resist! We're going to eventually see an East vs. West "arms race" of beautiful robowaifu companions. :D What a time to be alive

>>42703 I've been so happy ever since I saw this video. It's really coming. This combined with that gen-0 model showing that scaling up embodied models works has made me so optimistic for robowaifus in the home doing chores within 2 years. https://generalistai.com/blog/nov-04-2025-GEN-0 We have the scaling laws, and I suspect it'll be like LLMs where open source is a fast follower in terms of capabilities. Even if Embodied intelligence models require an order of magnitude more computational power to start generalizing like LLMs do, all that means is you have to connect your robowaifu to your home server rather than having the intelligence onboard until optimization lets you slap enough processing power into her design. The future is bright.
>>42715 I still thought there was some doubt since that robot doesn't have the finishing touches, but here's someone literally unzipping the backside of the female form factor robot. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DdzDKJnu63c When you get up that close, the robot is a little loud. Not a problem for industrial applications or even just a cleaner-bot, but for something you want to cuddle with, it's not ideal. Probably the first thing they're going to want to fix.
>>42726 POTD >>42729 Don't worry, Anon. Sound-deadening & other optimizations will come. The fact its this quiet and can stand and walk reliably today is already amazing! TWAGMI
>>42729 Nice video find! The fact that me and others thought it was just a costume, and he had to disprove that, is incredibly astonishing. >but for something you want to cuddle with, it's not ideal. Probably the first thing they're going to want to fix. (me who slept with the 3D printer on) "Coward..."
>>42729 I was thinking, "They got a really good body movement actor with some very good breathing control." Clearly I was wrong.

>>42736 Lel'd , good one Anon. :D
>>42733 You are not necessarily wrong. That "back panel" has a visible depth of about a centimeter (can even see a bit of a fan in there, neat!) and otherwise it is pitch black. You could easily have stuffed a double-amputee into a bodysuit, given them a robot back backpack to wear and some remote-controlled hands. If they remove a fair portion of the bodysuit or take the panels off the head, then I might believe.
Can anyone tell me what's going on with /animu/ ? Tuned in for my weekly stream fix and I don't see it listed on the Webring. Is prolikewoah down rn? What happened?

>>42762 I wouldn't put it past the Chinese to have some organ-harvesting nightmare fuel powering the thing. Occam's razor- if the Chinese have mastered total body prosthesis, would they be showcasing in a tech demo and larp like it wasn't TBP? Too much dumbness under the tinfoil for that to be a valid theory. Maybe they're using lab-grown brains to help with the on-board computing? Again, more tinfoil on top of more tinfoil for that kind of digression. I'll go ahead and accept that they're simply ahead of the west when it comes to robotics.
>>42768 >I'll go ahead and accept that they're simply ahead of the west when it comes to robotics. Not especially. Tesla's Optimus dances and moves with more fluidity in this recent video. What's impressive about this robot is the art direction and efforts to keep a "human in a bodysuit" look, which other companies are definitely going to try to copy. People know an idea that sells when they see one. More on that fact: https://chinaevhome.com/2025/11/07/elon-musk-likes-he-xiaopengs-video-self-verifying-irons-identity/ >According to an exposure in a social media post by the founder of international media Pandaily, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and XPeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng engaged in an indirect exchange. >Musk stated, “Tesla and Chinese companies will dominate the market. I have great respect for Chinese competitors; there are many smart and hardworking people in China.” >Subsequently, He Xiaopeng responded, “Happy about Elon’s victory in this shareholder meeting, and I also believe Tesla’s robot and Robotaxi are both excellent. Looking forward to even greater success.” This shows to me that Musk may copy the male and female models design decision, and perhaps even the more human accurate proportions. Just the fact that he was willing to let Ani be publically available is a reason to be expect this. If he was willing to be the first to step out of line on that, I bet he will be happy to do it now that a Chinese company broke with it first and will thus take the heat.
>>42769 Lol. Optimus dances better than Musk does ngl. :DD And I think @GreerTech is right: He Xiaopeng is clearly modelling himself and the company after Elon Musk. Intredasting to see them engaging publicly like this. >If he was willing to be the first to step out of line on that, I bet he will be happy to do it now that a Chinese company broke with it first and will thus take the heat. Good points, though clearly Musk is the bigger maverick of the two IMO. China's not at all opposed to robowaifu production and sale AFAICT. The kiked-up west OTOH, clearly is for the moment! :D because (((reasons))).
>>42768 You can get a cheap pair of robot hands off amazon. Put some 3d printed bits on 'em and give a person a full-body suit and "boom" you got yourself a "totally real robot guise!". Infinitely cheaper than developing a real robot and has the same marketing effect. Maybe I should do similar to prove how easy it is to fake a robot like that. >>42767 The contrast and saturation of that video screams "AI" generated.
>>42769 That's the thing. >Perception > reality Even though all it did was walk across the stage, it looked like a thing that was DOWN TO FUCK. I'm not going to take credit for this (I totally feel validated that this design choice was made because it makes sense, and I've always advocated for it), but the body glove to cover the internals just works. Having it showcased like that gave me a very smug look on my face. >"heh, I knew it. :^)" They're probably in parity, but China had a very smooth presentation. After the clumsy neo showcase that has to be puppetted by a pajeet, the optics just put the Xping Iron on top, at least for now. Until Musk or someone else shows off a bot working walking around a house with cat ears and an articulating tail, China has established the "sexy robot" beach head. >>42771 >Maybe I should do similar to prove how easy it is to fake a robot like that. Maybe you should? Again, my point isn't that it's impossible; it's a matter of "what is more likely?". Do you honestly believe they fitted a quadropalegic inside a robot chassis? Maybe they did, but it's much easier for me to believe they have a working robot.
>>42774 > it's a matter of "what is more likely?". Do you honestly believe they fitted a quadropalegic inside a robot chassis? I said a double hand amputee, not a quadrapalegic. :) I find it very likely for China to fake many things in order to posture and demoralize their enemies. Its psychological warfare 101.
>>42775 I thought you'd already seen this video. >https://youtu.be/m_Ag_SgsHVg?si=WFljQXzDikmDB-nD&t=196 Unlike Starfox, those are robot legs. The principal argument is still the same, >why go through the trouble of faking it when it's easier to just do it for real? as for- >find it very likely for China to fake many things in order to posture and demoralize their enemies. True, in this case, they didn't need to fake anything. They were just flexing with what they had. All it did was walk across the stage. It didn't dance or sing or do any other goofy shit, but it *looked* cool. That's all that matters. If it can do basic chores around the house, it's nothing more than a tech demo, but that doesn't stop it from looking cool on stage.
>>42776 >It didn't dance or sing or do any other goofy shit, but it *looked* cool. >didn't dance Oh, but she does! Just not onstage yet. :D https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1336

