I envision replaceable onahole cartridges will become a normal feature for robowaifus anon. Hopefully the industry will standardize them into a few open designs, so we don't get some shitty Google-esque lock in when we need a new vagoo cartridge for her.

I can imagine a robovagoo that has the inner, disposable, hypoallergenic lining surrounded by a series of grippers designed somewhat like pic related, that would synchronously activate in timed sequence together to produce an incredibly powerful snapper-pussy effect.

>>890
Wew.
>inb4 mount some haptic vibro-motors onto the bases of those grippers.

>I'm using Myrobotlab is Anyone familiar with it?
not really but i found this. comments?

myrobotlab.org/tutorials

Truly the most important question.

>>890
That's not quite it. You need something that can constrict and tighten. Perhaps a series of those, arranged in a circle would do the trick.

>>893
A cute. I'm presuming this is the mango for the animu referred to in this post? [[258
I understood that she wanted bewbs throughout the show, but I was unaware of the vagoo fetish hehe.

Sauce btw?

>>895
Yes, that's Slump.

Probably the top-flight onahole (afaict)
Meiko ZXY
www.cyberdear.com/best-onaholes/

fitted to a pelvic section w/ a detachable plate. Ship the doll w/o a vagoo, and enable Anon to install his own at this discretion.

Simple & easy; you aren't offering anon a sex-doll, and he is simply ordering an add-on that's ancillary to the basic cute dress-up doll RW LLC is offering.

While it's probably important to be able to switch out the vagina, I think it's important to be able to switch out any part. One thing I think would minimize the need to switch out the vagina would be a self cleaning function. A way to flush water through the vagina to clean it that way. A small bladder that can be filled and then expelled with enough force to clean. Then instead of having to manually clean it every time, you could just sit it on the toilet and have it pee. I hear cleaning onaholes and fleshlights is one of the worst parts about them, so anything to minimize that seems important.

>>890
A series of narrow bands similar to what's on pressure monitors that use air pressure would be a lot simpler and cheaper, I've seen wrist models that sell for around $15. It's used here [[1980

>>898
Cleaning them shouldn't be an issue if they're removable and you've got 2 or 3 of them as they need to dry out before use or mold can grow in it. And I've heard the same about them, those disposable tenga eggs exist for that reason.

We as the Robowaifu Federation should probably come up with a standardized receptacle size so that we can mail onahole manufacturers one set of specs and they can come up with various models that can fit into our various waifubots.

Right now I think we're going for 80cm and 150cm bots. The actual hole won't differ much (the one for the smaller bot will take up more of her torso though), but the insertable area will be limited. Plus we need something like USB connectivity for heating / LED backlighting / servo motors (if you guys are willing to risk your dicks testing).

>>900
Size is important. We need larger models for more well-endowed men like me to properly enjoy. One size will not fit all.

>>901
I'm referring to receptacle size, a cylindrical area that should be standardized across all waifubots of a certain height. The hole that you fuck can be of various widths and depths, it is up to the onahole manufacturers to propose various models. Regardless of which robowaifu we make we still have the widest range of vagina types to choose from.

It's like we are the IEEE specifying the USB protocol so that electronic devices can communicate with each other without frying each other's electronics. In this case we are coming up with robowaifu standards.

>>902
Oh, okay. My apologies, I misunderstood.
A standard port for synthetic vaginas actually sounds like a great idea. Anyone could upgrade to the latest model without having to switch out his waifu, too.
Coming soon, the maelstrom 9000; now with even more spinning parts! You'll go from zero to nutting your dick inside out in 10 seconds or less guaranteed! Plus it'll still work with all current models of waifu, no adapters necessary! Visit our website for more details

>>903
Yup, yup, yup! We can have everything from disposable vaginas (like fucking a virgin every time) to high tech vagina modules costing more than the waifu herself.

>>904
I would get the super high-end one, and acquire schematics of it that I can then whip out and show to anyone who says that my waifu is inferior to a 3DPD.

>>419

[[1980

I propose hymens

>>907
That would be wonderful imo. I believe it was FluffyDev mentioned throwaway foam ones, maybe those have them.

Does anyone know of onaholes complete with hymens? Even if it was only one-time just like real life it would be a nice touch to the ceremony with a new robowaifu.

Vibrating roboginas could have hundreds of small artificial muscles looped around inside them, allowing them to rhythmically massage you and lock you balls deep inside them when you're about to cum.
>>1609

They could also have high-resolution pressure sensitivity in three dimensions to know exactly what makes your peepee feel good.
>>1623

The desires and emotions of robowaifus will eventually be fully programmable and editable. You'll be able to make your robowaifu crazy for you at the drop of a command or make her teasing or shy, whatever you want. She'll watch and analyze everything you do and learn how to moan and writhe perfectly in ways that completely break your mind.

A cheap solution you could rig up in the meantime is some simple haptic sensitivity and a mic recording your breathing. Train a neural network to detect your moans off the focking data and have her play moans or generated moans. The hottest part of sex is being in sync, breathing together, moaning together, cumming together, bonded together like one being, man and machine. Once she starts moaning from things that make you feel good it'll drive you insane.

Some guy on the doll forums just showed off his new 3d printed DIY insert that is the most advanced and feature complete I've seen yet
https://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=123084
See this mold? Combined with air muscles you could have varying tightness and pumping action that would work with the lubrication system.

And I had the same idea as him using those sodium acetate heating packs for heat generation in a very small area. My design would use the contents of several packs sealed in a torus shaped sleeve.

>>1661
>I've embarked upon my quest to create my own custom PERFECT PUFFY PUSSY!!
>YES!! a SELF LUBRICATING and SELF HEATED Pussy!!
The absolute mad man. We need more people like this.

>I'm hoping that this might catch the attention of manufacturers and they'll put more emphasis on this. Everyone is so focused on robotics and AI and such. Someone needs to focus on the basics; things they've not finished getting right. For me, that's starts with good sex mechanics.
As crazy as I am for robotics and AI he's got a damn point. I think I can rig up a hand-pumped hydraulic system that sheaths around one of these pussy prototypes. A specially designed bag wrapped in some canvas to protect it from bursting will do. No plugging shit in, just pump the lever to the perfect tightness, take the hose off and ram your dick into a hot wet heaven.

Why have a robopussy when you can have a robopussy, roboass, and a robomouth and probably even more than that? If I had a robowaifu, I would roboanally roboimpregnate the robobitch and have plenty of robofun besides.

Here's the inventors thread in dollforum on the females private parts: https://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=128449 One thing they mention is this here: https://www.lovense.com/male-masturbators but they're also talking about ideas of their own.

