Robot waifus are all part of the grander transhumanism question. This question was posed before on /pol/ and they will not touch it (they're afraid of being called a faggot by their super cool friends I guess). If a human male can completely abandon their physical form and replace it with an aesthetically female robot form or a gynoid body that is biologically 100% female while retaining their original male mind, is it gay to have a relationship with them? Similarly referred to as the bowsette proposition, I would argue it's not gay, at least from the perspective of the guy enjoying the ostensibly female form.

>>30593 Did you come from that nigger hate robowaifu thread? I think we'll need to move on from human assumptions when we start living in a world where that doesn't matter. We are already grappling with what is considered "sentience", "consciousness" and "humanity" in a time when AI is starting to show signs of them too. I think I'd look at it through the lens of just having another experience. Part of what attracts me to stuff like FDVR or transhumanism is that we'll experience things that we otherwise never would have, in our meatbag bodies.

OpenAI/GPT-2 This has to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in deep learning and AI so far. It's extremely skilled in developing coherent humanlike responses that make sense and I believe it has massive potential, it also never gives the same answer twice. >GPT-2 generates synthetic text samples in response to the model being primed with an arbitrary input. The model is chameleon-like—it adapts to the style and content of the conditioning text. This allows the user to generate realistic and coherent continuations about a topic of their choosing >GPT-2 displays a broad set of capabilities, including the ability to generate conditional synthetic text samples of unprecedented quality, where we prime the model with an input and have it generate a lengthy continuation. In addition, GPT-2 outperforms other language models trained on specific domains (like Wikipedia, news, or books) without needing to use these domain-specific training datasets. Also the current public model shown here only uses 345 million parameters, the "full" AI (which has over 4x as many parameters) is being witheld from the public because of it's "Potential for abuse". That is to say the full model is so proficient in mimicking human communication that it could be abused to create new articles, posts, advertisements, even books; and nobody would be be able to tell that there was a bot behind it all. <AI demo: talktotransformer.com/ <Other Links: github.com/openai/gpt-2 openai.com/blog/better-language-models/ huggingface.co/

xAI (Elon Musk) just released the weights for their 314B parameter model Grok-1 (3.14 kek) as a torrent under a free Apache license. It's the raw model, without any fine-tuning, so it's capable of generating arbitrary (uncensored) content. This is significant because, alongside Meta's Llama models, Musk is trying to break the stronghold of big tech (OpenAI) who would only let you rent access to their proprietary models running on their servers, making you pay for each token and recording every single interaction. https://twitter.com/grok https://academictorrents.com/details/5f96d43576e3d386c9ba65b883210a393b68210e

Dolls, Dollmaking Techniques, and Their Use for Robowaifu Construction Greentext anon 01/16/2024 (Tue) 05:14:05 No.28514 [Reply]
Dollmaking is an ancient art, dating back as far as recorded history. Throughout these many years, dollmakers have invented and innovated at a steady pace, making each doll just a little bit better than the last while still leaning on tried-and-true techniques. This thread is here to discuss those techniques, and other relevant aspects of the doll world (including mannequins and marionettes) which we can apply to make our own waifus. One common example most of you may have seen already is the ball-jointed doll. However, there is more than one type. Higher-end BJDs commonly use elastic string to bind limbs to sockets in a method not too dissimilar to how tendons link our bones. There are also peg linked joints. where you (usually) have two hemispheres connected to eachother and connecting two seperate limb parts with pegs. There are also double-joints which work on the same basic principle. The attached images show both principles. Simple hinges are also quite the staple. They often have varying levels of tightness, depending on the application. A marionette, for instance, will typically have very loose hinges which allow for great ease of movement via user-operated strings. A system like that is quite easy to motorize, though one would want to consider how to get the limbs to stay in position without constant motor input. On the more complex end of things, some dolls feature endoskeletons, which allow for more realistic sometimes and complex poses. However, in addition to being more complex, these are much more expensive, fragile, and difficult to repair. While some of these things could be solved here, I doubt that a perfect solution is realistic at this time. It's good to keep in mind, though. Outside of basic frame components, there are also the details, such as the eyes. Glass eyes have the interesting effect of "following" the viewer without requiring any motors or electronics. Weight and cost are both important considerations, however, especially for a full-size waifu with anime doe eyes. Resin eyes are also quite popular, as ithey're easier to make at home. Wigs, of course, are also important to consider. I assume everyone here will want their waifus to have hair, and said hair will be easier to install (and detach for cleaning) if treated as a seperate component. They're usually kept in place with simple elastic, and I imagine it'd be easy to introduce magnets into the equation for better stability. What do you guys think about these concepts, and what do you have to add? It's a vast field, with plenty of potential uses for waifu making. Concepts from doll-adjacent items, such as action figures, plushbots, puppets, etcetera are also welcome for discussion.

Okay so I took time to look into how doll hair is made. Here is a few materials that get used beside synthetic fiber. Some of these if you used them on anything larger than a doll you are restricted to shorter hair styles because fiber length. >ramie fibers which comes from a plant >mohair >alpaca which a few varieties exist such as suri >yak hair >modal or lyocell which are semi synthetics >horse mane hair which this also is used in wig making Advantage of natural fibers is you can dye them using things like mushroom dye which is more biodegradable. Im not sure on semi synthetics like modal and lyocell if you can use that . I haven't seen it mentioned on any doll making sources just i happen to know of this textile dye. Ive also seen people using tea to dye the hair but Id think something like the same natural hair dyes people use may be better in some cases so long as they dont have ammonia and stuff like that in them to deal with. Other advantage being petrol based synthetics melt when burned which is a safety hazard because it can make burns worse this is why people doing welding wear natural materials in many cases.
>>30524 Thanks, I looked into this before: >>13862 - backlinked your posting from the materials thread. This is especially useful for guys who might have children or maybe just pets around. I doubt these plastic hair fibers are good to have around. The thing I found back then is using fibers made from banana plants, which are normally left to rot after harvesting the fruit and might even get in the way as some kind of slow rotting waste. This can allegedly be made into hair, though it was expensive back when I looked into it.
>>30528 A finished product like that will generally be more expensive than raw material you finish up yourself unless it is mass produced or only sold in quantities much larger than you need for raw material
>>30531 Okay, do you mean more expensive than the materials in >>30524? I have no idea. Human hair is of course the other alternative. It would be interesting to know what a pro's and con's of each material are. But it's not urgent to me. Generally the work being put into it if it's not a wig but part of the skull plate will be the biggest cost or effort.
>>30600 Yes though I havent checked prices for everything individually. Presumably at times the price difference is small between raw material and something already dyed, combed, flat ironed and fixed into pieces to attach or a weave while other times the difference could be magnitudes more. Human hair is quite expensive where top quality human hair of long length can land someone thousands of USD....unless you want to just hang out at a salon and ask for random women's hair lol Generally speaking natural materials often have antimicrobial properties. Pictured is ramie.

