Printing life sized posters provides a tactile method of understanding scale quickly. Aigis has an interesting leg:total height aspect ratio of ~4:7. This contrasts with our ~1:2 aspect ratio in adults. Her long legs were off putting at first. Surprised how rapidly I stopped caring. Her head being mostly in scale with an adult women seems to provide a mental anchor that recontextualizes my perception of her. Confirming my suspicion that we can get away with a waifu that's smol with adjustable legs to reach whatever height is wanted. Posting here because I couldn't think of where to post it.

>>37903 >Confirming my suspicion that we can get away with a waifu that's smol with adjustable legs to reach whatever height is wanted. That's an interesting point you make. Since we'll need our robowaifus to perform some type of Inverted Pendulum kinematics solution anyway, it probably hardly matters much-more that she do it using 'stilts'. >Posting here because I couldn't think of where to post it. Good point. Skellingtons / Armatures, maybe?

Daily Reminder: Hoping to have a rewrite/expansion of our Welcome bread soon : ( >>3 ). > (cf. >>37892 )

>>37903 >>37906 In my experience, taller legs means higher center of gravity, which means more instability. Galatea has actually been getting shorter, and that's one of the reasons. Plus it's lighter, takes up less material, and looks better (more human ratio)

Happy 10th anniversary of no collaboration. Here is my suggestion. team A cad 3d team: -blender -fusion 360 team B sim team: -nvidia issac team C ai team: -nvidia groot -opencv -llama -robot operating system 2 team D electronics team team E mechanical team Heres the head that i made a while back to warrant this thread btw. Before you get mad at me i want to imagine. bear with me. If there was sone actual collaboration. gasps.

>>37921 the head didnt show up

>>37918 All understood & agreed, Anon. One of the issues that we are all addressing here is legislations outlawing robowaifus b/c muh_anti-pedo_hysteria. I think 145cm is the (highly ambiguous) target height IIRC. It's all completely hypocritical (as expected, given (((US New Zealand Australian Canadian British j*wish [but not for Tel Aheeb, ofc] legal """circumstances"""))) ) -- the so-called 'Reborn' baby dolls have no such restrictions, and they are literally extremely-realistic (read: highly-lifelike & anatomically-correct) infants. [1][2] In fact, by making dear Sumomo-chan a smol, doll-sized robodaughteru (no anatomical parts, clearly in the robotic 'dolly' space) I intend to simply sidestep this entire kiked-up tarbaby while still developing the basic C4 systems software + articulation body plans -- and all with benefits you mention (plus others!) that smol dimensions brings (b/c Square-Cube Law, etc.) (In this, she's quite similar to dear Kibo-chan, as you yourself have correctly pointed out before.) IIRC, we had fairly-extensive discussions about this general topic here on the board before... I think maybe in the Doll thread : ( >>372 ) (my apologies if those posts haven't been migrated over to here yet). My own >tl;dr contribution in the matter is simply this: don't provide any ladybits to your robowaifus. Simple as. If you must, then simply accomodate such things for 3rd-party, aftermarket vendors to fill in afterwards. --- 1. Fun fact: these things are marketed primarily at dried-up old catladies, crying into their boxed wine about their wasted lives. There's an incredibly-repellant """culture""" that has built up around these zombie-esque things, quite frankly. :/ https://www.rebornartdoll.com/collections/full-body-silicone-babies (et al) 2. Good practice/training-dummies for j*wish Blood libels against the """goyim""" children, possibly?

>>37926 Some ways to avoid all that nonsense -Separate add on like you said. This also separates the design from just being a fancy sex doll. Like I said to my friend, it's not a sex robot, it's a robot you can have sex with. That's what I did with Galatea, because I designed her as a multipurpose robotic companion and helper, with Pleasure Unit add-ons if the user desires to have a physical relationship with her. -Make it obviously a robot. Not many people will create a fuss if your IRL Voidoll is short, and the ones that do, were never going to support you anyway.