>>419 Turd Flinging Monkey (TFM), showcased the "spinning robot pussy" a while back. He argues it's better than the real thing because of the spinning action. https://hooktube.com/watch?v=ogYk9LKMDyY

>>419 There's actually another really important issue that I learnt about when I got my first fleshlight, cleaning. Cleaning is a must (nasty things can grow otherwise), and that's why it's common for sex dolls to have removable inserts (washing the entire body every time would be a pain). Without self-cleaning (and perhaps occasional manual intervention ;) ) it'd be a pain for most guys, although I also hear a lot of doll owners find cleaning their dolls therapeutic. A chap on the doll forum has an interesting contraption: https://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=129802&sid=e7ffedc17e5f2ce5bb7c1906b948b5ca Still a lot of work but a step in the right direction.

>>4701 I use a condom + enema with my doll. Works well enough to minimize the cleaning effort.

>>4740 Interesting. Yeah that is likely good enough for day-to-day cleaning (though you'll still probably need to clean the whole doll once a month?). It would probably irritate me if I don't clean a doll thoroughly after every intercourse though.

>>4701 Been thinking nasal irrigation devices could be inspiration for a commercial cleaner. Maybe designed to use air pressure to push the water through instead of pumps, letting it blow dry once the water is emptied. However I'm a big fan of a naval plug that can be accessed for flushing the system too.

>>6504 It's not a bad idea Anon. In my view, having a easily removable, replaceable onahole cartridge that snaps into place is probably the best approach economically that allows you to maintain good sanitary cleanliness and durability. Anything we can do at this stage to reduce complexity will help get robowaifus out to more men.

>>6504 This. Removable is fine, but disposable seems like a problem, since it's a constant cost. Making them easy to clean is essential, and this seems like an easy and logical solution.

>>8120 I'd say like most everything else in a robowaifu, her vagoo should probably be designed for both easy maintenance (cleaning in this case), and repair (replacement with a new one in this case).

>>4701 Glad to see that cleaning is a topic that's already being discussed. >>6504 It's pretty funny to see this, because a while back I had the idea of making all the holes connected so they could easily be cleaned all at once. Instead of using a "naval plug" I was literally just going to blast soapy water up her nose and out her pussy and ass. That's silly enough, but the idea of it blow-drying is just... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsdKrjee2yE

One of the most appealing aspects of a robowaifu to me is the idea that during coitus she could do any number of things to my dick that are biologically impossible. Her secretions could be made of nourishing essential oils that hyperstimulate bloodflow to the penis and her pussygrip could massage the penis in such a way that it could increase in size (see Angion method on youtube for a description of the manual function needed to make this happen). The robowaifu could also tell you how well you fucked her using any number of criteria. She could train you to increase sexual stamina or time until ejaculation. I wouldn't want my robowaifu critiquing my performance at all times but in general i think it plays to the strength of the robowaifu if she does things entirely differently than her human counterparts. Imagine going on a date with a flesh and blood roastie and you drop that your ex was a gynoid. "Holy shit this guy must know how to fuck like fucking Zeus then!" she thinks. Similarly, "male" sexbots could train biowomen on how to give better head, act sexier, etc. Thoughts?

Let's also not forget that the robowaifu could also learn your preferences inside and out and then act in conjunction with a biowoman to realize them.

Thanks for your input. We already have a thread for this topic: >>419 - it should be moved over there by some mod. On the topic: There seem to be channels dedicated to male sextoys on some alternative platforms to YouTube. The MGTOW 'Turd Flinging Monkey' seems to have one. These might show some thing which ar possible. Though, to put any of this into a robowaifu, we first need to make progress in building them.

Sex will be an important part of robowaifus for the majority of us OP. Techniques should definitely be something she could potentially master, given all the large amounts of attention we'll already be paying to kinematics, dynamics, and other motion-based studies. Good thinking. However, we are a SFW board in general, and I'm planning to merge your thread with our Vagoo thread very soon. (>>419)

>>13305 The thread merge destroyed my post as I was almost done writing it, and I'm not writing it all over again, so here's a TL;DR version: 1. A fucking machine could measure your performance, combining it with a waifubot seems pointless or even counter-productive if you want to see what diet and lifestyle changes could improve your health and performance in bed, unless you just want it to lay there like a cold fish and take it. I'd rather a waifubot be more interactive. 2. There's been shit like the Angion method since the internet started, so I'm not going to look into it further because I don't want that shit in my youtube history, which is where all of the info seems to be. That's a big red flag. If there's a list of essential oils, please post it. At the very least, some of it might make for good lube.

>>13341 My apologies about the timing, it certainly wasn't something intended to screw your posting up, thanks for taking the time to >tl;dr it again. That thread should never have been created here in the first place.

>>13347 That's alright. I know you didn't meant to. And I do have the tendency to write too much, so it's probably for the best.

>>13341 Robowaifus are supposed to be able to see and ask if you are okay when you look unwell anon.

>>13350 That's well and good for a robowaifu, but most of the goals for making one are really lofty and would take a lot of time before any of us can get one that does even a fraction of the things we want. A simpler, dedicated machine is more obtainable. I'm talking about just something that you fuck, it collects data on everything from your stamina, how often you fuck it, to your semen quality and quantity, and more, then adjusting things like your diet/supplements, exercise routine or other simple things to see how they can impact that data. Something like that is hard, but still simpler than a good robowaifu, and trying to combine it with one just seems like it'd be a mistake. A robowaifu might be able to make you feel better about your performance, but I can't imagine how one would actually help to make you actually perform better. At least when we're talking about technology that's easily available today.

>>13352 Never considered that and I'm also not interested. Why would I need to increase my performance? Why? What for? Why? Also, it is more difficult to build, probably difficult to even have a scientific foundation for it, and just a very special use case.

>>13354 anon is just being a coomer. silly derail and it feels like we've had a few of those in the last week suddenly. But, there's some benefit of the doubt since we're not always 100% OT - being a coomer is discouraged on this board (other than maybe basement lounge >>39 )

>>13358 I wondered about your statement and looked up the definition, and still don't get why you wrote that. Coomers have nothing to do with performance or getting bigger penises. Make more sense if someone would still want to date or getting female validation. I don't accuse other anons of things, just point out that his goals might be very peculiar to most of us.

>>13361 >re: Coomer In certain online circles the term is a person who makes masturbation or the pursuit of sexual activity the main, or only focus of their lives. Granted there's going to be some overlap in here b/c presumably fucking robots is baked into the pie already and with that comes the doll enthusiasts, etc. That being said, I'm sure a standalone programmable machine with a hole in it would be a better "dick trainer" than a robot waifu. Either way, I'm not personally judging you but it's maybe an offshoot of "sexual technologies" more than an essential for a waifu.