Yeah I like petite girls. >That is a notable psychological threshold. 120 to 133cm is a minimum acceptable height for many. >Especially if they're designed to look human adjacent, elves being a great example. Well it is height + body proportions if you are talking attraction. But it is not purely psychological but practicality for use case. You dont want a standing hug to lead to your legs being bound making you lose balance and awkwardly having to bend over for your arms to reach. Im fine with under 100cm depending on design and use intent. >>30607 I wasn't talking legality. Im over 6 feet tall. You might want to bring the legality discussion into meta. Id say own thread for it but there isnt many people on this board so it probably doesnt need to include every country out there.

Cognitivie Architecture : Discussion Kiwi 08/22/2023 (Tue) 05:03:37 No.24783 [Reply] [Last]
Chii Cogito Ergo Chii Chii thinks, therefore Chii is. Cognitive architecture is the study of the building blocks which lead to cognition. The structures from which thought emerges. Let's start with the three main aspects of mind; Sentience: Ability to experience sensations and feelings. Her sensors communicate states to her. She senses your hand holding hers and can react. Feelings, having emotions. Her hand being held bring her happiness. This builds on her capacity for subjective experience, related to qualia. Self-awareness: Capacity to differentiate the self from external actors and objects. When presented with a mirror, echo, or other self referential sensory input is recognized as the self. She sees herself in your eyes reflection and recognizes that is her, that she is being held by you. Sapience: Perception of knowledge. Linking concepts and meanings. Able to discern correlations congruent with having wisdom. She sees you collapse into your chair. She infers your state of exhaustion and brings you something to drink. These building blocks integrate and allow her to be. She doesn't just feel, she has qualia. She doesn't see her reflection, she sees herself reflected, she acknowledges her own existence. She doesn't just find relevant data, she works with concepts and integrates her feelings and personality when forming a response. Cognition, subjective thought reliant on a conscious separation of the self and external reality that integrates knowledge of the latter. A state beyond current AI, a true intellect. This thread is dedicated to all the steps on the long journey towards a waifu that truly thinks and feels.

>When writing and talking, people sometimes pause to think. Although reasoning-focused works have often framed reasoning as a method of answering questions or completing agentic tasks, reasoning is implicit in almost all written text. For example, this applies to the steps not stated between the lines of a proof or to the theory of mind underlying a conversation. In the Self-Taught Reasoner (STaR, Zelikman et al. 2022), useful thinking is learned by inferring rationales from few-shot examples in question-answering and learning from those that lead to a correct answer. This is a highly constrained setting -- ideally, a language model could instead learn to infer unstated rationales in arbitrary text. We present Quiet-STaR, a generalization of STaR in which LMs learn to generate rationales at each token to explain future text, improving their predictions. We address key challenges, including 1) the computational cost of generating continuations, 2) the fact that the LM does not initially know how to generate or use internal thoughts, and 3) the need to predict beyond individual next tokens. To resolve these, we propose a tokenwise parallel sampling algorithm, using learnable tokens indicating a thought's start and end, and an extended teacher-forcing technique. Encouragingly, generated rationales disproportionately help model difficult-to-predict tokens and improve the LM's ability to directly answer difficult questions. In particular, after continued pretraining of an LM on a corpus of internet text with Quiet-STaR, we find zero-shot improvements on GSM8K (5.9%→10.9%) and CommonsenseQA (36.3%→47.2%) and observe a perplexity improvement of difficult tokens in natural text. Crucially, these improvements require no fine-tuning on these tasks. Quiet-STaR marks a step towards LMs that can learn to reason in a more general and scalable way. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.09629

Actuators For Waifu Movement Part 3 Kiwi 12/06/2023 (Wed) 01:18:16 No.27021 [Reply] [Last]
(1stl thread >>406 2nd thread >>12810) Kiwi back again with a thread for discussing actuators to move your waifu! Part Three! Let's start with a quick introduction to common actuators! 1. DC motors, these use brushes to switch the ferrous core electromagnets on a rotor to rotate its magnetic field relative to surrounding magnets! They're one of the cheapest options with an average efficiency range of 30 to 90%. Larger DC motors and motors with higher turn counts are more efficient. 1.5 Coreless DC motors, by removing ferrous materials, losses from hysteresis are almost eliminated, dramatically increasing efficiency to nearly 90% even in small motors. Eliminating the ferrous materials reduces flux focusing, resulting in weaker fields and higher speeds. 2. Brushless DC motors (BLDC), these use a controller to switch the electromagnets on a stator to rotate the magnets of a rotor! Without brushes, they have the potential to be more efficient with higher power density compared to DC motors. Their efficiency and behavior vary depending on the algorithm and sensors used to control them. Coreless brushless motors exist but are rare and only used for very niche applications. 3. AC motors, a wide and incredibly varied category. They all rely on AC’s frequency to control them. With single phase AC motors relying on shaded poles, capacitors, or some other method to induce a rotating magnetic field. 3 phase AC motors naturally have a rotating field which usually gives them higher efficiency and power density. Notably, most AC motors are brushless. The most commonly used brushed AC motor is the universal motor, which is 4. Stepper motors, brushless motors with ferrous teeth to focus magnetic flux. This allows for incredible control (stepping) at the cost of greater mass, subsequently giving them higher rotary inertia. Usually 50 to 80% efficient depending on control algorithm/speed/and quality of the stepper. Due to their increasing mass production (& ubiquitous low cost controllers), they have appeal as a lower cost alternative to BLDC motors if one carefully designs around them. 5. Coiled Nylon Actuators! These things have an efficiency rating so low it's best to just say they aren't efficient. (0.01% typical, 2% achieved under extremely specific conditions in a lab.) Though they are exciting due to their incredible low cost of fabrication, they’re far too slow and the energy requirements are nonsensical. https://youtu.be/S4-3_DnKE9E https://youtu.be/wltLEzQnznM 6. Hydraulics! These rely on the distribution of pressure in a working liquid to move things like pistons. Though popular in large scale industry, their ability to be used in waifu's has yet to be proven. (Boston Dynamics Atlas runs on hydraulics but it's a power guzzler and heavy) Efficiency varies wildly depending on implementation. They would work great for a giantess! 7. Pneumatics, hydraulics lighter sister! This time the fluid is air! This has the advantage in weight. They aren't capable of the same power loads hydraulics are but, who wants their waifu to bench press a car? (Too loud and inefficient for mobile robotics.) 8. Wax motors, hydraulic systems where the working fluid is expanding melted (commonly paraffin) wax! Cheap, low power, and produce incredible forces! Too bad they're slow and hard to control. 9. Explosion! Yes, you can move things through explosions! Gas engines work through explosions! Artificial muscles can be made by exploding a hydrogen and oxygen mixture in a piston, then using hydrolysis to turn the water back into hydrogen and oxygen. None of this is efficient or practical but it's vital we keep our minds open! Though there are more actuators, most are derivatives or use these examples to work. Things like pulleys need an actuator to move them. Now, let's share, learn, and get our waifu moving!