>>37927 Good points, GreerTech. Cheers.

@Chobitsu I have an idea. Put the RoboWaifu design document thread on the >>3 introduction thread

>>37934 Interesting. Why so, GreerTech? It's hardly more than a skellington atp.

>>37935 To cut down on the thread count.

>>37936 Yep, makes sense. I had originally envisioned lots of participation from Anons here to collaborate to create the definitive opensauce robowaifu design doc. But you're right, just a post in Welcome bread seems quite-sufficient today. Will do. We'll see. (cf. >>37940, >>37941 ) Cheers, Anon! :^)

>>37918 >Taller legs, higher center of gravity This is design dependent. I'm planning on keeping all mass as low as possible. When she's walking, that'll change but, I have no idea when we'll be ready for walking. Well, bipedal walking, quadrupedal walking ponies is easy. (GTA is lucky!) >>37926 After reviewing the laws, my home of NZ and Ausseiland have the hardest laws. Essentially, must be 150cm+ and very clearly an adult, including giant ass and titties. The law specifically is against sex dolls being childlike, which I agree with. Nothing childlike should ever be sexualized, the very idea of it is thoroughly disgusting. The arbitrary height and titty requirements are likely more for delineating edge cases. >>37927 It's been stated before, and will be stated again, never design a robot to be used sexually. Design her to be as extensible as possible. Let others decide if they want her to have holes, vibrate, or whatever else they desire. It's all on them, not us. Your Galatea being a great example as you mentioned. >Make her obviously a robot. I waffle on this heaps. I love robots, I want to make something that's clearly a robot. I do however have an unhealthy obsession with Aigis. So, I often come back to designing her, even though I feel her design is too close to human to really work as a design a hobbyist could reasonably build in their garage. Something closer to Dia from World Flipper (picrel2) would be better. >Design document thread @Chobitsu, I'd like to discuss creating hard codified standards for us to all follow there. With the OP dynamically updating to reflect our consensus as it is found. I believe having standards will be a major step forward for us, providing everyone with clarity that'll encourage interoperable designs. This way, we can all use each others designs freely and easily.

>>37940 >my home of NZ and Ausseiland have the hardest laws Understood. OK, patched appropriately! :DD >I do however have an unhealthy obsession with Aigis Understandable, tbh. >@Chobitsu, I'd like to discuss creating hard codified standards for us to all follow there. With the OP dynamically updating to reflect our consensus as it is found. I believe having standards will be a major step forward for us, providing everyone with clarity that'll encourage interoperable designs. This way, we can all use each others designs freely and easil I certainly concur and this has been my desire for years. I'm unsure how to approach this better than you mentioned. I'd suggest the three board staff (You, Greentext anon, myself) all collaborate on that -- with tons of inputs from @Every'non on /robowaifu/ . AS YOU'RE LIKELY AWARE, I'm pressed r/n. I'd like it if you two took the lead in all these board matters atm, while I sit in more of an advisory role. >tl;dr Proceed as you see fit, Kiwi.

>>37940 >>37941 I disagree that having enforced standards will help us all. We all have different ideas and approaches. Take Galatea and SPUD. Both have the same goals and aesthetic influences, but we have completely different design approaches and goals. Even me and Kiwi have differences between Galatea and MaidCom, and MaidCom has differences between her and SPUD The beauty of /robowaifu/ is that it's like an writing contest with a single prompt, "Create a companion robot waifu" All of us have different interpretations, and each interpretation has it's strengths and weaknesses, and each has individual flair to it. There's a reason "design by committee" is basically an engineering slur. That's not to say that collaboration is bad, we help and uplift each other.

