>>37454 Just in case someone doesn't get the subtext...I obviously don't live in Japan. And yes I do believe Chobitsu understood.

>>37457 :^) >not a resident hikki in Nippon <shiggity Well, what are you waiting for Anon!? >*[packs bags for those robomeido cafes]*...

>>37481 Wipes a small tear from his cheek. I have no foxwife.

>>37481 >>37481 >>37481 My apologies for baleeting your post, Anon. Actually I found the majority of your capp rather humorous. However, I want God's blessings on our efforts here on /robowaifu/ , not his curses. Occultism is something I'll have to oppose. I hope you can understand, it's nothing personal, and it's certainly nothing in opposition to foxgrils! :^)

>>37490 Based. Christ is king.

>>37500 Jesus is Lord Heh, did you know a convention of j*ws & purported 'Evangelical Christians' (of the so-called Christian Zionism movement) is being held to discuss how literally-Hitlers like me and you, by appearances on the Internets have absconded with the phrase 'Christ is King' for their evil, nefarious purposes!? :DD I wish this was pure sh*teposting; sadly its not.

>>37490 I'm mostly goofing about on the Foxgirls. It's an inside joke that's so inside only I know it. It's related to this great story called "Hiraeth" on 7chan.org elit. It's a sci-fi alternate society, time travel. A guy is transported to a different society and it's around medieval times technically. They have Fox girls there. He buys one as a slave, (not necessarily a bad thing there and he's a good owner compared to the times). It's expected for him to have attractive slaves as it influences social standing and if you are not of the right standing, someone might kill you. They also have cat girls and I think even wolf girls, not sure. It's a great story. Some sex but it's not overdone. Mostly it's about him navigating a totally different society and the Fox girl is very helpful. And yes I do find Fox girls cute also.

>>37507 Hehe. Greentext and I have a mutual fren who isn't joking about wanting a cute young foxgrill waifu. AFAICT, I've never convinced him to help out here at /robowaifu/ yet, but he'll be a great asset when & if he ever does participate, I deem. <---> BTW, Robin Hood (1973) is ground-zero for pop-culture of cute foxgrils (& the furfag movement generally). I'd suggest that the modern take on cute animu catgrills (et al) also owes much to that film! :^)

Some of the posts about different eyes/faces in the Propaganda and Recruitment got me thinking about Medabots again. I found out that in February they added the medabot named "Naughty Heart" to one of their mobile games. It's the first medabot in the franchise with a screenface. I don't really know how I feel about that.

>>37515 >I don't really know how I feel about that. What are the issues behind your concern(s), Anon?

>>37269 >Dishonorable mentions. Hmm, okay. But you can scroll down starting here >>31694 through all my AI generated faces, and take into account that there's no reason to make them not look more like that. It's not just your mentioned alternatives in >>37268 and >>37267

>>37529 It's just that the Medabot designs from the anime I watched back in the late 90's were simpler. They weren't all good, but a lot of the designs from franchises that are still around, like Medabots and Digimon, have gotten needlessly more complex over time. And the eyes of Medabots were usually just round or somewhat almond-shaped colored shapes, or otherwise some kind of visor. In the anime the eyes were often expressive in a cartoony way you'd expect in an anime, but they managed to convey expression just fine with voice and body language alone. Apparently in the past 10 years they started adding visible pupils to the eyes, and now they've added one with an expressive face. It just seems weird to chase a modern trend in an otherwise sci-fi series. I remember feeling the same way when Mega Man 11 had quadcopters as stage enemies. But the other thing about it that bugs me is the grid on the face. It's mostly obvious with that chibi twitter image, but the eyes aren't made with a grid of cyan and purple LEDs or something, but there appears to be a black grid overlapping the expressive eyes. I don't know if it's just an artistic shortcut or what, but it really triggers my 'tism.

>>37538 The Naughty Heart design is very busy, and the slightly chibi body proportions don't help at all. I didn't notice the faux-pixels, but now I can't unsee it What bugged me was that the "gems" on top looked like eyes to my brain.