>>30353 Yes, they're about 1~5% efficient, are slow, need high precision heat control, do not work in cold or hot environments without good engineering, etc... Though cheap and easy as crisps, they just have too many problems. I like them and wish they can be cheap and electroactive while requiring sub kV range voltages If you're interested, read papers published on them and try to make your own. There's plenty of room for improvements and I'd be grateful to have a viable alternative to heavy gear motors. PLA and plastic polymers based on it could be a great and cheap start to your research. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiOn-LqW4KI
>>30353 I don't know why I overlooked that, but some of us want to use water cooling inside, then store it and it might be used for muscles (e.g. nylon) which are just complementary. I also think small muscles might make sense in some places, e.g. the face. > SMP filaments Thanks, I'll look into it. >>30549 Interesting, especially with that video, thanks.
>>30549 Isn't that 1-5% just for one specific kind the kind of coiled nylon muscles or I may be getting mixed up. Though I came across info on why heat is a poor activator, it is faster to heat an object than cool it so it isnt exactly even how it operates. Doing more digging I just now came across solid state actuators which includes things such as ionic polymer metal composites which seemingly can operate at low voltage. Ive yet to figure out performance and possible use of them. Im not sure why they think only make a flat object instead of a design that can have pulling force like a cross pattern or something XXXXXXXXX but maybe it would be too weak to be of use? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1385894723027079 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1jkAQ-pBpU >>30557 Id question using water. My thought was using electric heating wires to control the SMPs but Im second guessing using SMPs that require temperature changes.
>>30578 >Id question using water. My thought was using electric heating wires to control the SMPs We had this several times during the years, not sure if something changed. If you have wires bending then they might break. I recall some video testing these actuators and the results simply weren't good. Good look anyways, but always keep in mind it has to work 10k*X times or 100k*X times.
>>30353 You are probably the same who posted it, I'm just linking it here: Silicone shape memory polymer >>30584 - Idk, maybe this will be interesting for smaller muscles, like in the face.

>>30573 > I don't get it, this here would be at room temperature or whatever temperature small cables have. Higher the temperatures the more rapid oxidation and it even starts at around 200°C. Also metal expands when heated so uneven wear may occur over time causing rough spots that in theory could lead to small arcing which also oxidizes. Oxidized copper is not electrically conductive. The risk is likely small just worth keeping in mind in design. > For adding a lubricant I would need to add a casing, which I will probably do, at least as an option. I meant all the wire connections presumably pass through same hinge which I didnt consider originally so these need isolated from eachother within the hinge.
>>30574 You somehow seem to not have understand the whole concept. Overlooked something or whatever the reason is. Again: - It doesn't get anywhere near 200ºC, there's no heat involved or not much, or I don't know about it yet. - The different pairs of disk would be insulated, I wrote that in my first posting on this design: "Each pair of discs should be out of metal, while there's a layer of insulation in between." It's also somewhat obvious from the design >>30545 that the light blue disks are for insulation.
>>30573 This a type of slip ring. A component that everyone should endeavor to become formiliar with. https://www.uea-inc.com/blog/what-is-a-slip-ring-and-how-does-it-work
>>30589 -Well yes, I was just giving a possibility. I don't know what kind of temperatures can be generated from a little friction but sure it likely isn't that high. -Yes I can see the insulation in your design. I was suggesting if you used a graphite lubricant it would need the insulation to be small walls to prevent the lubricant from bridging connections If you were to use it.
>>30590 >This a type of slip ring Thanks, I thought that someone must have come up with that idea before and I think I came across the term before or I even asked about my idea and got told about the term but forgot it. We really need to keep this in mind, since we can't just replace bending cables in a human-like robot body all the time, and also it needs to be reliable during operation. Think especially about the hands, how much they move and bend. I can't imagine a cable lasting long in there.

>>30312 You're being too dismissive. Especially given that the robot is likely rooted to the ground or on a test stand, it really isn't moving unbelievably smoothly.

>>30317 I don't think so. It's the lighting. Something feels off about it that it just looks CGI. Though it is also possible a lower frame rate like used in cinema and some post editing might be making it look fake.

Also the movement is technically feasible as well, considering I can get some pretty smooth motion with just junky hobby servos (see attached), nevermind expensive ones. It is the cinematography that has me skeptical because the choices thereof makes it very easy to cover up any fakery. Unitree addresses this pretty well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8JMX6PGRoI) where they have a person drag the robot back and forth over the floor obstacles, and there is even motion blur on the robot so you know either a) it is real or b) they really put in the extra subtle effort with their faking. Unitree does seem a bit sped up tho but that could just be me.

>>30497 >Ideally, I'd want a bot capable of full locomotion. Capable of cooking, cleaning, and simple tasks around the house. Then get something functional to do that part. Doesn't even need to look like a human, or only be one bot. Something like Stretch makes more sense, though it's overpriced but will get cheaper: https://spectrum.ieee.org/hello-robots-stretch-mobile-manipulator - You can also get a Thermomix and something like a Roomba, or work on cheaper variants of these robot arms doing cooking, maybe with some design from Skyentific on Youtube. The robowaifu can be separate and optional.
>Seems like wasted energy to try to bend things against their intended use instead of reworking them to actually primarily serve the intended purpose. At present, I would agree. Even the most sophisticated AI from Open AI/Claude with biggest context windows are still little more than very complex random number generators. While I enjoy delving into RPs and having them help me with writing and other tasks, the truth is they're not sentient and they're design doesn't lend them to being used as on board robot waifu AIs. At least not yet. The tail end of my fantasy ended in us hitting the exponential AI curve where the AI improves on itself faster than we can. I don't think we'll get that lucky before 2030, I gave it a 1 in 10 chance. Still, one can hope. >full dive meme This leans more into the pie-the-sky stuff, assuming we hit the curve and then somehow manage to get into the singularity after the fact. I can see us no longer needing our crude biomass at that point but I highly doubt we'll get full dive or anything equivalent to that within my lifetime. >This (cyberpunk dystopia) isnt something to hope for. Again, I would agee, but it's what I've come to expect living on this plant for at least 30 years. The occams razor of "will people do what is right for society at large or will they be greedy and self serving?" is the question I see. You only need a handful of people taking the more selfish route in the socital prisoner's delmia to turn the world into a complete shithole. While the cyberpunk dystopia isn't what I'm hoping for, I'm afraid its what we're going to end up with in the end. >Well there are several open source home assistant programs currently to look into. Nothing has made enough noise yet to really get my attention. I'm optimistic for the future though, cyberpunk dystopia or otherwise. >>30508 I'd brought up before in thread long ago that a quadruped bot might be better insofar as not having to account for bipedal movement.