>>42777 That's some nice behind the scenes there, let's have it walk on stage, cut a rug, bow, and then walk off stage without spilling their spaghetti. I feel like if it could have danced on stage, they would have shown it off. More importantly, I want to see utility. I want to see rubber meet the road. Neo really spilled their spaghetti, but it was nice to see actual utility (however inefficient it may be). The maid cafe bots can at least deliver drinks to your table.
>>42780 >I feel like if it could have danced on stage, they would have shown it off. Doing anything other than what they actually did * would have greatly-risked "spilling their spaghetti" onstage, as you put it. This R&D stuff is a process. I don't know if you managed to catch the very first, actual appearance of the first Optimus prototype onstage? Here's a refresher if not: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1303 https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1304 Now they can do this after just 3 years : ( >>42769 ). That this XPeng Iron gynoid was able to do this -- as it actually did so live on the day -- shows both a remarkable design going in, and a steadfast commitment to the process in terms of resources through both money, time, and men. They've started out at Point A today. You don't go from Point A to Point Z all in one go! --- Patience, Anons. More than we can dream of is coming, and we'll all get there in due time. This major Chinese company has now broken the ground for an authentic, commercial gynoid product (exactly as predicted here on /robowaifu/ years ago). Hopefully Tesla will soon follow, then dozens => hundreds of other organizations. The robowaifu floodgates are beginning to open...it will become a deluge soon enough. Forward! --- * IE, a slow, steady-pace walk across a smooth surface. That they managed it with such poise for such a tall gynoid at this very early stage is nothing short of remarkable!

Any'non know what's been going on with @NoidoDev? He's been out most of the year, AFAICT.
>>42780 Masiro has certainly proved its utility because it has started with just some dude. I attached a snippet of an interview with Matt Oehrlein (of Megabots) with his experiences working with robots meant for public appeal >>42776 I think this was before your time, but China built a robot that they claimed was to built to fight against Megabots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCJ9sJHunVA The robot looks cool and moves! Surely it is a giant fighting robot just like China says! But if you look closely you can see it is bolted to a massive metal platform on the ground. Not so much a mech as it is an animatronic. Don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you see. Unless you can get in in your own grubby little hands, don't trust any robot promotional material. Especially in the age of AI generated video or video effects. A robot walking against a solid black background is just screaming "chroma key" or some such. And all the jump cuts in the video switching to different angles could easily have the robots swapped in between. I'm a negative nancy because if I am wrong, we all get neat robots but if I'm right we all don't get neat robots but at least I get to go "nyeh nyeh told ya so". Its a win-win for me: hope for the best but plan for the worst :) >=== -patch YT hotlink

>>42835 >Matt's soytalk He's actually an ok dude: didn't take himself too seriously. We had a funny little meme war years ago. I've encountered jelly fans tho. The reason the Megabots vs Kuratas fight was so shit is that Suidobashi Heavy Industries (makers of Kuratas) were assholes. They were taken completely by surprise by the challenge and had Megabots sign an NDA about how crap Kuratas actually was (no power steering, needed a guy with a crowbar to change directions) and they would refuse to give up if an unscripted fight got too dangerous. Kuratas was supposedly a mech you could actually buy like the top, but when it was actually put to the test it was much different (bottom). So there certainly is precedent for companies to lie about their robots.
>>42857 I'm just being silly. I'm not offended by such the way that flamboyant sodomites do so. :D >The reason the Megabots vs Kuratas fight was so shit is that Suidobashi Heavy Industries (makers of Kuratas) were assholes. Interesting. I think this is probably a fun & esoteric niche. Please stay safe, Mechnomancer! We all need you around... >So there certainly is precedent for companies to lie about their robots. True of many such cases. Sad. Such is the way of things if sheqels become your "god". Cheers, Anon. :^)