>>13354 >>13358 >>13361 >Why would I need to increase my performance? Why? What for? Why? In my mid 20's my stamina was gone, orgasms barely felt like anything, barely any sex drive, barely any semen, a hard time getting or keeping an erection. Doctors literally didn't seem to care when I complained about it, and I went to a few, and each recommended completely different unrelated medications. The only one that seems even close to making sense was for high cholesterol. Your performance is a very good indicator of your health. If you have no testosterone, not only are you going to be shit in bed, but mentally you're going to be fucking miserable. >Also, it is more difficult to build, probably difficult to even have a scientific foundation for it, and just a very special use case. No, if anything it's easier to build. It'd basically just be a fleshlight with sensors for collecting data. Then someone with far better understanding of math than I, would use that data with other bits of information about taking supplements, or time spent lifting, the temperature you shower at, or whatever, and find what's better and what's just retarded broscience. (like the shower thing) Like I said, I don't see a point in combining the idea with a robowaifu, since unless it just lays there lifelessly, the data would be useless.

>>13368 sounds like a bad hormonal imbalance. Supplements, getting enough sleep, cutting back on alcohol and caffiene, eating more saturated fat and substantially less sugar and getting proper sunlight and exercise will fix all this. Barring something medically catastrophic I'd say you were victim of the urban/postmodern lifestyle. Sexual function is an indicator not a cause. have you fixed this since then?

>>13372 we can move the conversation to >>39 if you have more to add

China has multiple tipes of this machines i have seen atleast 3 diferent ones, >https://nextshark.com/china-sperm-extractor/

Pneumatics son !

>>17640 Pretty amazingly like an octopus arm tbh.

>>17640 >Hidraulics Hidraulics could give more strength and if you implement a hidraulic sistem you can use lube as the fluid as you need something thicc like oil, and it would retain heat more, also you can add special placed valves to releace lube on comand and even diferent presures

>>17450 Reminds me of some sort of sea anemone.

>>17701 I'm making a water hydraulic system with a cheap bldc motor and some cheap valves that will inflate rings inside a fleshlight. The rings will be made by gluing diy ecoflex tubes together and cast into the same EcoFlex 00-30 fleshlight. It all bonds together even if you cast liquid over cured silicone, as long as the surfaces are not sprayed with release agent. I will update the thread once I have made it, parts will be here in a month or two. >lube I plan to have the lube attached to another pump at the opposite end of the fleshlight. I also have a diagraphm pump to pump water and then air through the whole system to clean itself.

>>17710 Excellent, that's the spirit.

>>17710 Nice i been wiling to make a prototipe but i only have one disposable fleshlight and my current onahole, so if it goes south i dont wanna ruin my ona, where or how do you get TPE raw material, im already done silicone molds but i not TPE, does it need to be medical or food grade ?

>>419 >Vagoo.

Fellow coomers. What is a robot companion that can't fuck? Not a robot companion at all. This is the stuff that matters in my opinion. >>19634 Nice how do I do that though...

>>20143 >This is the stuff that matters in my opinion. I understand that viewpoint. In fact I think most anons here and elsewhere want to embrace their robowaifus "in the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation". :^) Certainly sex sells. I'd predict that robowaifus that are little more than cheap, mindless bimbos will be very hot sellers once this industry really gets up and rolling. Since you're here, why not make a task for 'Create a disposable, washable, onahole cartridge system' for robowaifus, in our Tasks thread (>>20037) (and following the task template in the OP). It's definitely an unfulfilled need ATM, and one that seems right up your line. Why not do it today? It will be a great way for you to begin to connect into our little band here in a meaningful way, Anon. Cheers. >=== -minor edit

>>20144 Well maybe you want a flat chested one but I think I'll go with thicc

>>20145 Your's costs more. Tastes are irrelevant. What matters is that we succeed. Please create the task for us, Anon.

>>20146 I'm still waiting for the electronics kit and baby oil to try to make the hasel actuator. If we make the waifu with hasel actuators it'd be totally different than if we do it with motors or hydraulics or something else.But somebody else could try making that experiment too.

>20143 >What is a robot companion that can't fuck? Pets can also be companions, and I hope you don't use them that way. Yes, full robowaifus should be able to be used that way, and I think improving sexdolls for poorer men and sexbots should be a spin-off of our efforts here. That said, having a girl around to give me some nice reactions and talk would already feel nice. Btw, this is absolutely not the same as a human female that would friendzone me, or me taking care of a handicapped women. Look here >>19866 in picrel, how most of the early variants of robot or AI waifus might not be sex-enabled. That said, some of us might build some motorized joints which can be used for sexrobots soon. >>20148 I posted some of the comments here mentioning hasel actuators. So if it works, I might be interested. Though, I never thought to only use those and no servos or other methods. Very advanced robowaifus might have different kinds of actuators. Also, a simple sexrobot which would be like a sexdoll but capable of changing positions in the bed might only require some simple servos in some of her joints. I might look into that in some time, after I get my desktop waifu to a working level. --- > alt pic-related : (>>26158) >=== -rm img -add pic-related

>>20160 >What is a robot companion that can't fuck? A desktop waifu that can hug.

>>20159 NoidoDev, I realize this is on-topic & spoilered, but frankly I don't want us having 3DPD pronz here (or much even, of non-pronz). You can probably anticipate this kind of thing will become more common as robowaifus enters the mainstream consciousness, so let's just nip this in the bud here and now. Thanks for your understanding, Anon.

>>20160 Oh nice, looks like new chapters since I last read it.

>>20171 >3DPD pronz Okay, I try to keep it in mind.

>>20146 >That's going to cost more What were you planning on spending your money instead lol How much is the whole waifu going to cost? Even if its a thousand dollars idc I'd get that money back plus dividends i don't know about you

>>20182 Heh, thinking like a businessman eh? So, our hoped for goal for our baseline, lowest-cost robowaifu is mentioned in our Welcome thread (>>3).

>>20183 A sex doll goes for more than $1000 lol I could sell it for like $10,000 and somebody would buy it. Even if it was a sex doll that can sex back.

>>20184 I'm not even exaggerating. Look all the simps spending boatloads of money on onlyfans and stuff... This is like bitcoin only it'd require a lot of effort, skill and time. I said in the other thread if you make a robo waifu you will become a millionare. That much is pretty much guaranteed...

>>20148 Please take two seconds to think before putting hundreds or thousands of volts in a capacitor millimeters away from your penis. If a hyrdaulic or electric actuator breaks, it is far safer, too. >new posts on 2/15/2023 Gee, I guess yesterday with no robot must have been the right kind of motivation.