That's what I'm looking for. If the project was more closely related to robowaifus in any way then I'd share the details of it in full. >>30444 The patent used vacuum tubes because it is old.

>>30533 When filing a patent it is publicly viewable and any company can just copy whatever you made pretty much instantly and do it cheaper and you cant do shit about it because the costs and time involved in a lawsuit. The only way around it is if it is complex enough you dont need to patent it because it isnt easy to reverse engineer or if you have some company buy it from you right away. Well that is unless you only mean making it as a niche item hoping few notice it but just enough do to turn modest profit.

Waifu Materials Robowaifu Technician 09/12/2019 (Thu) 03:04:33 No.154 [Reply] [Last]
I would define a robowaifu as a doll with robotic features. However there are many different types of dolls (BJD, cloth doll, sex doll, etc). A doll has a skin or surface material, sometimes a filler (cotton), and sometimes internal structure (bones and joints).

Continuing the discussion from (((>>2831 >>2836 todo:relink))) , I want to create a thread to explore the many possible surface materials for a waifu (robo or no). The most important decision is whether to use a hard or soft material.

Hard Materials
>Ceramics
>Wood
>3D Printed Hard Plastic (PLA/ABS)
>Injection Molded Hard Plastic

Soft Materials
>Natural Fabrics (Cotton, Silk, Wool)
>Synthetic Fabrics (Vinyl, Polyester, Nylon)
>Fur/Hair (presumably synthetic, inb4 yiff in hell)
>Silicone or TPE Rubber (TPE is basically a cheaper form of silicone)

I'm strongly biased against the hard materials for comfort reasons. Personally, I have a hard time seeing myself falling in love with something hard, but others on this board talk about using hard materials, so I'm trying to keep an open mind.

My preference is for silicone, but there are four big problems with it. Firstly, it's expensive. Secondly, it impedes modification after the silicone has set. Thirdly, it contributes to the uncanny valley/silicone slut issue. Fourthly, it is heavy, and this weight really constrains the skeleton, posablity, and probably robotics. Because of the weight, silicone dolls have heavy-duty skeletons.

My second choice is therefore fabric, presumably stuffed with cotton. Fabric is super comfy, and has no uncanny valley issue. A non-fuggable fabric doll or robot would have no stigma issue, and could be the start of a productive hobbyist scene with plenty of females. Fabric is extremely lightweight which could be a plus or a minus. By itself, its unsubstantial and not ideal for robotics. A fabric robot is possible, but it requires hard, heavy parts underneath to provide structure and as actuators, which would make it less comfy. The fabric could be a textile (cotton), a synthetic leather (resembles skin, makeup/dress-up potential), or synthetic fur for you furfags out there.

Another possibility is a hard vinyl BJD-like doll with a layer of something comfy on top. Alternately, you all can reject my comfort autism if the benefits of having a hard doll/robot are clear enough. I'd like to hear others make the case for a hard doll/robot, since I don't think I could do the argument justice.

Finally, this is a discussion, not a debate. There are multiple paths we could take, and I'm sure different robowaifuists will try different techniques to see what works and what doesn't. I'm more interested in seeing what options are on the table than shutting down any particular approach.

>>30529 True, but you still need to form it, also while being warm. It's also being used for making things that way because it's has a low melting point, which might be disadvantage in many cases when it comes to make something useful. Especially with motors that create heat. It's also not very strong, just tends to bend and not break, which can be good for security reasons. I always thought it might be interesting to make full body molds for adding the silicone shell. If someone makes a lot of them, then it might be useful to reduce the price of plastics. For normal prototyping work it doesn't really matter, since plastic isn't really that expensive and we don't need that much and other also it's not the right one. Then again, it might be interesting for people in poor countries. You can collect quite some of it over time just by keeping household waste made out of it. If someone would need more, it might be possible to collect it or ask the company collecting it with containers to buy some of it for cheap. Also, please don't do this indoors, however much you may think the dangers of chemicals or fumes are just something activists make up in their minds. 3D printers have a temperature control and only melt small amounts at a time. Trying to melt bigger parts with a less precise device will certainly create even more dangerous fumes.
>>30529 HDPE type IV and type VII plastics are not thermo-reactive: they can be melted down multiple times without emitting many harmful fumes and remain stable (provided you don't burn them). Any other type of HDPE undergo a chemical change upon heating (thermo-reactive) thus their recycling methods are more complex (usually chemical) and ill suited for DIY use. Typically, the type is a number inside the little recycling symbol. I looked into them a little over a decade ago investigating diy vaccu-forming. Gallon milk jugs are the most common source.
>>30532 My thought process was the moderate flex is good for a shell at least but fact it is used for pallets and deck boards it cant be that bad at supporting weight when thick enough. I am seeing different melting points all over but lower ones i can find is 125°C with a max use temp of 120°C which I think means it doesnt become more flexible until that temperature so it doesn't warp till. Different types of plastics release different kind of chemical fumes. TPU releases hydrogen cyanide when heated enough as one example. Im not sure what HDPE produces. Just thinking of ultra cheap materials. here is a thought what about making paper mache and paper mache clay using food safe silicone glue and unbleached paper ? In theory this should create a fire retardant silicone paper structure.
>>30534 I see. I didn't know there were subtypes of HDPE and I can't even find information substantiating this.
>>5154 >>15227 >oogoo I found something interesting. Apparently if you use PEG 3350 (you know like Miralax type laxatives) instead of corn starch it makes it a shape memory polymer. Found it in some random student lesson. I suspect the ratio needs adjusting though. https://www.uakron.edu/polymer/agpa-k12outreach/lesson-plans/making-a-shape-memory-polymer-from-silicone-i-caulk-and-miralax Then when I looked into this a bit I came across a paper describing use of PEG 600 with silicone to create an electroactive polymer. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0022-3727/45/48/485303/pdf

Henlo anons, Stumbled here via youtube rabbit hole & thought I'd share my little side project. Started out as just an elaborate way to do some mech R&D (making a system to generate animation files on windows blender and export/transfer them to a raspberry pi system) and found tinkering with the various python libraries a kinda neat way to pass the time when whether doesn't permit my outside mech work. Plus I'd end up with a booth babe that I don't have to pay or worry about running off with a convention attendee. Currently running voice commands via google speech and chatgpt integration but I'm looking into offline/local stuff like openchat. WEF and such are so desperate to make a totalitarian cyberpunk dystopia I might as well make the fun bits to go along with it. And yes. Chicks do dig giant robots.

