>>36521 Good idea. Self lubing via voice command or at certain detected times sounds much easier than the cleaning part. But if it's DIY, it can be part of the docking station so when it recharges it is also auto cleaning. If you only have to insert cleaning wand, the docking station can just have a decent servo cram it inside.

>>36330 >self-lubricating and self-cleaning orifices...trying to find a solid material that would be slippery to the touch with just water I maybe, possibly, have a solution to this. There's this video I've linked before because it's a super damn good composites video. This guy goes over a whole range a substances added to epoxy and what they can be used for,. If you want to ever do anything with any sort of composite or glue you really need to see it. In it he talks about "boron nitride cubic" an extremely hard material but it's super slippery. Now it happened to come to me that you could mix this with something like TPU, or Plastisol that I talked about here >>35259 (it's PVC but a jelly bear like consistency elastomer) And have a stretchy substance but with a good heavy mix of the boran notride on the surface have something slippery. I haven't tried this. I'm going by what I've been told but "if" this worked I could see it being a good material. Because B.N. is a mineral it would not rot or mold and PVC, is a stable material ,maybe this would be of some value. The boron nitride is used in cutting bits but what you would use would be a very fine power so no it would not cut you, I don't think. Where he talks about BN in the video is 27:52 but the whole video is stupendously good and will give you years of education in a very short time. In fact all his videos are good. He very meticulous but explains things very easily and completely on all sorts of subjects. From making alcohol to pulse jet engine carts. Super Strong Epoxy with Diamonds and More! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KjlyXKeo8c another on a composites in general I'll throw in it's good also. Easy Tricks Using Fiberglass Strengthening! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pc-Sd_J26E As for self lubricating. You could mix your own mix, have the waifu swallow it. Provide suitable valves so that the swallowed mixture went to the right place. When you make your whoopie fun parts add in a bunch of toothpicks or small wires or whatever to make little channels. These would close up when the orifice is installed. Add a pump from the lube to these small holes and pump a few times. Instant autolube. For cleaning, powered douche or she could swallow water and drain it out below. Might be nice to do to rinse the mouth and other parts anyways. >=== -patch hotlink

>>36884 I thought my post went through sometime last week, but I guess it didn't. Years ago I saw a video by Gerald Pollack (possibly this video: https://youtu.be/p9UC0chfXcg ) and his university found out a hydrophilic material will create a layer of water on it that's thick enough to push water impurities away by up to a few millimeters if there's infrared light or a similar energy source acting on it. He patented a water filtration system using this, with no filters, with a water intake being split into more pure and more contaminated water output, which could be looped until the pure water is practically deionized. I wanted to use this for a filtration system in my waifu, every one of her holes would constantly be flushed with pure water for cleaning them and anything consumed by any of those hole would lead to a small digestion system to break-down anything and extract water from it, then piss-out the waste later. It would mostly just be tap water impurities and old cum, but if it can dehumidify the air for moisture then dust and other shit in the air taken in by breathing would also get filtered out. Obviously, none of that requires the hydrophilic material to be soft. But I figured if it could repel salts and other things a few mm from the surface with only nice, warm infrared light, then maybe if that layer of water could be thick and strong enough to reduce friction on contact with skin, and that really seems to be what lubrication is all about.

>>36934 >I thought my post went through sometime last week, but I guess it didn't. Hmm. In my experience here, Alogs' server has generally been quite reliable (apart from some human-error issues. :), and I'm sure we wouldn't have baleeted such a post. If you notice it happening again, please let us know in our current /meta thread. Thanks, Anon.

>>36935 I have to post from work, because my entire IP range at home is banned from here. And the Internet I have at work isn't reliable. So the issue is likely on my end.

>>36934 That is amazing. You know I think I had heard of something like this a long time ago but had totally forgotten. I have been trying to think of ways to purify water but forgot that. It might come in super handy. Thanks. I wonder if a resin 3D printer due to it's high resolution could print out these channels, or, print a mold on which you could cat the channel? I also wonder, haven't viewed the video downloading now, if it would separate viruses and bacteria? One thing I have looked at is ozone generation. Ozone wipes out everything, that I know of, making the water sterile.

>>36940 >I have to post from work, because my entire IP range at home is banned from here. Hmm. Must be global, we ourselves have no range bans active. You probably are yet another incidental victim of troonposters attacking this site. Apologies, Anon. Did you make an appeal?

>>36943 I got range banned some months back as well and have to post on my cell phone now. It’s very annoying. How do you appeal it?