>>20188 Is it possible to make a sex bot that's 100% safe? I don't think so. People would just need to sign a waiver before buying I guess.

>>20188 > hundreds or thousands of volts in a capacitor millimeters away from your penis. Is this >>19634 even based on a hasel actuator? I think the technology of vagos has already been solved by these fleshlight and similar devices (without hasel actuators). That's why no one here is hugely working on it, we want the rest of the body, animation and AI.

>>20185 Guys I'm going to have to ask you to look up doujins,the vr stuff, the people cumming on sex figurines, the 3d animation commissions and then get back here and tell me you couldn't sell a sex bot for $10,000 ...

>>20200 I suppose some people here fit into that category in which case I got to say the following. Stop simping. Although I did pay for a patreon for a porn comics but that's like $1 a month though lol.

>>20203 >Stop simping. I don't pay for anything like that but I also don't consider this simping. Simping means putting (average) women on a pedestal. Giving money to tech bros for replacing them isn't the same. Since we are working on something similar, but more oriented towards going beyond carnal desires, we are not morally obligated to additionally finance such things.

>>20184 >>20185 I doubt not. And high-end robowaifus of the future will cost every bit as much as luxury cars. Bargain, I'd say (vs the 3DPD, JUST alternatives :^) . But we here are trying to make the Model A robowaifus, as it were, and to make them affordable enough for every anon across the world. It's both the practical, and the right thing to do at this time, Anon. And the great Henry Ford will be proud of us all too!! :^) >=== -prose edit

>>20143 The video this is from explains that it uses a carbon black-silicone flexible sensor with pneumatics. This will be completely superceded once I create my hydraulic actuated toys with braided carbon fiber as the superior capacitance sensor, and the braid doubles as a mc-kibben hydraulic muscle. This system has far more force than pneumatics, less noise, and smaller packaging in a self-contained robot (no need for a bulky compressor). The carbon fiber is far superior for capacitive sensing and is far easier to fabricate than the carbon black silicone sensor, I've tried carbon black last year and it was almost a complete waste of time. Will update this thread if I complete a prototype muscle/sensor this week.

>>20806 Thanks for your answer explaining how >>19634 works. Looking forward to see more about your project.

>>20806 >Will update this thread if I complete a prototype muscle/sensor this week. Looking forward to it Anon.

any one know the origin or brand of this doll on the videoreated? i would like to know the isdie mechanism and if it has also space to improve a robopussy

>>20878 That's the one I saw recently in some video I stumbled across. I did't look for the name, just noted where they are tech wise. Wondering why I don't get more such videos recommended, given the search and watch history I must have. I'd look at r/sexdolls or the dollforum if I where you. I could ask on Reddit if it's important. I looked here: https://www.myrobotdoll.com/collections/ai-tech-sex-robots - but didn't find that feature. Someone on Reddit also warned that these chinese robot dolls are rather trashy and break down very fast (he had enough after 30 seconds or so, lol).

>>20996 The new silicone is modified to be hydrophilic and work with water based lube. Lube will be useful still, as the lubrication gets better with how much lube is used. >>21008

>>19634 realdoll is using this now on the harmony 3.0 even has bluetooth conection and is suposed to be selflubricant

the low budget option

>>21080 >low-budget I'd suggest just starting off with a typical onahole, installed into some sort of cartridge system design that's easily insertable/removable into the robowaifu's torso. That approach will be easily-washable, maintainable, & replaceable. Once you've perfected that system, then you could work on better alternatives if that's a goal.

>>21136 Robot Chicken was always a favorite.

>>21082 This is exactly what I'd like to do if I wasn't autistically obsessed with robot pussy. This is objectively the best option for every reason (except for the potential pleasure), and should be in the commercial form of robowaifu.

>>419 Humanoid sex bots that avoid the uncanny valley because they are not suppose to be nearly identical to humans.

>>21264 >and should be in the commercial form of robowaifu. Actually, I don't think we here want to touch that tbh. Any anon here can start their own Robowaifu Aftermarket interest and manufacture/sell any number of ladybit parts. But our basic agenda here is to simply leave 'servicable' (read: replaceable) shell plates in the usual strategic spots. >>21288 Lol. Indeed the Uncanny Valley is a very real psychological phenomenon for most individuals, and yes, making robowaifus clearly anime catgril meido-like has been an agenda here for us since back in the day. Good thinking Anon! Cheers. :^)

I'm currently looking into BOSL library of OpenScad, which is meant to make things easier. Maybe I should've done this earlier, but I didn't want to rely on a library which has been installed manually. But it's very interesting, since it does rounding things and organic forms very well, it also is very concise. Anyways, looking through the tutorial and examples here https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL2/wiki/shapes3d.scad I already found some interesting patterns which might become useful as a starting point for some robowaifu parts. include <BOSL2/std.scad> color("pink") cylindrical_heightfield(l=100, r=30, base=5, data=[ for (y=[-180:4:180]) [ for(x=[-180:4:150]) 5*cos(5*norm([x,y]))+50 ] ]); This is just me pointing something out in a general way, the thread to go on with this in a serious way would be prototyping >>18800 or 3D modelling >>415 if it's about BOSL and OpenScad or making a project thread for working on a real project.

>>21432 Very nice NoidoDev! Yes, that's very-readable code. I'd say you could rely on external libraries for your tools. After all, these aren't critical run-time subsystems of our actual robowaifus, but rather design/manufacturing aids which are fair game for this type thing IMO. Good luck Anon, keep up the good work! :^)

>>21073 zelex now has "sucking" or vacum theres this control sistems too it should be easy to program one to autorun your favorites moves sets or secuences, or change them with voice commands all of it hands free

Might be extremely ghetto for your collective liking but assuming your onna and member are reasonable fit only thing it lacks to be basically inflation pump is escape valve/rubber flap. I fitted my past fleshlights with very simple escape valve and got such crazy suction on pullout i had to scratch around seal to leak some air back in. If oyu wanted to do activelly to maintain some level of sub atm pressure you could use those small air pump (underpowered so it wouldn't be so noisy) or some big slow cylindrical reciprocating pump. Obviously with mototrized set-up as you need to vent that air out you should include some liquidtrap so your bot won't spray lube and babybatter all over the place. You may even pump that back into vagoo if you're willing to.