Been having good weather so I've been doing non-robowaifu robotics over the past few days P: Since SPUD's head is just about only held up while the servos are powered (and the servos heat up a bit while doing so), I figure since I'm eventually re-doing the head I should re-do the neck so it provides a bit more support. S̶t̶o̶l̶e̶ modified some inmoov parts, but 3d printed ball joints on this scale don't work very well. As a result, I'm just JB welding some ball joints (originally meant for a lawn tractor steering arm) onto the 3d printed screw drive sleeve. Won't be pretty but I can cover it up with a 3d printed shroud or something. Two screwdrive servos will be roughly imitating neck tendons with a third servo on top to twist the head left/right.
>>30510 Looks good, but I don't understand what part you welded to what.
>>30512 This. I need to secure the servos and find the optimal height to get the maximum tilt range.

However, 3D printing soft functional robots with two-part platinum cure silicones requires development to match the material performance of the molded counterparts. In this paper, we present a custom 3D printer and an extrusion mechanism capable of 3D printing soft functional robots. Moreover, we compare the performance differences between our 3D printed soft robots and molded counterparts via lamination casting and lost wax casting. We validate our results by conducting multiple experiments such as blocked force, bend angle, failure pressure, and dimensional quality analyses. We demonstrate that our method enables 3D printing of soft robots that can perform better, or match the performance of molded counterparts while being more reliable and robust with the usage of the same materials. https://www.3dsiliconeprinting.com/ OT (I hope), Radiation cleanup related: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frobt.2019.00040/full

via >30501 >This article demonstrates a two-step method to 3D print double network hydrogels at room temperature with a low-cost ($300) 3D printer. A first network precursor solution was made 3D printable via extrusion from a nozzle by adding a layered silicate to make it shear-thinning. After printing and UV-curing, objects were soaked in a second network precursor solution and UV-cured again to create interpenetrating networks of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate) and polyacrylamide. By varying the ratio of polyacrylamide to cross-linker, the trade-off between stiffness and maximum elongation of the gel can be tuned to yield a compression strength and elastic modulus of 61.9 and 0.44 MPa, respectively, values that are greater than those reported for bovine cartilage. The maximum compressive (93.5 MPa) and tensile (1.4 MPa) strengths of the gel are twice that of previous 3D printed gels, and the gel does not deform after it is soaked in water. By 3D printing a synthetic meniscus from an X-ray computed tomography image of an anatomical model, we demonstrate the potential to customize hydrogel implants based on 3D images of a patient’s anatomy. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.7b00094

Creating robowaifus requires lots and lots of design and artistry. It's not all just nerd stuff you know Anon! :^) ITT: Add any techniques, tips, tricks, or content links for any Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools and training to use when making robowaifus. >note: This isn't the 'Post Your Robowaifu-related OC Arts & Designs General' thread. We'll make one of those later perhaps. >--- I spent some time playing with the program Makehuman and I'll say I wasn't impressed. It's not possible to make anime real using Makehuman, in fact the options (for example eye size) are somewhat limited. But there's good news, don't worry! The creator of Makehuman went on to create a blender plugin called ManuelBastioniLAB which is much better (and has a much more humorous name). The plugin is easy to install and use (especially if you have a little blender experience). There are three different anime female defaults that are all pretty cute. (Pictured is a slightly modified Anime Female 2.) There are sliders to modify everything from finger length to eye position to boob size. It even has a posable skeleton. Unfortunately the anime models don't have inverse kinematic skeletons which are much easier to pose. Going forward I'm probably going to use MasturBationLABManuelBastioniLAB as the starting point for my designs. --- Saving everything with yt-dlp (>>16357, >>12247) >===

Anyone that played rebirth have any thoughts? I've been trying to watch someone's let's play but the game is so boring and uninspired to me that I don't really like watching it. It looks like kingdom hearts. For example you hit boxes to open them and run around boring corridors, complete opposite of the feel of the OG with hidden treasure chests and detailed backgrounds. I really don't like the character designs, I especially find Aeris really ugly in the game. I also hate the weird dynamic between the characters and how they expect you to simp for all the female characters. But these are just limited impressions as I can't really watch much. Anyone whose actually played it or finished it have any thoughts?
>>9782 Be real honest I played this already about twenty years ago and I don't think the rebirth is worth touching. Just watch the clips on youtube. The first has so much game depth that they can only provide a quick tour of the surface of the story, and couldn't even do that properly. Literally couldn't even retell the same story with fancier graphics, had to alter it pointlessly in a way that only diminishes instead of complements or elevates. You have to think, are you the lowest common denominator? Because that's the audience for this game, whoever and as many people as they can catch using FF& as bait.

When the opportunity to make games look like movies presented itself, it was all over for the good old gaming. Not only did it make games look ugly and cheap, with the ability to just scan somebody’s mug and then turn it into stuff of nightmares with bad shading and bamp maps and whatnot, it also opened the gates for all the failed wannabe holyjew directors who now started using gaming as an outlet for their self-assertion, which in turn attracted the unwanted attention of the msm and npcs.

Post about whatever media predominately features at least one fembot aka gynoid (female form of an android) as an important character, ideally a robowaifu or synthetic girlfriend. Some freedom with the topic is allowed, virtual waifus or bodiless AI might also qualify if she is female. Negative framing of the whole topic should be mentioned with negative sentiment. Cyborgs with a human brain or uploads of women don't really fit in, but if she's very nice (Alita) and maybe not a human based cyborg (catborg/netoborg) we can let it slide. Magical dolls have also been included in the past, especially when the guy had to hand-made them. Look through the old thread, it's worth it: >>82 - Picrel shows some of the more well know shows from a few years ago. I made a long list with links to more info's on most known anime shows about fembots/robowaifus, without hentai but including some ecchi and posted it here in the old thread: >>7008 - It also features some live-action shows and movies. I repost the updated list here, not claiming that it is complete, especially when it comes to live action and shows/movies we don't really like. >In some cases I can only assume that the show includes robogirls, since the show is about various robots, but I haven't seen it yet.

