Galatea: Maid Robot GreerTech 11/13/2024 (Wed) 10:20:10 No.34324
For the last year, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. I call her Galatea. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, around $295 to make. It's also very customizable, you can choose the color, dress, hair, and even AI. I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots and robotic companions, while it is not the most complex, it is easy to mass produce and cheap.

Here is her legs
For the AI, I just used a Bluetooth speaker with Backyard AI
She can also do some chores. She can vacuum, sweep, mop, sterilize surfaces, and do mental tasks.
Hello GreerTech, welcome! Good luck with your Galatea project. Hopefully, you'll share with everyone here your development progress with your robowaifu designs. Seems like you're using a robovac as your mobility base for her? This is a good idea, IMO. >I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots I would consider this much closer to the Model A during it's R&D phase. I too, am trying to devise a Model A robowaifu design : ( >>3001 ). Good luck with your robowaifu development adventures, Anon! Cheers. :^) >=== -minor edit

>>34335 Thank you! Yes it's a robot vacuum cleaner. Good luck on your own project!

I added a counterweight, and to maximize functionality, I used an air purifier as the counterweight

Galatea has been tested and is now officially released! Files and Instructions; https://greertech.neocities.org/galatea
>>34344 LEWD!
>>34355 Just compressed the main instructions manual.
>>34355 >>34360 Congrats, Anon! If you can manage it w/o doxxing yourself, I'd suggest you attempt some assembly videos for Galatea, pushed up to say, Rumble, and linked back here so Anons here can reproduce your work more easily. <---> Good progress so far Anon. Do you mean to continue refining your designs for her? If so, do you think you'll focus more on the hardware or the software next? I really like that you've made everything clean & simple at this stage (a real benefit of the Model A thru Model T lines by the great Henry Ford, as well). I hope you can continue that motif with any further advances for your robowaifu. >(cf. Gall's Law : >>33553 ) Cheers, Anon. :^)
>>34361 I am planning an add-on with a small, super cheap AliExpress smartphone, so you can do video-calls, virtual babysitting, and have the AI running all the time. I also am planning more variants of the Galatea AI.
>>34361 >so Anons here can reproduce your work more easily I made sure to make the manual very detailed and comprehensive so that anyone can build it. I'll post it here independently so anons can see how it's built and what materials are required.
>>34370 Great. I also see you edited your document a bit, that's good as well. I'm still certain that having assembly videos for Galatea would help the majority of Anons. From your document: >"The AI used is Backyard AI..." I'll presume you mean this one (around here we like to go straight to the sources)?: https://huggingface.co/backyardai <---> Looking forward to seeing your new progress! Cheers. :^)
>>34373 Here is the AI used. However, you can use whatever speaking AI you want, that's the beauty of an open-source, infinitely customizable design. https://backyard.ai/hub/search?q=%40greertech
>>34377 Great! Thanks for the info, Anon. Cheers. :^)
>>34377 Just added new roles to my AI character.
>>34384 If anyone has any ideas for a role/trait, reply to this post
>>34366 Lately this kind of idea has been on my mind, android smart phones could be a nice alternative to the usual arm based SBCs. Your often getting a better SOC with more ram, you get sensors like a GPS and accelerometer and a built in UPS (the phone battery). The only obvious limitations is android (when compared to generic GNU Linux) and lack of IO. But I think both can be overcome with a little bit of effort. A termux chroot (especially if rooted) can be used to claw back more of a GNU Linux like environment. For IO, paring the phone with a micro controller capable of USB, is a way of adding IO. >>34377 The link seems to be broken, all I see is "No characters found."
>>34420 Try creating an account, and then make sure NSFW is enabled.
>>34420 I agree about using smartphones. They're a great example of cramming as many features into a small space. Plus, most of that space is taken up by the battery, so it's actually smaller than what you hold in your hand. The only part I'm concerned with is the IO. You basically have to have a robot brain stem with only two pins.

Comparison of; Galatea, Woman body optimised for vase mode, and MaidCom I'm curious on how that dress looks from a side and back angle as I've been optimizing for clothing of a similar size.
>>34423 >le smart phones There's robot kits out there that you can control with apps on your phone, so you could probably develop some sort of bluetooth communication between the phone app and the robot. Mark Tilden described this as "horse and rider", where the horse worries about mundane stuff like not stepping in holes, going around that tree stump, and the rider decides the destination. But me, the cyberpunk that I am, don't trust corporate AI services: I don't want them stealing my mech and powerarmor building secrets >:3
>>34441 Funny you say that, because that's how the robot vacuum I used as a base works exactly.
>>34436 That's a pretty good side-by-side comparison, Kiwi. I assume you made some rough scaling transforms for it?
>>34436 Here's the sideview like you asked. I had some excess material, so I tightened it up with a binder clip, Homer Simpson-style. It's cool seeing my work side by side. Also that you found the original that it was modified from.
>>34436 vase mode! Very nice.