>>37538 I see now, Anon. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I can say that characters designs typically evolve over time, regardless the type of studio involved. Artists (and Art Directors, et al) get bored; the Current Thing(tm)(C)(R)(don't steal) catches the eyes of (((investors))), and they demand the studios shoot themselves in the foot to support it; fads change; etc., etc. Anyway, the topic at hand ITT seems to be both screen faces, and whether Ayylmao-style eyes are appealing. As to the latter, clearly there is an audience for them. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>37539 >>37550 I think the designs just get busier over time because they started out with a very good template and eventually it just keeps getting harder and harder to make new designs that look good and fit in with the art style while still remaining simple, so the designs eventually become increasingly more complex as they run out of ideas. The female medabot designs also became more shapely over time, but I'm not going to complain about that. >the slightly chibi body proportions don't help at all. I mean, all the Medabots are about 3 feet tall, and are all supposed to share the same skeleton, so a chibi design is pretty much a given. >What bugged me was that the "gems" on top looked like eyes to my brain. Yeah, I think there's another design I saw that's supposed to look like it has Hikimayu eyebrows, and it just looks like it has two sets of eyes because of how it's colored. >Anyway, the topic at hand ITT seems to be both screen faces, and whether Ayylmao-style eyes are appealing. As to the latter, clearly there is an audience for them. I like the Ayylmao-style eyes for a few reasons; they're simple and utilitarian, and properly-shaped lenses can give them a wide field of view while keeping everything in focus. Screenfaces, while expressive, adds complexity and are power-hungry, at least to the extent that the screen is one of the most power-hungry parts of a smartphone. But I don't really know how much of a cost difference it makes. I've been thinking about out how to make a cheap little android about 3 feet tall, like a Medabot or a Servbot from Mega Man Legends that could help normalize domestic robots, while still being cute enough to serve as a waifu with some slight modifications, or until a better body is available. But I'm really struggling with the face.

>>37559 >cheap little android about 3 feet tall Not to toot my own horn too much, but that's basically what I'm doing. For the eyes, I use a commercial LED matrix (LED Name Badge). Flexibility and expression of a screen, but not too complicated or power intensive.

>>37562 And the cameras?

>>37563 I don't have cameras yet. I was considering maybe using a mini smartphone for the eyes, and have the camera on the side (phone front camera). I could also go for the medabots method. Maybe another idea is a hidden webcam for a multimodal AI in my PC.

>>37566 Yeah, I'm putting a bit more focus on utility for now. I'm more concerned with not getting so utilitarian that I just end up with mobile robot arms.

Are newer images just broken on this board? New no bully. My own design choice would be concave eye socket creating the illusion of eye contact while the iris is still able to serve as the opening of camera. I am not keen on creating expressive facial motions if I had issue reading and reflecting with them in the first place. No moving parts. Pic related. Occasionally they use less concave or concex ones for poses looking away from the camera.

>>37597 There was some file data lost. We're working on resolving that over the next couple days, Anon. update: This has now been completed for all available files. <---> Nice work, Anon! Cheers.

>>37597 >My own design choice would be concave eye socket creating the illusion of eye contact while the iris is still able to serve as the opening of camera. Smart idea. It would allow for unique eye designs as well.

>>37597 >Follow me eyes I like this idea! So much that I've used it in prototyping; >>18870 Always appreciate seeing this concept bubble up again. So much potential for heaps of cuteness for cheap.

Galatea v3.0.2-prototype. It's a radical departure from previous screen eyes. Benefits include more customization options.

>>37815 Starting to look a bit like night-vision optics, heh? :D BTW, is that a new head-print design for dear Galatea too, Anon?