>>36962 >How do you appeal it? In my experience, there's typically a form to fill out you see once upon notification of being banned. Never been banned here on Alogs though, so I'm not entirely-certain in this specific case. Barring that, there's an email address for Robi on the contact page. https://alogs.space/.static/pages/contact.html As with the other Anon, my apologies Artbyrobot.

>>36942 I'd like to make a filtration system using this method to purify my tap water, but the issue I just keep running into is the material used. He used nafion, which isn't very durable and absorbs water, and I don't really trust it. The only other materials I find are hydrophilic are a bitch to machine like borosilicate glass, need a coating of a chemical that will probably wear off over time, or need some kind of surface treatment I have no idea how to do. And until I find a material to use I can't come up with a good design, or at least one that isn't just the same as what Gerald Pollack already patented. But as for viruses and bacteria I think it can filter them out too, but for the sake of caution I was going to add a UV light for disinfection, although where the light is added in the design still depends on the material used. I could get much better use out of a UV light if I don't have to worry about it degrading plastic. I've also considered ozone nano bubbles, but my main concern with that was taking a shower. Ozone is great and all, I use it on my laundry, but if it's not agitated out of the water before it sprays out of my showerhead, then it might make breathing in the shower a bit unpleasant. I figured that a soft hydrophilic material was a higher priority than one that's easy to machine. (and I have other tech secrets I intend on keeping to myself until the time is right)

>>36884 The second link doesn't work.

>>37286 >The second link doesn't work I tried it and it worked fine for me????

BTW this guy here has a huge number of fiberglass videos. It's for boats but fiberglass is fiberglass. It covers a wide range of techniques, coatings, and all sorts of stuff for boats but like I said, it all much the same. https://www.youtube.com/@FishBumpTV/videos

>>40898 I must be hyposexual, because spending PC money on a sex doll is insane to me. Now if it had other uses, or at least can be a girlfriend, then I can see possibly spending that level of money. Is GreerTech hyposexual or am I raising good points? It's up for other anons to decide (early adopters)

>>40899 Compare cooming on tap being able to pick any body part vs whatever youre using your graphics card for(chatbot rp or videogames more often than not)

>>40900 So yeah i am kind of mysoginist. I have an ex wife that hates me and i caught syphilis. It got cured but you know what im not a people person. Hell i dread going outside.

>>40901 Don't worry, I totally understand. I will say, about my point, if your sexbot is advanced as you want it to be, then easy tasks should be within its purview. More bang for your buck.

Since (unsurprisingly) the theme of the derailment-discussion turned in this direction, I'll relo these here rather than /meta or whatnot. Cheers.

>>40924 Asking and discussing if most people are willing to spend money on a certain type of robowaifu is business related, it's market research and surveying demand.

>>40927 Fair enough, but the posts relo'd here speak for themselves, I think. Business, Finance, Organizations, Operations, Logistics, & Legal offers quite a broad scope! Turning towards sexual degeneracy and personal issues (as is peteblanks' wont, in basically every thread on a long-enough timescale) doesn't fit into any of these categories, IMO.

>>40928 >Turning towards sexual degeneracy It might seem dirty on the surface, but it's a good question. How much will average people pay for a single-purpose robowaifu, aka a sexbot? My question on >>40920 wasn't rhetorical. Both me and peteblank made good points. >>40923 is basically like how the PS2 came with an inbuilt DVD player, in an age where DVD players were expensive, so it became the most bestselling console in history. It doesn't matter if you have the best and mostest perfectest consumer invention ever, if it doesn't have what the consumers want. Just ask Betamax... My personal viewpoint is that a robowaifu at those price ranges should be able to do other tasks and provide comfort. Most people don't want to pay those prices for basically a masturbation aid that would still give them post-nut clarity depression because of the lack of emotional intimacy, and like I said before, I could be wrong in my assessment. Marketing and consumer demand is a very important part of a robowaifu design meant for distribution and/or selling. I've said before that we will need an entrepreneurial spirit and mindset. If you want the thread to only be about logistics, maybe we can have a market research and consumer demand thread. As for peteblank, if you're reading this, my AI manual has prompts for an AI therapist and Couples Advisor

All im saying. So you want a coombot right. But turns out elon musk snd the chinese are not making them like you thought they would. So who are you going to turn to? Well theres that guy. Who else? Well let the auction begin.

I just had a naughty idea. It would probably be trivially easy to do a womb tattoo on a robowaifu.

>>42170 >womb tattoo I believe the proper word for it is "Tattooterus". And sure, on a robowaifu it can have tacky RGB lighting or even be a custom display if you want.

>>42366 >And sure, on a robowaifu it can have tacky RGB lighting or even be a custom display if you want. <not covering every.single.submicron. of her surface with multicolored lighting! Shiggy. :D

>>42373 Optical camo will be implemented eventually, but combat features are very low priority.