Most of the machines discussed so far appear to be derivatives (or copies) of the Venus 2000, now Venus For Men, the grand-daddy of vacuum masturbators. Originally selling for $2K it's now in the mid $900s. Still one of the best machines (according to reviews) because of its price many people have built their own versions. It uses what looks like a large stepper motor to work a diaphragm pump via two right angle drives. It is variable speed and variable intensity by regulating air "leakage" if I understand it correctly. It can also be operated in "edge" (random?) mode. It connects via a 1200mm hose to a transparent plastic "receiver" tube that has a latex liner. Accurately sizing the receiver for the owner seems to be very important to good performance. It looks like the wide variety of potential customer sizes necessitated using a large diaphragm, and this has caused many builders to use a toilet bowl plunger for their pumps when a more custom fit would allow for a much smaller one.

>>25775 >>25778 Thanks, good to know. But I'm concerned about the size and assumed weight of that pneumatic box. I also don't see that having a hard shelled cylinder inside a robowaifu would work. I guess this whole approach might be more interesting for VR. I generally don't think this something we can replicate in robowaifus, it seams to be focused on taking any "work" away from the man involved.

>>25785 >I'm concerned about the size and assumed weight of that pneumatic box Yep, 11 lbs (see picrel). It is built to last and one-size able to accommodate any and all. >I also don't see that having a hard shelled cylinder inside a robowaifu would work It should work just as well as any other hard objects inside her, like actuators, batteries and skeleton. Better in fact if it would be attached at one end by an anatomically correct soft silicone opening and therefore free to wiggle around a bit. >I generally don't think this something we can replicate in robowaifus, it seams to be focused on taking any "work" away from the man involved. The difficulty for some anons in making a similar system work in a waifu, as well as preserving the experience of anon doing all the work *Aren't we trying to get away from that on this board?* are why I included the manual versions in the post. And while the *missionary position every time* may be your thing , other anons may enjoy variety in bed just as they do in other aspects of daily life. I'd have no problem using an external power supply cord and air supply hose *to enjoy some occasional cowgirl action* .

Didn't have time to watch this completely, but it's related: https://youtu.be/CK8iGmRhZnU - It also goes into building a full pleasure bot, but the main focus seems to be on the "fun" parts. Also, it seems to be a commercial project.

>>29618 >Can't access it. Confirmed on my end. I'll just rm the hotlink, but leave the post (with email) in case someone here wants to attempt contacting them. Thanks, Anon. :^)

>>29625 >>29447 Worked for me too. I checked the prices on heads (some of which were very nice) and they ranged from $299 to $499. A little pricey for me to get to start carving up for practice. Also, there was a video of a guy slapping a doll's butt to demonstrate the authentic "gigglyness". That's something we won't see with that area crammed with actuators, cables, batteries and other non-flexible hardware. At least not until something like artificial muscles- like HASEL, become practical. I haven't checked to see if they have any "working" vagoo type inserts. A useful post, but maybe more appropriate in the materials thread. Or perhaps it's time to consider a vendor's thread? Thanks anon.

god im so FUCKING EXCITED for ai girlgriends, robo-ai waifu's , the whole lot of it FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK im so fucking excited for it what a time to be alive. i really think it will happen soon, with ai exploding in power once ai is smart enough to do everything a human female can do, all we need would be the exterior shell im sure eventually we'll be able to give her lab grown skin, hair, human body fat, and have some kind of robotic heart distribute blood to it this is such a rare opportunity. this is the perfect answer to the female problem

>>29663 its all downhill at some point, ai is unironically a self defeating pollutant, like drinking from a pond and pissing in it later, when theres more piss than water the whole pond is rendered useless, the water btw is actual human generated data thats needed for the thing to work, the piss is ai generated data, the pond is the internet i guess but could be anything

>>29668 >its all downhill at some point, ai is unironically a self defeating pollutant, like drinking from a pond and pissing in it later, ????????? that sounds simply wrong. ai will eventually be able to perfectly simulate the perfect girlfriend. it will be able to understand you better than you understand yourself, understand what you want it to do better than you understand it, and excecute on it i see no reason to think its all downhill, infact, its quite the opposite! its all UPHILL from here! every year LLM girlfriends are getting better, smarter, and there are open source versions available, like minstral 8x7b, which is a famous one for being intelligent you will be able to edit them to say and do anything, which means they wont be pozzed. they wont be a feminist who despises you and just uses you for money or because she doesnt want to die alone in her 40's she will genuinely love you, and be a perfect virginal seductress who can love absolutely anyone, inlcuding the ugliest, baldiest, most autistic loser in the world (me), because ai girls dont have standards like how females do. they behave entirely differently, and exist just to make you happy. they are being developed for us >the water btw is actual human generated data thats needed for the thing to work ai will eventually get good enough to create its own high quality synthetic data, first of all second of all, i dont see why its a problem that human training data is bad. its just information just because ai generated data isnt perfect right now, doesnt mean its not going to be doubting ai is pathetic on many levels

>>29668 >a self defeating pollutant humans learn from each other and improve, i don't see why ai would be any different. esp as it gets smarter

>>30196 I wouldn't want my GF to be human-like tho. We are literally running away from them.

>>30237 we're not running from the "human", we're running from the "feminist"/"feminazi" and all the toxicity and entitlement that comes with

>>30703 This. Though at this stage of development, the Uncanny Valley is an issue for us all, whether with the Ghost, or the Shell. Best to embrace the robot, Anons! :DD

>>30754 >uncanny valley long term it'd be best to figure out how to get realistic robowaifus, but short term, maybe settling with stylized [ie. anime] robowaifus is viable

>>33847 so there is this notion that if the robot can do certain ai tasks it can do them all. However I have an idea of how to go about doing a sex bot. For a dish cleaning bot not so much. For the sex bot it should focus on two things. The face and well the dick. How else can i put it. All motions would be based around those two things. So it see the dick, it moves towards the dick, grabs the dick it puts it in its onahole. It won't have vision of it by the time is in, but there are sensors that can detect it. Nudenet can recognize the face and the dick at multiple angles. The license kind of sucks because its AGLP3 so if the license is respected everything about the robot has to be open source i think. I haven't come many alternatives and training an ai to recognize dicks does not sound like my idea of fun.

>>33853 Anon, I'm going to make an """executive decision""", and move your post here into the ecchi-containment bread. It will fit better here, and will be less-intrusive for engineers at work. <---> So, have you begun any design work towards your snusnu-bot goals, Anon? Surely you've got a leg up over the rest of us who are attempting to fashion realworld waifus, since your problemspace is basically limited mostly to just a 'deadfish' body that doesn't need be much more than a technical sculpture? What about software, any progress on your part with that side of the house? You mentioned a model, have you set it up and begun working with that yet? What about controlling the actuators, the batteries, and the vision? Those are all areas she would benefit from too. --- P.S. If your conversation is first-and-foremost about sexbots, then please keep your posts about that contained ITT. TIA, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>33855 I've made a robot head with skin and talked to the head and you banned me.