>>37820 >Starting to look a bit like night-vision optics, heh? Interesting observation. Optical headgear is a good place for inspiration, especially when having to work with flat screens >BTW, is that a new head-print design for dear Galatea too, Anon? Yes. It's going to be part of Galatea v3.0.2

>>37821 >Optical headgear is a good place for inspiration, especially when having to work with flat screens Seemingly-so! :D <insert: pic of cyoot animu robogril SMU Operator -- kitted out -- wearing GPNVG & doing perimeter patrol around Anon's flat at 1AM.jpg.mp4.exe>

My "Solid Eyes" experiment shows you can have some of the aesthetic benefits of screen faces with a non-electronic solid design.

>>38111 I'd love to hear opinions about the designs

>>38113 Slightly different configuration of the screen eyes, more in-line with the face

>>38111 I see what you're saying. Since we are all pretty used to seeing dear Galatea with screen eyes, these flow right along with that same motif. They certainly resemble common eyewear more than the phone does. Do you plan to install cams in them or anything? >>38113 >>38114 I think I prefer the first example just slightly ATM -- but that could easily simply be my current mood! I might flip on that tomorrow, depending. Also, I expect the IRL experience for you with the screen right there with you is different for us merely seeing the images posted. >tl;dr I personally think this is something that you yourself can judge best, GreerTech. Cheers. :^)

Would something like this work for making facial expressions? https://youtube.com/shorts/uh5CMuSAcQs?si=mAQebdKKg3UOv5PP

Perfect timing. So idk about you guys but to keep it simple all just have it range from happy to neutral. Cogley’s skull is open source and has a wide range of motions however it has like 14 servos and must be quiet a pain in the butt to assemble.

I know big tech is longhoused/globohomoified, and wants to avoid any cuteness and human affection, but is "scarecrow animated through black magic", really the best way to go?

>>42578 And is that cloth removable and washable? The last thing I would use a for a cleaning robot is exposed fabric.

>>42578 Heh, it is just about the most-unappealing take (from an organization that is meant to be taken seriously) for a robo-face that I've seen. We have literally thousands of examples of degenerate """art""" by kikes...they seemingly love it. Yet another example of this maybe? >>42579 This is an important practical concern. A fabric suit of sorts has been discussed here before (Skin, Materials, R&D threads), and what to do about cleaning, maintenance, and repair. That part of this android's design isn't the issue. The creepy af face design sure to give kiddies nightmares is. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>42578 >>42586 I'd get a black one, put this face on it so the cameras go through the pupils, put an afro on it, and make it address me as "massa". When my waifu is completed, we will refer to it as "the help".

>>42578 It only takes a permanent marker to make it better :D OR do like boston dynamics did with "Sparkles" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG4PPkCyJig >>42586 > is just about the most-unappealing take (from an organization that is meant to be taken seriously) for a robo-face that I've seen. 10 buck says the design is by diversity hires

>>42596 LOL. >10 buck says the design is by diversity hires Fair enough. A j*wess, maybe? I'll happily pay up if you can prove no kike was behind this. :D

>>42596 >10 buck says the design is by diversity hires Worse. I think it's just design by a committee of normies to maximize the appeal to normies and old boomers that dislike technology in general. That seems like the fastest way to make something as painfully bland and inoffensive as this robot.

>>42606 Well they fucked up and went in the opposite direction.

>>42607 What?

>>42607 I've heard the 'bot is worse. There is a waiver you have to sign and one of the things it includes is the ability for employees to remotely control the robot without your knowledge. Its probably AI: Actually Indians. The sad thing is that this is nothing new. https://www.techspot.com/news/108173-builderai-collapses-after-revelation-ai-hundreds-engineers.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/shopping/2024/04/04/amazon-just-walk-out-indian-workers/73204975007/

>>42614 >jeet teleoperators Pretty inevitable. Only way for the Globohomo Big Tech/Gov to make the (((line go up))) during Current Year. Just say no, is my best advice! :^)

Happy Halloween!

>>42618 Happy Halloween, GreerTech.

>>42619 Lol I just realized I accidentally put this in the face thread than the meta thread

>>42621 Heh, you saw that too ehh? :D