Nuzach once enjoyed the prime-time bloodsports even before jcaesar187's downfall at the hands of the Гунт with by far the most stupid reasons to lose one's mind for; a good deal of 8ch veterans kept enjoying his seething about alogs until this day. But not nuzach, he was too much of a trailer trash white G​AMERGATE himself to laugh at a lolcow proper and enjoy the show. But most importantly, he was a ni/gg/er at heart. He didn't luck out with the /cow/ userbase that repeatedly mocked his inclinations to waste time playing cuckeogooms and to want to fuck children. Neither did he luck out with the administration, and his buddy John was ousted and the ni/gg/er-infested cancer known as /v/ removed from my jewish mother. As a result of my jewish mother cracking down on pedos, he lost 90% of his remaining sanity. To get told to "go and make your own site if you want to jack it to children" was the straw that broke this buck's back. As a result all his pedo buddies, those parasitic cliques that had already lost 60% of their numbers when TheGatorGamer got rid of /hebe/ and other boards, were left without a host again. Some went to KC, others were scattered in the wind forever. Enter zzzchan, a pretty rulecucked site existing pretty much solely for the ni/gg/er pedos to play smash and jerk off to kids, where the mere suggestion that loli is pedophilic earns the poster a ban. Even the few boards that wanted none of that were eventually infested. Nuzach now spends his days seething on zzzchan about the alogs and tvch, sometimes going to those sites to seethe at the moderation and screech at "/cow/kikes" and Anita. Nuzach is definitely the main individual lolcow of the webring, the juciest one among the collective lolcow that the ni/gg/ers from zzzchan are. Banned from every board that isn't ran by pedos, he says the "/cow/kike moderation" and "feminists" are at fault for him getting banned from every place he goes to. No, it couldn't be the precious Eric, he's too good to be fairly banned.

How about an "up-do" hairstyle made of wiring, heat pipes, fiber-optics, jewels(camera lenses), etc, in a style similar to that of yeoman Janice Rand in Star Trek TOS, with the LIDAR box/dome on top? See picrels. This could conceal the tilting mechanism, and the rings could be hidden or exposed as part of the do. The sloping shape would allow a clear field of view all around. You could have the mood LEDs light the fiber optics. Fiber optic "hair" could fall behind to shoulder-length or longer with more metal ornament (tinsel?) suggested by the hairstyle of Jennifer Connely in "Labyrinth". Black and white Rand pic with more silvery look. A feminine but very artificial look, as functional as you can make it. Sorry, I don't have any robot art with anything close yet.

Generative image making isnt very good for designing ideas for 3D objects since it can only create identifiable objects already commonly drawn and photographed before. Otherwise details get melted into unidentifiable masses if you prompt anything but a cliche or lots of small parts are used and not enough people draw it exactly the same. In many cases you could have found images of already drawn by someone relatively easily with some ideas more clearly, just not always in a single image. All you get is a seemingly polished image but is actually full of flaws in any detail so it only gives a vague idea but not detailed like even a simple sketch can better convey sometimes. Id say it is a waste of processing power and time. >>29699 >>29698 >>29695 If you mean a LiDAR that is 360 you can place it in the neck behind translucent plastic or resin that doesnt block IR. Just need short enough hair and a way to move the head that wont block LiDAR too much which might be challenging though. What if it was a staff she carries or even just a simple tower or rod protruding from her shoulder or back above her head? or what about a small drone that automatically tracks her that LiDAR and sends the info to her guiding her third person perspective but is technically part of her? When it comes to stationary LiDAR that is way easier but you would need a minimum of two to four depending where placed. I had posted some more affordable LiDAR in a few posts in the vision thread if anyone is interested.

I'm looking for a way to get notifications when posts are made on all my favorite imageboards as a way to A) Discourage myself from spending hours aimlessly lurking dozens of sites and finding maybe one or two new posts, while I have stuff I really should be doing. And B) Encourage activity on these places by being able to respond promptly. I want these notifications delivered to my phone, because I spend most of my time outside. I know /whitelist/ on Junkuchan has an RSS and an Atom feed, but I don't think most boards do. If there's some app that already does this that would be cool, but it needs to work for any IB. I've tried out some IB browsers but they only work on a handful of boards, and never the ones I actually use, and with the current state of IBs to rely solely on some guy, who's probably knee-deep in a computer science major, and working on 6 other projects, to learn about every new IB I like and get it on their app doesn't seem practical. And besides, I don't need a IB browser, just something that notifies me when a post is made. If this is something I'd have to make myself, I'm willing to do that, and if so, I'd love to be pointed in the right direction(s). I'm not particularly learned on computers or programming, but I've always been able to mash out anything that I set my mind to.

Attention drawfags and writefags! Your skills will be needed. The task of building and designing a robowaifu is a herculean quest. As great as this community is, /robowaifu/ simply does not have the manpower to real our goal of DIY robowaifus. Luckily for us there are several communities on the internet that we could find new recruits or allies to help us build our waifus: MGTOW - These guys know all about the legal pitfalls of marriage and the dangers of feminism. There is already a lot of talk about sex robots in MGTOW communities. It shouldn't be a hard sell to get them to come here. Incels - Guys that can't get laid. The opportunity for love and companionship should be enough to bring some of these guys over. We need to be careful when recruiting from some of their communities. We don't want to attract negative attention. Monster girls/furry/mlp fandoms - The only way these guys are going to be able to have their harpy/elf/goblin/anthro/pony/whatever gf is with a robowaifu. They have an interest in seeing us succeed. Again we need to be careful here not to attract the wrong kind of people that will bring us the wrong kind of attention. Male STEM students - Generally these guys aren't going to get laid until after they have established themselves. A robowaifu could really help them. This may be a harder sell because many of them have been brainwashed in university, but they have skills that we could really use. Transhumanists/biohackers - Many of the technologies involved in building a robowaifu could be used in transhumanist or biohacking applications such as building an avatar. They may have some interest in helping us out. We will need to be careful which transhumanist communities we go after as many of them are full of feminism, tumblr tier sexualities and genders, and SJW's. Cyberpunks and technophiles - These guys (and they are usually guys) are all around into technology and may just enjoy working on the kinds of projects we need to do. They are often into programming and AI.

Anyone remember Delmore Oh from Second Life's Something Awful/W-Hat group? He's come back and is now making unfunny /pol/-tier Youtube cocks under the name Uguroza. This rabbit hole probably goes deeper than Britbong's. https://twitter.com/UgurozaVT https://www.youtube.com/@UgurozaVT/videos
>>246256 Wait Delmore is back? I haven't heard that name in over a decade and a half. I see he's recycling one of his closet furry object head motifs for his vtube character. His default look in second life was a cartoon devil and he had an inworld store called "That Handsome Devil". He made some neat stuff but he was a massive faggot.