>>42404 Ehh, its for entertainment. Dancin' & stuff. Not combat.

>>42405 Resistance is futile.

>>42404 >>42405 >>42427 Blackwaifus: GreerTech PMC Jokes aside, I do want basic security functions. Imagine this; You are hosting a party, and you're afraid that someone may sneak into your room and steal stuff. Your worst fear is coming true, but as they open the door, they see Galatea v3.0.7, watching them. It's like a ring camera, but mobile, indoors, and very conspicuous without being overbearing. Nannies for tweens will be a thing of the past. She can function as an alarm, and her eyes are removable.

>>42427 >>42429 Heh. >I do want basic security functions. Fair enough, we've discussed it in some depth already ( >>10000 ). We're off-topic ITT rn, I'd think. :^)

For some reason YouTube decided to recommend me this video on Chinese sex dolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWbAWI_P5cQ (It knows too much)

>>42517 It's interesting to see how much is handmade. No wonder it's so expensive! If it was a less sexual* subject matter, it would considered fine art. *specifically non-performative heterosexual male sexuality

>>42520 >No wonder it's so expensive! Exactly my thoughts as well. I wonder if that is real human hair (there's a market for that), or some kind of fine synthetic. Regardless, I find that part of the operation (head assembly & decoration) particularly interesting. Must have taken quite a few iterations to develop the manufacturing techniques.

I decided to copy my post from the visual waifu thread >>43010 about my marionette sex doll idea, since I didn't do that before; it's been edited slightly for context. For those who didn't read that thread, it's intended to be used with an AR visor that projects an image of your desired waifu onto an inert love doll while having sex with her; the doll is hooked up to a marionette-like cable system that enables her to move. Hopefully soon I'll have some time to do some more concentrated work on the visual waifu project, but I want this to be in its proper thread. Marionette Waifus And You: A Solution for the Robo-Sex Problem Using Current Technology This is how we could enable the most immersive illusion of holowaifu sex. With this, you could buy an inert love doll (already exists and is far cheaper than a fully motorized and autonomous robowaifu) and plant a context-sensitive tracking marker on the doll to have the AR visor project your holowaifu onto her within a mixed VR/AR world that creates a digital clone of your environment. This is good enough for motionless starfish sex where the girl lies there like a pillow princess, something a normal inert waifu doll can also do. But unlike a normal waifu doll (or the starfish sex in a Reddit-tier betabux relationship), your waifu will smile and moan back at you in the AR world as she tells you she loves you. With this feature in place, we've officially surpassed even the minority of betabux relationships that actually give monthly starfish sex and aren't completely dead bedroom affairs that feature the roastie cucking the paypig with Tyrone and giving the cuck nothing. But we're not done innovating yet. We're going to go even better: If you want your waifu to be capable of multiple forms of sexual positioning and moving with you as you have sex with her, you could use the visor with an inert love doll rigged up with an external robotic frame mounted on a wall near your bed, which is much simpler to implement than building the robotics directly into the waifu doll. You could use a green screen-like system so the external robotics aren't picked up for rendering into the VR/AR hybrid environment, so that when you wear the AR visor and go into the AR world, it looks like your waifu is moving on her own. Your holowaifu will then be able to ride you, twerk on you, and do many other sexual acts, and it will look and feel realistic. Of course you could just have the robotic frame and the love doll without the visor, but the visor would increase immersion and let you easily customize your waifu's appearance, and make it possible for your waifu to follow you around without the need for a full-blown robowaifu using the already-established AR functions simply by telling her to disengage from the doll and become a pure hologram again. This "Sexoskeleton" setup would appear very similar to the Major on the original Ghost in the Shell movie poster (pic related); a naked girl with a bunch of marionette-like cables and robot things connected to her. There would be limits to the sex positions you could do (pile driver, wheelbarrow and other uncommon positions could be difficult), and shower sex is off the table for numerous reasons, but you can do most standard positions. The robotic frame would probably be largely cable-based, as maneuvering the AR-enhanced waifu doll through the use of a power armor-style rigid robotic exoskeleton is both difficult and probably unnecessary, and having a set of flexible cables as the primary actuators and support structures increases the amount of positions you can do because you won't have hard robot arms getting in your way. This is in some ways an improvement over the standard robowaifu concept, as it doesn't require complex navigational AI (or the substantial amount of maintenance and power consumption difficulties associated with a standard robowaifu); the AR visor uses about as much power as a smartphone, the robot frame can just plug into the wall, and the waifu only even has a body when she's having sex with you, and the rest of the time she's an AR hologram that can remove herself from the love doll and follow you around at your pleasure. And most crucially, removing the robotics from inside the waifu and implementing them as an external robotic frame fixes numerous issues and costs orders of magnitude less than a full robowaifu while fulfilling the primary purpose that 99% of robowaifu buyers have for her. It doesn't give you full autonomous robot functionality; instead it strips down the problem robowaifus are attempting to solve to the bare minimum and gives you the all-important function of being able to have realistic sex with her, and it does this using established technology with minimal new developments needed. Obviously we can't do the GITS poster Major setup to start with, as even this is a pretty tall order (although not nearly as tall as developing a full robowaifu). But it's a good goal to work towards, because even if robowaifu technology became viable, it would likely be limited to the very rich. But once the new AR technology matures, average guys could afford something like this - or even build it themselves using DIY instructions because the skill level and equipment requirements are the kind found in high school and college robotics clubs, not professional industry. I think this solves a lot of core robowaifu problems, and I'm interested in hearing appraisals of its feasibility and desirability.

