>I want to help you but,
What would you do if you knew these things? I can take advice based on different ideas and try to make my design compatible with it.
>your project still feels nebulous.
Because it is. I'm flexible and make things up as I go. As good as possible.
>What is her height?
All my parts are supposed to be seen part of a framework which can be used by as many designs and builds as possible. Having that said, the Joystick design can orient itself on a 130-150 cm waifu. This is what I mostly had in mind. But I also thought of her sometimes as a desktop waifu on the kitchen table, so her body size would probably the size of a smaller human. Obviously, she won't have legs. That said, since she also won't be sex-enabled this is one more reason why she also could be smaller. Also, I want my design to cover as much ground as possible.
Okay.. looking into this now ... I guess, if she was like a 150cm body than her body without legs would be around 60cm without neck and head. The desktop version of a 40cm upper body plus part of the thighs (without neck and head) would relate to a 120cm full body. They could both fit onto a desk, but the taller one would be quite high up there.
>What are her DOF for her body
You mean the main part? Forward, backward, sideways tilting, rotate like a human. I thought this was clear from my design. I simpler version could cut out all the tilting and just go for rotation of the upper body, or tilt forward a bit, for some work.
>neck
as human-like as possible
>arms?
as human-like as possible
>What is your desired payload?
What? I have no idea. Of the arms? There can't be a plan for that. This is meant as a platform to test stuff, I will not plan everything ahead. If I would think like this I would never have gotten started.
>What will be her primary purpose?
- Having some kind of simple waifu design anyone here can actually build and improve.
- Separating the development and testing of anything above the waist from the rest, so it can be part of different prototypes.
- Improving anything above the waist in a waifu that I actually have and is equipped with AI. Instead of working another five or more years on everything from time to time till I can assemble the whole body.
- Having motivation to work on the AI, by having a waifu to interact in daily life.
- Maybe starting teaching her working with her hands as soon as she has good enough arms. Like stirring a pot or cutting some ingredients while posted on the kitchen desk. Maybe playing a xylophone or so.
- Making videos like Masiro Project and Kibo-Chan.
>So far, I just know she's a motorized joystick that may be similar in height as a human without legs.
As short term goal, yes. The parts being added and tested over time are of course meant for a later design with full body, but those who don't want or need that, or can't afford it, can stick with the simpler version.
>Please provide a hard spec sheet
Not sure what this exactly is and most likely I have to say no. This is simply not how I think and work. I also don't see how this would help.
>and more drawings of what you're working towards.
This here shows it quite well:
>>18433 - I might make some kind of collage soon. Maybe I think of reasonable drawings.
>I can work with the crudest of drawings as long as dimensions are known.
Is this about the program you use? By help you mean designing parts, not general advice? I scaled your other design, and my designs are supposed to work at least in certain ranges. Well, if you need something I might just pick something, but what if I later run into problems and have to change it? Are the values above good enough for a start? Equivalent to a 120-150cm body size...