>>37940 >Your Galatea being a great example as you mentioned. To.ne honest, there is a ~77 mm diameter hole in the crotch area, but it also has a benefit of helping with the 3D printing. I also do have an official GreerTech Pleasure Unit add-on, but the keyword is "add-on". It's like a light for the Game Boy. Obviously you don't need it, and 99% of the functionality is in the stock Game Boy, but it's there if you want to have fun in the dark. The key motto is what I said earlier; "It's not a sex robot, it's a robot you can have sex with" I don't want a roboprostitute, I want a robowaifu. I want something I can sit down at dinner with, and discuss the politics of robot-human relations. I want someone who will help me around the house. I want someone I can vent to about my shitty boss. And if I want to, I can put in the add-on and have a night of physical intimacy.

>>37942 Fair point. I think I overstated things in my post. >tl;dr >"...as he sees fit." has been a """mantra""" for /robowaifu/ from our very beginning (and indirectly-stated here: >>3 ). Still just as true today. I think I had the Robowaifu Design Document on my mind at that moment, and was reiterating the urge to make available -- to all comers -- the freely-given, freely-received design specs for the Model A opensauce robowaifu. That's still an important need even today! @peteblank may be an insufferable a*rsehole most days, but at least he has this right (even if only for his own selfish, greedy, (((manipulative))) goals): We should be cooperating on a collaborative project together. This is what the MaidCom project here is all about : ( >>29219 ). <---> That said, I certainly approve of your rather-poetic take on a prompt-writing contest going on here. Sweet take. Cheers, GreerTech. :^)

>>37951 You raise a good point; why not both? We each have our own individual designs, and then we also have a large collaborative design.

>>37946 >"It's not a sex robot, it's a robot you can have sex with" I'd simply encourage you to forgo any-and-all references to 'sex' whatsoever regarding your take on your robowaifus. Even if this is an intent on the part of your "customers" (whether paid or no), any admission in this regard on your part is playing right into the dirty kike's hands concerning their desire to destroy you over attacking their favorite pet golem of all: (((feminism))) !! I'm not joking here, either. Any'non who dares to attack feminism in any way-shape-or-form is basically worse to them than Literally Hitler. What we here on /robowaifu/ are doing is effectively laying the groundwork for the most-significant existential crisis the world's Central Banks have ever known (far worse than anything "Der Führer" ever achieved with rm'g the usurers bankers from the Rhineland): the systematic dismantling of their system's primary-mechanism of power against the people. To wit: women & their whoredom. This has always been Satan's #1 tool against mankind! Give men a reasonable alternative to that power system, and the house of cards built on that system will tumble down. This we here all know right well! >tl;dr Don't give these murderers an inch bro -- they'll take a mile!! Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>37952 Exactly. As you already indicated this is /robowaifu/ in a nutshell. <---> I just simply concur with @Kiwi about standards: we need them! Cheers.

>>37953 Don't worry, it's only a design/philosophy mantra. None of my marketing mentions it, and any sexuality is a distinct choice of the consumer, with a separate manual. Anyway, politics or not, I don't want to be too crass/obscene

>>37955 >None of my marketing mentions it, and any sexuality is a distinct choice of the consumer Very wise. >with a separate manual. Still implicates you. >politics or not, I don't want to be too crass/obscene Just so. I personally advocate the benefits of purecel (and they are many). But I won't press that on other Anons here. But there is clearly a significant (and, likely, growing) number of men who are tired of the loathsome aspects of this evil game. Make no mistake: God Himself will restore all things to righteousness -- but in the pozzed w*st of today, that male-female thing is severely broken ATM. >Thus the entire basis of the need for a /robowaifu/ board in the first place!

>>37956 Well, the seperate manual is under a different link, and it's a distinct independent device, which is why it works with Galatana. Is it completely innocent? No, but it puts it as a distinct, conscious choice with a separate device, which is what I wanted anyway.