Bipedal Robot Locomotion General Robowaifu Technician 09/15/2019 (Sun) 05:57:42 No.237 [Reply] [Last]
We need to talk about bipedal locomotion. It's a complicated topic but one that has to be solved if we are ever to have satisfyingly believable robowaifus. There has surely already been a lot of research done on this topic, and we need to start digging and find the info that's out there. There are some projects that have at least partial robolegs solutions working, but none that I know of that look very realistic yet. We likely won't come up with some master-stroke of genius and solve everyone's problems here on /robowaifu/, but we should at least take a whack at it who knows? We certainly can't accomplish anything if we don't try.

I personally believe we should be keeping the weight out of the extremities – including the legs – while other anons think that we should add weight to the feet for balance. What's you're ideas anon? How do we control the gait? How do we adjust for different conditions? What if our robowaifu is carrying things? What about the legs during sex? Should we focus on the maths behind MIP (Mobile Inverted Pendulum), or is there a different approach that would be more straightforward? A mixture? Maybe we can even do weird stuff like reverse-knee legs that so many animals have. Robofaun waifu anyone? What about having something like heelys or bigger wheels in the feet as well?

I'm pretty sure if we just put our heads together and don't stop trying, we'll eventually arrive at least one good general solution to the problem of creating bipedal robot legs.

>>29059 Remarkable. Two things I would notice about the video and the graph. * 1a. Clearly, the ABS achieves higher-performance metrics. * 1b. The tighter 'spread' of the data points on the graph, possibly (probably) indicates a sounder, more-efficient solution to the problemspace itself, when compared to the competition. * 2. The (common) design of the actuated legs is an exemplar of one of my key design opuses (>>28664), namely: > "The designer must keep the very dense elements (such as the biggest of the actuation motors & batteries) inboard within the torso framework." These doggobots do exactly that, and is a fundamental reason this general design approach is so popular now: because it works, and it's energy-efficient. --- >exteroception Lol, that's a new one on me even though I've had the exact idea in my head for probably two decades now. :^) Top-quality post Lad.

>>29766 Thread related, an idea that didn't work very well.
>>9053 >Unfixed center of mass in design: as in "megaman" robots (and the Roll example), center of mass is drawn to the Boots, which themselves could be weighted further. (for "intimate" times the boots could be taken off to reveal more human-like feet, when sitting comfortably or lying down, etc). Somehow came up with this exact same idea yesterday or so, so I might as well voice my support for it here. Seems like it would make it easier for the robot to balance if the center of gravity was made closer to the feet, even if it makes the bot 20+ lbs heavier.
Dont really have robotics or simulation experience but cheat mode Black boots with one rubber wheel per foot to walk in a manner giving illusion of walking with feet very close to ground. This can be done with wheel mid foot for heel strike mimicking or forefoot for using the heels as a stable ground and do a forefoot walk with front wheels dragging along and heel raised. There is a few options for more on monster girl side of design such as a dragging dragon tail for extra backward support with or without a wheel in it or a monkey tail tripod leg that walks as a third smaller supportive limb There is disabled approach too such as not walking at all using a wheelchair or vehicle or walks with cane, walker or crutches. Embrace tradition reject bipedal and crawls on hands and kneeds going "nyan nyan nyan" or "wan wan wan wan" :3 bipedal but not quite human mimetic Gyroscopic balancing is an obvious option but it also will add weight and likely cant be entirely relied on but can at least help in some situations if there is room for it. Similar to OPs mention of a deer girl what about a harpy with backward bending bird legs? A bit creepy but kinda cute maybe? "bladeless" fans using air propulsion to aid in balancing. By bladeless I mean hiding the blades for safety reasons. This has obvious down side of increased noise and likely is not that energy efficient.

Fucking illiterates. IPO stands for Initial Public Offering, it's a stock market thing, when a company first goes public. An IPO scam is when a no-name company, usually a tech start-up, promises to totally DISRUPT and REVOLUTIONIZE whatever, issues themselves and their investors a boatload of stock which is of course is valued at BILLIONS, then proceeds to dump it all on corporate media hyped-up retail investors before it's revealed the company isn't actually making or doing shit.

ITT we're all united together under the common banner of building robowaifus as we so desire. Welcome. Since this is the ambassadorial thread of /robowaifu/, we're curious what other communities who know of us are up to. So w/o doxxing yourselves, if this is your first time posting ITT please tell us about your home communities if you wouldn't mind please Anons. What do you like about them, etc? What brought you to /robowaifu/ today? The point here is to create a connection and find common-ground for outreach with each other's communities.

Hello, everyone. I've been lurking (and occasionally posting) on /robowaifu/ for a long while now. I'm an oldfag. Veteran of the original Habbo Hotel raids. Home boards are /fit/, /k/, /sci/'s /sfg/ general and /x/ on 4chan as well as /pol/ and /cyb/ on 8ch. I've been interested in robotics since I was a kid, and messed around a lot with RC stuff when I was younger but ended up not pursuing robotics professionally. I'm at a point in my career now where I can comfortably spend more free time on personal projects, and have decided to develop some skills with programming, neural networks and the like. I've been 3d printing some manipulators and servo brackets lately to tinker with, and I'll post my projects when I have something worth showing off. I've certainly been impressed with the progress I've seen many of you make. While I'm sure I would agree with the majority of you on most relevant topics, I do disagree with some of the sentiments expressed here. I am staunchly opposed to artificial wombs, for one, and I don't really enjoy dunking on women who have been psyop'd into becoming eggless wine-and-cat roasties. I am on the same page regarding feminism, globohomo and the current clown regime, however, and I recognize the utility of quality robowaifus for the great number of people who have been beaten down by the rotten system's machinations. For the record, I am a happily married man with a child on the way. I am not interested in robowaifu development as a personal (for me, that is) woman replacement, but more so as a representation of the evolving capabilities of robots. It's obviously the most desired consumer use-case for mass produced robot companions, and the development process that people like the denizens of this board are involved in encompasses so many different issues with this social robots as a whole; everything from locomotion to censorship, manipulation and just making sure the thing is cute! I firmly believe that the greatest leaps in this field will be made by people like the lot of you; people who are passionate about their pursuit. I look forward to seeing what you all produce, and hope that I can contribute in some small way. Above all, I hope you all have a nice day.

Artificial Wombs general Robowaifu Technician 09/12/2019 (Thu) 03:11:54 No.157 [Reply] [Last]
I think we need to figure out how to fit a womb onto a waifubot. Where's the fun in having sex if you can't procreate?

Repost from a thread on /b/;
>"If you're like me and want to fuck a qt battlebot and get her pregnant, the best place to put an artificial womb is where a normal womb would be on a normal girl. The metal exterior could simply be a bunch of metal plates that unfold to allow space for the womb pod inside. The baby is probably safest inside the battlebot, and if she has good calibration then there shouldn't be problems with her falling and hurting the baby. After giving birth the metal plates could automatically fold back up again, shrinking the womb pod inside so she is combat effective again."