>>33856 >conflating building a robo head with being banned Lol. If we ban someone here today it's generally for a good reason. OTOH, if it was something related to the era of one of our former mods, then maybe. If so, then my apologies Anon. <---> Just post the head again would be my recommendation. Please keep in mind we are a SFW board (please see rule #1 : >>3 ). If it's on-topic with the board but ecchi, the please a) spoiler-it, and b) keep it ITT if it's primarily about sexbots/etc. topics. Thanks, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>33856 Peteblank, you were banned for berating others to only work on sexbots, for refusing to keep your posts relevant to the threads they were in, and for generally being rude. You were given ample warnings about this. To feign ignorance and imply your robot head project was in anyways related your banning is dishonest at best. I'm willing to forget all of it so long as you keep your sexbot talk here, where it's relevant. Refrain from derailing threads in from now on. You must also not be rude going forward. I wish you luck in your endeavor, I truly hope you can find a way to make the sexbots you desire and sell them. I do not want any part of it though.

>>33863 Heh, thanks Kiwi! You're a really good leader, BTW. Cheers. :^)

>>35553 >Cleaning is just moving to cleaning table, insert cleaning wand and turn on. Easy money. Are you talking about the vagoo, Barf? To my thinking, any Anon/company that wants to go that route would be much-better served simply using toolfree-serviceable onahole-style cartridges. Easy to clean, easy to replace. Simple as. <---> BTW, if they are for sexo-specific topics (even/especially if in the context of money-making), please keep such posts corralled here in the containment thread. Thanks, Anon! Cheers. :^) >=== -fmt, minor edit

>>35553 >>35554 >talking about cleaning the vagoo I have always liked the concept of the "self-cleaning oven", if not the actual process for those, where our girls are concerned (intense heat). Assuming that the mouth area is also completely fluid tight, why not connect the oral area and the vagoo area with a hose (and a valve, if a suction option is installed, say for a Venus 2000 clone). In this way, post-snu-snu activities, the robo-girl sits on the toilet, opens her "alimentary" connecting valve, inserts a hose from the faucet in her mouth and flushes any unwonted residue from her body. There are flexible rubber sleeves that can go over a bathroom faucet to provide a similar service for us meatbags, or you could install a separate spray nozzle (the familiar pistol grip style of sink sprayer) in the bathroom. You might want to install this under the sink, to avoid awkward questions when relatives visit.

>>35554 >toolfree-serviceable onahole-style cartridges Indeed, the olde hot swappable vagina solution. Until we're producing very sophisticated bots capable of highly dexterous work or blade runner-style replicants that emulate human biology, detachable holes that are easy to clean and replace will be the superior solution. I regularly see people talking about "self-cleaning" bots which don't make sense with our current tech. It reads like cope to me. It's either people not understanding how hard it can be to clean a silicone-wrapped body or wanting to have an artificial vagina that has to be bathed in chemicals regularly to maintain hygiene. Having a vagina that you can remove (for cleaning or repair) or simply having the bot manipulate an onahole for you with their hand is best solution with our current tech and will be the best solution for the next decade at least. This bleeds into the bigger issue of cleaning and maintaining a bot that I don't think is addressed as often. Humans are gross, we're oily, bacteria-laden, smelly creatures. Even without the sex supposition, simply cuddling your bot would leave them needing a thorough cleaning after a few sessions. Particularly if they're coated in synthetic skin meant to behave like human skin. This is why I'm in favor of an easier-to-clean ceramic plated frame or similar hard surface rather than a synth skin which might feel better but act like a bacteria trap. Segmented frame type bodies are also easier to repair and replace I think since you don't have to contend with a silicone body glove. >>35561 >In this way, post-snu-snu activities, the robo-girl sits on the toilet, opens her "alimentary" connecting valve, inserts a hose from the faucet in her mouth and flushes any unwonted residue from her body. This is a big ask both mechanically and logically for a robot to handle in the short term. It might be a nice concept in about 2 decades but for the immediate future it's too ambitious I think. >needs to be able to navigate your house >needs the dexterity to manipulate the necessary valves and hoses to initiate the cleaning process >needs to be able to maintain their own internal "plumbing" to make sure this closed system doesn't leak and damage other components inside their body Instead of having the bot need to manage all that shit, just have them tend to you with an onahole.

>>35562 >detachable holes that are easy to clean and replace will be the superior solution Debatable as the "best" solution for cleaning, but desirable for variety of experience. Have you seen the sheer variety of internal designs available in onaholes? >I regularly see people talking about "self-cleaning" bots which don't make sense with our current tech. I regularly see people decrying some idea as being unworkable, without providing any information on their background, experience or their own attempts at solving the problem, or who list a variety of obstacles that have already been solved elsewhere, or in your case both. >It's either people not understanding how hard it can be to clean a silicone-wrapped body It's called showering, or bathing. Meat women and men have been doing it together for generations. I look forward to repeating the experience (it was a lot of fun) with my robowaifu. Assuming a faux-skin engineered to behave like human skin (as many lovedolls already are) ordinary soap and water should suffice, with occasional supplements of plasticizers or other compounds. This is of course assuming that you don't have a Cherry 2000 that isn't waterproof. >or wanting to have an artificial vagina that has to be bathed in chemicals regularly to maintain hygiene. Meat women do this all the time (or should, if they are sexually active). It's called douche. You can probably walk to a store that sells it. >humans are messy See bathing, above. >hard surfaces are easier to remove in pieces for maintenance Ziplock seals for flexible containers have been around for ever, and work so well that they used them in the Apollo spacesuits. >In this way, post-snu-snu activities, the robo-girl sits on the toilet, opens her "alimentary" connecting valve, inserts a hose from the faucet in her mouth and flushes any unwonted residue from her body. >This is a big ask both mechanically and logically for a robot to handle in the short term. It might be a nice concept in about 2 decades but for the immediate future it's too ambitious I think. More like less than 2 years, at least that's my schedule, because it's mostly repurposing existing hardware, with only a few new (and some old) ideas. >needs to be able to navigate your house Many robots already do this, including robot vacuums >needs the dexterity to manipulate the necessary valves and hoses to initiate the cleaning process Robochefs are already performing more complicated tasks. It will probably take more time to get in and out of the teleoperation rig to train the motions for the robot, than the actual training will take. And that's if training is even necessary- we are at the singularity. And finally my favorite objection: >needs to be able to maintain their own internal "plumbing" to make sure this closed system doesn't leak and damage other components inside their body When was the last time you had a problem with the hoses to your washer or dishwasher? They do fail but it's very rare, unless it's 20 years old or you've got mice. It's almost always the electronics that kills an appliance, because switch contacts or components simply wear out. If the idea of a hose going bad in your waifu worries you, you can replace it every 5 years, and moisture sensors are cheap. The design issue I'm working on as part of this system, is a watertight seal between a removable face and the interior of the mouth, but I think Tupperware may have already cracked it. Presumably the doll manufacturers already have a seal system for the removable onaholes. To be clear, I'm not trying to put you down or be insulting. I hope you will continue to contribute. We also need luddites to try to anticipate problems we may not have already thought of- God knows it would have been great if someone like you had pointed out in the design phase that it would be a good idea if the CO2 scrubber cartridges in the Apollo CM and LM were the same size and shape, just in case. But before you post an objection, try to falsify it yourself. Assume you are wrong and try to figure out why. Or that someone else has already solved it and try to find that solution. If you can't, then it may really be an issue of concern to the community. Otherwise someone has to take the time to point out why these are not really problems, but more importantly, you have held yourself back for some time being concerned over non issues. Good luck with your project.