>>37957 >Is it completely innocent? No I'm not making any commentary whatsoever on the morality of this topic, rather simply warning you about your exposure to the wiles of terrible, satanically-driven evildoers. >but it puts it as a distinct, conscious choice with a separate device, which is what I wanted anyway. Sure, good choice. Anyway, you have my advice in the matter, do with it what you will. <---> BTW, you've been making good, and steady progress with dear Galatea, etc. I hope you keep that pace up, GreerTech! Cheers. :^)

>>37958 One thing to consider is what I like to call "The Detractor Line". There will always be people that are angry at you, no matter what direction you take (the aforementioned satanically-driven evildoers). There is no reasonable way to appease them. The trick is to find the line where it goes beyond them, and risks angering any fence-sitters. That's the line to avoid. >BTW, you've been making good, and steady progress with dear Galatea, etc. I hope you keep that pace up, GreerTech! Cheers. :^) Thank you! v3.0.2 should come out this week? When will all the threads be migrated?

@Kiwi @Chobitsu I found this picture you'll probably like

Updated the papercraft thread to include 2D/2.5D waifu designs after reading >>31835 and >>31848 Any recommendations for reformatting old threads to refresh their usability?

>>37959 >The trick is to find the line where it goes beyond them, and risks angering any fence-sitters. That's the line to avoid. Heh, good advice. Any tips on that? As you can imagine, I'm rather blunt at all times (which has it's upsides, as well! :D . >>37970 Lol. Poor Aigis isn't gonna be happy about this, Anon! >>37975 Great! This is a good idea, IMO. >Any recommendations for reformatting old threads to refresh their usability? Good question! Since you already understand merging, you can try the trick you already used regarding the new Power & Energy bread? (ie, simply wrapper it with a new OP + new images thereto.) And by this I don't mean that you have to merge multiple threads either; simply create the new, cooler OP all by itself as a new thread, then merge the old one into it. Voilà! :^) --- Also, remember it's only the first OP pic that appears in the catalog, so choose wisely! (Not like I need to explain this to an old hand like yourself. :^)

>>37978 >Any tips on that? As you can imagine, I'm rather blunt at all times (which has it's upsides, as well! :D . That's hard to say, because the line is more like a neutral zone, where certain people get triggered by certain things. I'm partially inspired by my observations in the late-2010s that real dolls weren't as popular as people thought they would be. Some ideas include: -Don't explicitly advertise it as a sex robot. -Try to have other uses for her besides physical intimacy. -Avoid the uncanny valley (or that pornstar aesthetic that I personally hate). -Try to make it have a reasonable price. >$900 for a static sex doll is more offputting than a $700 fully functional robot. One automatically fulfilled suggestion is to make it animated and vocal. Since we're making robots, and not dolls, we have mostly fulfilled this (no hate to doll-anons, just doing a sociological report). Even something like an integrated speaker connected to an AI character goes a long way. Anyway, robots are cool. One inspiration for this list is my observations in the late-2010s that real dolls weren't as popular as people thought they would be, as well as why normies might find sex dolls unappealing, even the ones that are lonely (as well as my own gripes with their designs). Another is the opposite side of that observations, most popular fictional robowaifus are independent characters that weren't explicitly designed for sex. One way to think about it is to think about the target demographic: young straight male normies. Most would balk at the idea of a sex doll, but they post sincere memes about finding robot girls attractive, such as the twins from Atomic Heart or Jenny Wakeman.

>>37986 Great ideas & advice, GreerTech. Thanks, this is plenty to think over. Cheers. :^)

I think selling these as a easy to put together kit is going to be the best way to bypass a lot of "legal" roadblocks. And separate the fun parts by selling them from a different site.

>>38016 Sound advice. I think this was basically the >tl;dr outcome of this debate back in the day. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>37941 >Proceed as you see fit I'm going full bore ahead towards codifying standards for us. >>37942 >Enforced Mate, I ain't your boss or your dad. I'm just a pal trying to make it so our independent work can be used together without us needing to coordinate. No one is ever going to enforce any standards here.

I'd like feedback on merging these threads into a robowaifu economics thread. >>1642 >>3119 >>8841 >>18572 They are all similar with posts that could've been in any of the threads and fit right it.