>>43203 tl;dr my method to enable robot sex is basically Team America puppet sex

Addendum to respond to some of the posts from earlier in the thread: I see a lot of talk about incorporating various complex mechanisms into a robowaifu to clean out the cum from her after sex. Some of you guys need to look into outercourse methods like thigh sex/intercrural sex and hotdogging. I get that people want full PIV intercourse, but in many cases it feels just as satisfying to do outercourse. I did that with my girlfriend/FWB when I was in college to avoid another type of complexity, namely getting her pregnant. Cumming on the love doll rather than inside her means the only thing you need is some disinfecting wipes or hand sanitizer after you're done. I'm not sure if this is even worth a post, but it seems like an obvious and yet somehow largely overlooked way to sidestep a lot of technical issues.

>>43203 Thanks for moving this convo ITT, Anon. >Marionette Waifus Yeah, I think that conveys the basic idea quite well. Once it became familiar, Anons should recognize the meaning immediately.

>>43203 > (part 1 of 2 -related : >>43009 )

>>43208 >Once it became familiar That assumes that the concept gets popular enough to become familiar. Which I hope it does, but that remains to be seen. And we still have to do the visual waifu portion first. I suppose some people might be willing to bang an unmodified doll, but the immersion increase that the AR visor gives is substantial.

>>43211 >but the immersion increase that the AR visor gives is substantial. It's going to take a significant investment of time & energy to develop all the 3D model's details; the mechanisms to control the marionette; to register the two together in the field of view of the visors to do a proper overlay of the waifu onto the puppet; to sync audio input & output as well (&tc, &tc...) >tl;dr Patience! This is a big undertaking, even if the concept itself seems simple. Better bone up on your C++ & Blender skills in the meantime! Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>43203 It sounds like a good idea, and I've seen similar systems with full VR and just a mechanism. But I don't think you would need a giant marionette system, which would be very impractical for a consumer* to mount on a ceiling, and would basically limit her to one room. I think simple motions like gyration are relatively easy to motorize. Also, since we're not trying to replicate a woman absolutely, we could do things that human women can't, like vibration or milking systems. You mentioned thighjobs in another post, well imagine if the thighs could vibrate. With movement, you can do a Galatea-style feetbase, or have a "wheelchair" waifu. You are very creative, and it's interesting comparing your ideas to my standalone robot. You have 2010s futurism with ideas about VR environments, AR trackers, and virtual robowaifus, and I have 1960's futurism with standalone robots, rayguns, and Rod Serling standing in the corner monologuing about the irony of my fate. *"consumer" also including those who build from open source plans

>>43217 >I have 1960's futurism with standalone robots, rayguns, and Rod Serling standing in the corner monologuing about the irony of my fate. LMAO

>>43217 >I've seen similar systems with full VR and just a mechanism. I didn't know there was anything similar to this out there. You got any videos or articles about it?

>>43236 I thought I saw something years ago, but I've might've been wrong. The concept is easy though, just have some hips attached to a motorized mechanism or better, an accelerometer.

>>43248 Ah I see what you mean, you're talking about a VR pod that doesn't have a doll, just a fleshlight and maybe a haptic feedback suit. What I'm talking about probably wouldn't be a home setup, but it would instead be operated by a doll brothel. Most people aren't going to be able to deal with either the initial cost or the maintenance themselves. But then again, I think the same is likely to be true if a full robowaifu is created. Personally I doubt haptic feedback could give the same skin-on-skin sensation as a doll, but I don't know that much about it. It's notable that a few doll brothels already exist, but the feminists have been hard at work trying to get them shut down.

>>43251 I wasn't even thinking about haptic feedback.