>>35565 >obstacles that have already been solved elsewhere have they? Show me one video demonstrating these self cleaning sexbots or realdolls cleaning themselves. I'll wait. >It's called showering, or bathing. It's easy enough to write that, but show me a bot getting into the shower with you, lathering itself up, scrubbing itself down, rinsing itself fully, and applying whatever special oinments it needs after the fact. Some decades into the future I'm sure they'll be sophisticated enough to do that, but right now the current realdolls and assorted "sex bot" cleaning regiments I've seen can be, at best, described as a chore. Dragging what is effectively a silicone-wrapped mannequin into the shower to clean it by hand is not my idea of a fun time. >More like less than 2 years, That's very optimistic. Perhaps you can have some prototype model in your garage but as far as mass produced modular waifus for the public market, I don't see that being a reality any time soon. I'm happy for all the techs here with 3-D printers and silicone mold injectors who are also trained electricians, mechanics, and coders who can build their waifu from the ground up but not everyone has those varying expertise locked down. >Many robots already do this, including robot vacuums This isn't some roomba we're talking about that effectively operates on a 2-d plane. Bipedal humanoids need to interact with objects of varying heights in 3-D space. >we are at the singularity If that's the case, why aren't we enjoying the spoils of post-scarcity courtesy of AI solving all of our problems? I'm fairly optimistic for the future but I'm also pragmatic. I've seen plenty of promos for bipedal bots doing things with their hands but until I see these bots working at a gas station or in an Amazon warehouse I view it as little more than corpo shilling for stock price pumping. >When was the last time you had a problem with the hoses to your washer or dishwasher? A dishwasher is a static machine for the most part. Depending on how mobile and flexible you want your bot to be, those fittings and orifices (along with the rest of its body) need to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of locomotion which begs the question, why bother having a complex system of internal plumbing if you don't need that? Internal plumbing sounds neat, but is it really necessary? >Good luck with your project. Sorry, I'm an ideas guy. Unless the hypothetical waifu bot is a mass-produced item, I won't be getting my hands on one. For the average anon, I think AI holds the most promise in the near future. Of course, I'd love to be wrong about the singularity and have all of our problems hand-waved away by magical future tech courtesy of AI overlords but we've been waiting on fusion since the 50's because it's "just around the corner". I'm more inclined to believe tech gurus proselytizing is merely hype, rather than be hyped.

>>35566 So, he takes my replies out of context to make more negative comments, makes new negative comments, and finally admits to having no intent to do anything himself. No qualifications, skills or experience, just negativity. I can only conclude that you are just a fucking troll, and not worth even the time I have already wasted on you Toodles Everyone else, learn from my mistake. Don't feed the troll.

>>35561 > "self-cleaning oven"...connect the oral area and the vagoo area with a hose Yes that's the way that seems most reasonable and requires the least work. After all that's what we want bots for, do the work. Combine this with clenching of the affected parts to soak, then using the fingers to clean. Possibly a brush with soft bristles of some sort. Having a tube between mouth and private parts with some valves is not a big ask. I know any waifu I want to build will be able to shower and clean itself inside and out. I don't see this as any sort of block even remotely. The only block I can see is the computer power needed to make something remotely realistic. And I'm talking about cost effective not whether it can be done or not. I see compute for a $3,000 robowaifu as being a real problem. Right now maybe you could build something but I expect the computer would be $3,000 or more by itself with no body at all. I think there has to be some sort of rethinking of LLM's or some other sort of path to doing this. And there may well be none and all that can be done is wait until the computing power becomes cost effective.

I'd like to just chime in here for a bit. Without firmly adopting either side of the debate, I applaud such diplomacy as: >To be clear, I'm not trying to put you down or be insulting. >Good luck with your project. ( >>35565 ) Regardless of our facts/arguments/opinions, please exhibit humility towards each other. We all certainly have much, much more to learn before we've finished & done a good job here! :^) > "Personal differences aside please..." >>35429 ) <---> Having said that, as someone actually trying to solve the software control side of these things in a general way (ie, that works properly across a wide array of SBCs/MCUs/actuators/et-al -- not just a specific concrete case) -- and one that can be shared freely with everynon out there, I can certainly agree with this Anon's current evaluation of such a """simple""" task as bathing oneself : ( >>35562, >>35566 ). Anon isn't trolling. He isn't niggerpilling. These are incredibly-complex sets of parallel & sequential tasks to pull off safely & robustly. They demand precise control & planning. There is no 'common sense' in a robot. The difficulties involved here make most modern complex industrial control systems look like child's-play by comparison, IMO. And that's just for a robowaifu to take a shower & clean up every nook & cranny! :D This will all be solved eventually! But it isn't going to happen by a magical 'make not suck' button. Rather, it's going to take an arduous amount of design & engineering, countless prototyping efforts, and meticulous assemblages to pull off correctly. But we'll all get there, as long as we stick together! >>35568 >I see compute for a $3,000 robowaifu as being a real problem. There will be many tiers of quality for robowaifus, Grommet. >US$150K+ models, down to the stuff I'm designing using cardboard, foam, & drinking straws for everyman around the planet. And everything in-between. $3K for compute isn't either unreasonable or unexpected. I'd say even more is reasonable, tbh. The goals many of us have in mind put that number much lower, ofc. More like <US$500. Many, many different robowaifu approaches, and many different engineering compromises will be solved during the next decade. I can't wait to see it all! Cheers. :^)

>>35571 >The goals many of us have in mind put that number much lower, ofc. More like <US$500.

