Instructions for anyone who is curious

Your manuals are getting better, GreerTech. This is the way, you're on the right path IMO: Slow & Steady (cf. >>33553 ). Cheers! :^)

>>38075 Thank you!!! I'm glad you noticed, I put a lot of effort into the manuals, in a way, they're a project in itself.

>>38076 >in a way, they're a project in itself. Indeed. As someone once said: >"The job's not finished until the paperwork's completed." Cheers, Anon. :^) Forward!

>>38152 >>38158 These are super-cute, GreerTech. Seriously, you need to develop & market these is my advice, Anon. I don't think it would distract you much from your slow-and-steady design progress with dear Galatea, et al, and might actually bring a little money into the development coffers for you in the meantime! Good luck, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>38159 Unfortunately they're just one time AI images, but I can see about 3D printing the fumo one with an image-to-3d model generator. I'll also use them in marketing and promotion. As for making money, I'll need to promote first to get an audience. Despite our earlier assumptions, having a robowaifu design is not an instant blockbuster.

>>38160 Wise words. I'll be praying for your good success, GreerTech. Cheers. :^)

>>38073 Made some fixes to the manual

Working on some little upgrades -Interesting idea for a counterweight -Slightly modified duct tape latch

I also made some videos of her speaking, both of which are references to computer history.

Galatea Introduction

>>38273 >>38274 Great progress! Forward

I've updated to v3.0.3

>>38313 Slightly modified manual

>>38313 >>38317 >Galatea v3.0.3 Instructions.pdf Naicu! Good progress, Anon. I meant to ask you: Why the opposition to using a LiDAR vacuum base? Because the robowaifu's base/legs get in the way or something? Also, thanks for the 'Backup Survival Guide' section. Very helpful in general for all smartphone users. Cheers, GreerTech. :^)

>>38318 >Why the opposition to using a LiDAR vacuum base? Because the robowaifu's base/legs get in the way or something? Exactly. They do a 360-degree sweep, and having the legs in the way is going to interfere with it.

>>38325 Got it, makes sense. Thanks, Anon.

Pulp Sci-Fi Galatea

>>38388 Very cute! >>38389 Very mysterious... <---> GG, GreerTech. These can be great for your ads/propaganda. Cheers. :^)

Updated the manual once again -Removed bad link for maid dress -Added more uses

>>38536 >-Added more uses Naicu! That's one of the more-enjoyable parts of your manual, GreerTech. GG & cheers. :^)

Coming soon to a Drive-In near you!

>>38590 >*[popcorn intensifies]*

I'm working on a new head design.

>>38664 That's looking really good, GreerTech. Keep going! :^)

>>38664 The illusion works in real life too, the eyes appear to follow you.

>>38673 I like the effect, GreerTech. GG. :^)

Updated to v3.0.4 -Added new head design (>>38673) -Added Introduction to the manual -Amended manual

>>38688 Corrected some minor errors

>>38839 Fixed and Updated link https://odysee.com/@GreerTechother:3/Galatea-v3:b?r=2RAnQD4k7R6nPoYVC32GJaXWCqK6sKmT

Updated manual -Fixed errors -Added backups

Please post the blonde pics here!

>>39317 By fan request, here they are! First was from Grok, second was from ChatGPT To be fair to Grok, I did ask for less details

>>39321 This is a good demonstration of how Galatea is infinitely customizable. Hair color, eye design, "skin" color, clothes...

>>39321 A CUTE.

>>39442 Future of Galatea; Short term: -New Accessories -More utilization of hardware Long term ideas (one's that need to be figured out): -Better elbows -Additional "adult fun time" accessories ---- So far, I have been mostly focusing on promotion (as well as other GreerTech projects). The lion Galatea picture did give me some ideas. As I type this, I'm printing a sturdier version of the cat ears.

>>39443 OK, got it. Thanks for compiling this short-list for us all. Do any of these plans involve actuation abilities, eventually? The >tl;dr is that if you're going for "Companion Maid Robot", then it'd be tremendously-valuable if dear Galatea can manipulate things, as well as her sweeping abilities. Makes sense? >The lion Galatea picture did give me some ideas. As I type this, I'm printing a sturdier version of the cat ears. Excellent! Please don't forget her cute whiskers & paws and tail, ofc. Catgrills always need a fluffy tail! Good luck, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>39448 The problem with motorized actuators is that a big question arises: why? I can move the arms manually to do most tasks. Adding motorized articulation would raise the price and add to the complexity, and open-source AI eye-motor coordination systems aren't quite there yet for daily use. And the sweeping abilities are easily done with her base. That's why I'm definitely excited about open source robotics. People far more talented than me are figuring out a way to solve that very problem. >Please don't forget her cute whiskers & paws and tail, ofc. Catgrills always need a fluffy tail! For the tail, I can do a simple cosplay tail, same with the paws Relevant links; Cosplay Tail https://www.amazon.com/BANLAN-Costume-Children-Halloween-Christmas/dp/B07S1YGM93/ Cosplay Paws https://www.amazon.com/BNLIDES-Cosplay-Fursuit-Costume-Accessories/dp/B0BNX9P3KH/ Foxgirl set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JFDBX1Z/

>>39449 >why? I'm not trying to belabor the point. You have good arguments on your side ATM. But I think most people are going to immediately think of the 'sci-fi' version of things whenever someone mentions robot maids? >tl;dr I'm really pleased with Galatea as-is. I'm simply encouraging you to keep moving forward with her. That's all. :^) >Foxgirl set Topshelf!! :D This will make many Anons very happy, GreerTech. Cheers.

>>39450 Sorry if I sounded confrontational, I asked "why?" in an engineering sense, as a prelude to my point that the software isn't quite here yet for arms, so they would be useless outside of scripted events. >But I think most people are going to immediately think of the 'sci-fi' version of things whenever someone mentions robot maids? It's funny you said that, because "making sci-fi real" is basically the GreerTech ethos >I'm really pleased with Galatea as-is. I'm simply encouraging you to keep moving forward with her. That's all. :^) I'm glad you like her, that's a good sign for the future. And yeah, I do plan on adding upgrades in the future. I want her to be cute and useful, to fundamentally change the world and human/robot dynamics, with the larger goal of changing human society itself.

>>39451 I guess the better way to put it is: "What will the (new tech) do, and how will the (new tech) accomplish it?"

>>39451 >Sorry if I sounded confrontational, No, not at all. :^) >I asked "why?" in an engineering sense, as a prelude to my point that the software isn't quite here yet for arms, so they would be useless outside of scripted events. Makes sense. >It's funny you said that, because "making sci-fi real" is basically the GreerTech ethos Nice. Godspeed to you in this. :^) >I'm glad you like her, that's a good sign for the future. I think everyone here likes dear Galatea, AFAICT. >And yeah, I do plan on adding upgrades in the future. >I want her to be cute and useful, to fundamentally change the world and human/robot dynamics, with the larger goal of changing human society itself. Glad you found /robowaifu/ and joined us here, GreerTech. Our goals all dovetail quite nicely! Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>39452 >I guess the better way to put it is: "What will the (new tech) do, and how will the (new tech) accomplish it?" That's what we're all here to solve, Anon. Forward.