I'd like to make >>1642 the main thread given its age and I like the OP, Agreed on every point, personally. They've always been a hodge-podge without any real distinctives from each other.

>>38029 All I was saying is that coordination may be quite difficult because of the different design goals and approaches.

>>38029 >>38030 I agree on merging the threads. They're basically the same.

>>38042 >Not to get too paranoid, but it's weird how many creators just vanish mid-stride. Don't worry, GreerTech. Goes with the territory of life on the Internets. You learn to take it in stride, sooner or later. Most return with time. OTOH, /robowaifu/ is a truly-unique IB, as I've often said. Quite apart from the extremely-technical & vast swath of information we need to convey (and absorb!) here about these many-and-varied, fast-moving topics related to (nay essential to) building pleasing and effective robowaifus... there's the spiritual aspects of this topical domain as well. As I've often referenced here: distinctly bad-guys do not want us to succeed (cf. >>37926, et al). If you're a Christian of any maturity at all, I'm pretty sure you can sense along with me and others here the spiritual oppression directed against this board. For the uninitiate, that can be rather taxing -- quite apart from all the intellectual & financial strains of pursuing this groundbreaking, frontiersman-like trailblazing we're all attempting to bring into reality here! :D And if you are a Christian, then I recommend you pray along with myself and others for all the /robowaifu/ Anons here (whether currently-present or not). For Robi & Trashmin & their systems. For the tearing down of the kiked-up (((law$$$))) all across the West that have created the very need for robowaifus to exist in the first place. For God to grant us all very-good success -- with both favor in His eyes & in the eyes of man, &tc.!! :^) <---> This is also why we all need to keep supporting & encouraging each other to persevere here together -- and it will be so worth it ALL in the end! Having pleasing & effective, opensource, 100% offlined, locally-run robowaifus freely available for everyman to construct as he sees fit will.change.everything. TWAGMI

These so-called 'j*ws' you're so enamored-of, these kikes -- don't dictate anything in the end. They'll all go down into the pit along with their father Satan! :D <---> BTW, you're still BOS here, peteblank. Don't start sh*te with anyone here or you'll be out on your ear again. Fair warning is fair! Cheers. :^)

>>38043 Oh I know about the (((forces))) opposing us, that's partially why I was worried. But you are right, we can pray, pray to the Lord of Lords. >Having pleasing & effective, opensource, 100% offlined, locally-run robowaifus freely available for everyman to construct as he sees fit will.change.everything. Agreed. Offline local AI will help with everything, not just robowaifus. I was able to recreate https://theyseeyourphotos.com/ with Gemma 3 4B on LM Studio. Imagine therapists who are perfectly logical, instead of having their own agendas. Imagine a world where you can download a friend or girlfriend.

>>38088 People like to cry about Trump running for a 3rd (4th) term, but the dude is already 78 right now. He'll be 82 by the time the next primaries hit. I sincerely doubt he'll become a legit god emperor with rejuvenation tech in that timespan. We'll have someone different in the white house in a blink of an eye. I'm more concerned about civilizational longevity. Americans are too shortsighted to invest in things that don't directly benefit them it seems like. >You need to plant trees whose shade you'll never get to enjoy 'Murricans should be investing more in upgrading infrastructure, laying the groundwork for automation, and trying to preserve nature as best they can. Instead, I see China making strides in those areas, and it makes me wince. Forget 10 years or even 50 years, where will our children's children's children be in 100 years? There needs to be a very long-term investment that is profitable not in a monetary sense but a cultural and QoL sense. The way the economy is shifting, tariffs may not even matter in a decade. They're only important in the short term as far as I'm concerned.

>>38094 Crumbling infrastructure is something most Americans think about every day. The problem isn't that we don't care, it's that the lobbyists don't care, therefore most politicians don't care. The few who do care often win by big margins because the voter is forced to think about it while they're driving through shitty roads to get to the ballot box. Those politicians then struggle to accomplish anything because everyone else wants to pour money into whatever their donors told them to.