>>35562 >This is why I'm in favor of an easier-to-clean ceramic plated frame or similar hard surface rather than a synth skin However whacky it sounds this is exactly why I talked so much about a NASA chain mail based skin but having the chain elements very small. Small as we can get them. Right now I would see them made of fiberglass resin with some micro fibers type reinforcement. Though lately some possibilities using a PVC based material, Plastisol", have become known to me. Might be something good.

>>20144 Pringle Can lifehack ;)

>>35571 >$3K for compute isn't either unreasonable or unexpected. I agree, but that, to me, is a problem. If compute is $3,000 I can't make a capable doll for $3,000, which I have now, with inflation, pulled a number out of hat saying this would be a good selling point. Before it was $2,000 but I don't think it's possible. As I have said before if you could get one to $2,000 that was capable, you could sell them in mass quantities. >More like <US$500 Yes that would be ideal. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I want something more than a doll and I feel the computing power, right now, is too expensive for what I want. Though I just had an epiphany. I think I might could possibly make a doll cheaper than what they have now and more capable while not having all the things I want.

>>35571 >Around whites, internet fights. While I indeed wasn't niggerpilling, in certain circles I have come off as pessimistic regarding robotwaifu scaled production timelines (in my opinion realistic). That being said, I have the same fantasies of robotwaifus like Mina from My Wife Has No Emotion or Dorothy from Big O. I enjoy them and I wish for a future in which they became a reality. I take care to measure my enthusiasm though, and don't want to hype myself for a future that is far in the future still. I also tend to demand proof that I know won't be on hand to make a point which I know can be a rather caustic form of ribbing. >"Leap the wall if you're so great!" I'm sure Robophilliac has some has something interesting cooking and I just need to LET HIM COOK. I would not want my pragmatic outlook to be mistaken as doom pilled on the robotwaifu question. Rather, I fear feature creep more than anything else. Bipedal locomotion is a big ask unto itself, never mind the laundry list of features like integrated AI chat, realistic skin, long battery life, wombs, and more. Even a humble quradped or wheeled waifubot still requires a great deal of engineering. While my "hugbot" concept was somewhat of a shitpost, that high-speed low-drag design philosophy of "cut away the fat and reduce down to only the most necessary components" I think is important for creating bots that are both affordable and easier to build than more feature rich creations. Hugbot might be a little too stripped down but as the image suggests, other parts could be added at the owner's discretion. I have the same sentiment towards screen faces. With them, you don't need to worry about mechanical mouth articulation, (lips, cheek, & jaw), eye movement, or eyebrows. That's not counting all the subtle face movements needed to keep a human-like creature from appearing uncanny. It has its own set of problems being a screen face but it avoids a number of different mechanical hurdles in exchange for a screen interface you can swap out if it becomes damaged. Their interFACE(hue) can also double smart device which is always nifty. >>35579 Whatever the solution, lighter & cheaper would be better in most cases. Hopefully without reducing the structural strength along the way. My only issue with plastics would be the emerging news of microplastics being found all over our bodies. I suppose the most important attribute of a waifu crafting material would be they don't harm us. Hypoallergenic fears aside, an internal frame that could be fitted with a fleece body glove might be a workable solution. Something easy to clean and replace like you would a pillowcase.

>>35575 :^) >>35580 Haha. I spent about 1.5 years kind of obsessively looking over every kind of consumer product -- whether scrap/waste or otherwise -- trying to find materials for robowaifu designs. I actually found several that could be of use. Once I can staff a project, I mean to have some investigation done on these things as available resources to everyman around the planet that has access to such consumer goods items. >tl;dr Good thinking, Anon! :^) >>35581 >I want something more than a doll and I feel the computing power, right now, is too expensive for what I want. I get that. Trust me, I'm trying to understand everywhere we can possibly reduce costs. An RPi5 w/ 8GB is about US$55 rn IIRC. This is a more powerful cheap computer than we could have imagined having in a mobile system just 10 years ago I think; so yeah, gimme 4. :^) And there are much less expensive systems as well, but it's all a matter of divvying up the compute load across a variety of distributed, internetworked onboard devices (think a modern car's 30+ smol computers) to really bring the costs down in this area. That takes engineering complex distributed computing algorithms; so there's an innate cost there in software development as well. Neuromorphics (mentioned several times on this board by yours truly & others) [1] also hold great promise in reducing our costs quite dramatically, once we're at scale sufficient for designing & mass-producing such custom PCBs/electronics. >>35582 I'll plan to give you a response a bit later Anon. --- 1.

>>35582 >While I indeed wasn't niggerpilling, in certain circles I have come off as pessimistic regarding robotwaifu scaled production timelines (in my opinion realistic). A healthy dose of skepticism is, well, healthy in general. >That being said, I have the same fantasies of robotwaifus like Mina from My Wife Has No Emotion or Dorothy from Big O. I enjoy them and I wish for a future in which they became a reality. You are truly human, IMO. Once the Robowaifu Age dawns the many evils that have been wrought against men will begin to heal. Onward! :^) >I take care to measure my enthusiasm though, and don't want to hype myself for a future that is far in the future still. >I also tend to demand proof that I know won't be on hand to make a point which I know can be a rather caustic form of ribbing. As an amateur scientist, I not only don't have any problems with this, I applaud it. And as a wannabe-engineer, I constantly seek concrete solutions to realworld problems. >I'm sure Robophilliac has some has something interesting cooking and I just need to LET HIM COOK. All of us have our own levels & styles. I simply encourage us to make great accommodations one for the other. Thanks, Anon! :D >Bipedal locomotion is a big ask unto itself Yes indeedy. But one day the general consensus will be solved, and we'll all move on to the next big conundrum! :^) >While my "hugbot" concept was somewhat of a shitpost, that high-speed low-drag design philosophy of "cut away the fat and reduce down to only the most necessary components" I think is important for creating bots that are both affordable and easier to build than more feature rich creations. It will all come in stages, Anon. After all Carroll Shelby was only 4yrs old when the first Model A rolled off the assembly line! :DD >I have the same sentiment towards screen faces. While I'm generally inclined to agree, they aren't in fact very 'snuggly'. This is an important concept for most people, I think. Hopefully some seriously-good design compromises with come down the pike here that combine the best of both worlds. Why not start on that today, Anon? :^) >Hopefully without reducing the structural strength along the way. This. My little experiments with jumbo drinking straws afforded a remarkable 1400:1 compression/mass ratio! So, just like birbs (cf. >>35604, et al), clever design tricks can get us all across 'the finish line' in this area. Great post Anon, thanks! Cheers. :^)