Well /robowaifu/? Feasible?

This is about as unrealistic as you can get. Artificial wombs might be possible in future but likely not before fetal transplant develops and it won't be something mobile. Even with artificial wombs and if you can start from the beginning of the process you still need eggs and you aren't likely picking those up at the market. At that point you are just essentially doing a surrogate pregnancy with some uknown girl. >>24847 >>24849 >That's a lot of money to cope and seethe over poor life choices. Womb transplants are done for women that lost their womb from surgery because of cancer but want to birth a child or another child. It's very rare because it is a high risk surgery and the womb has to be removed later because it can become necrotic. There has been some successful pregnancies after womb transplants but it really can't be viewed as any way relevant to artificial wombs. >>28810 >Only the recent ancestors, the looks (phenotype), and the self-identification with a group based on that, is what matters. Genotype is what influences phenotype. Phenotype is also influenced by environment. Together this is known as epigenetics. Genotypes can tell you about inheritable illnesses and predispositions to develop something later under right conditions. If you only are speaking of ethnicity or race or more generally ancestry then ethnic groups are more cultural groups built around things like shared language and so on and racial groups are not equivalent to genetic population clusters. Might want to point out babies can have their eye colour and hair colour change to be different from how it looked when they were born, this commonly happens.

Hand Development Robowaifu Technician 07/28/2020 (Tue) 04:43:19 No.4577 [Reply] [Last]
Since we have no thread for hands, I'm now opening one. Aside the AI, it might be the most difficult thing to archive. For now, we could at least collect and discuss some ideas about it. There's Will Cogleys channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/WillCogley - he's on his way to build a motor driven biomimetic hand. It's for humans eventually, so not much space for sensors right now, which can't be wired to humans anyways. He knows a lot about hands and we might be able to learn from it, and build something (even much smaller) for our waifus. Redesign: https://youtu.be/-zqZ-izx-7w More: https://youtu.be/3pmj-ESVuoU Finger prototype: https://youtu.be/MxbX9iKGd6w CMC joint: https://youtu.be/DqGq5mnd_n4 I think the thread about sensoric skin >>242 is closely related to this topic, because it will be difficult to build a hand which also has good sensory input. We'll have to come up with some very small GelSight-like sensors. F3 hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/JPTnVLJH4SY https://youtu.be/j_8Pvzj-HdQ Festo hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/5e0F14IRxVc Thread >>417 is about Prosthetics, especially Open Prosthetics. This can be relevant to some degree. However, the constraints are different. We might have more space in the forearms, but we want marvelous sensors in the hands and have to connect them to the body.

Well i did make a hand so i'll chime in. I think the joins ought to be cylinders for more seamless movement. I also think most hands out there are too masculine. So I'll be modding/making a new hand i think.
>>29428 Does anyone know of a printable hand design that has an open channel on the interior of each finger joint for mounting sensors? I'm thinking of a removable pc board with contact/pressure sensors that could be swapped out as technology improves and better sensors become available. That way we could start with something as simple as circuit board push-buttons or contact switches (like are used in copiers and printers) and upgrade later without having to build a new hand design. The hand and sensors would be covered by a silicone glove. This way the "skin" doesn't have to be made with built in sensors. Separate subassemblies mean cheaper upgrades and repairs. Basically I want to future-proof, as much as possible, the work I will be doing soon.
>>27988 That's fine, I agree, but I think Chobitsu will ban you anyways. >>29719 I wanted to do this, but didn't get to it so far. I think you will have to go with a simple design first and replace it later. Making a really good hand will be really difficult and not everyone will need the same complexity. I'm convinced that it has to be made out of many small machined metal parts (maybe even Titanium, lol). Otherwise there's not enough space, and plastics would be too fragile if being so small. Also, ideally the lines for data and energy should not be cables, but the hinges should be made of metal parts insulated from each other. To picture it: Imagine the middle layer of each finger bone to be a PCB with lines, then an insulation on top and bottom, covered with metal, then maybe a TPU before the silicone rubber. The sensors would be in the TPU or silicone, but in the tips it might be little cameras ("gel sight") as part of the PCB and a little hole would allow to look at the soft material in the finger tip. The hinges more like very small "piano hinges" (aka "continuous hinges"), but with insulation between different parts, so different signals can be transmitted and received. Even if this would work, there would still be a problem with making sure the sensors wont be harmed or messed up by little cuts or interactions with the environments (needles, thorns).
>>18745 >Dexhand There is a site for it that didnt get listed https://www.dexhand.org/ I wonder if there is a way to make the hand smaller to a more feminine palm width. Also how to make it quieter aside from an outer casing.

Among other things it can do hand/body tracking, which means Real Steel -erm... I mean... robowaifus doing a synchronized dance with a human ain't so far fetched.

There are a lot of robotics research and projects going on out there in the world, many of them with direct application for us here. Please contribute important, quality links you find that you think would help /robowaifu/.

Robot Operating System (ROS)

Funny i stumbled on this on accident while looking up hugging robots. Wasnt sure if I should post this here or the news thread. >Hugging Face is launching a new robotics project under former Tesla staff scientist Remi Cadene > He also said he was “looking for engineers” in Paris, France and posted a link to a job listing for an “Embodied Robotics Engineer,” which gives more clues, reading in part: >“At Hugging Face, we believe ML doesn’t have to be constrained to computers and servers, and that’s why we’re expanding our team with a new opportunity for a Robotics Engineer focusing on Machine Learning/AI. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining open-source and low cost robotic systems that integrate AI technologies, specifically in deep learning and embodied AI. You will collaborate closely with ML engineers, researchers, and product teams to develop innovative solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics and AI.“ >The listing also calls upon hires to “Design, build, and maintain open-source and low cost robotic systems integrating deep learning and embodied AI technologies” and “Build low cost robots with off the shelf electronic components and controllers and 3D printed parts.” > We’ve reached out to confirm the news with Hugging Face and ask for further information on the project. We will update when we hear back. https://venturebeat.com/ai/hugging-face-is-launching-an-open-source-robotics-project-led-by-former-tesla-scientist/ And the job listing is here https://apply.workable.com/huggingface/j/F612A84F16/
>>30205 Neat! While they are clearly GH-encumbered, HF is literally humanity's best hope for opensauce AI ATP. I wonder what they'll think when they realize the actual tsunami of consumer demand out there is for robowaifus, not just general 'embodied' agents? :DD Thanks Anon! Cheers. :^) >*fires up resume* >=== -minor edit

>>30203 Its rather surprising oobabooga and sillytavern are still active, really. But I suppose it is security through obscurity. That's why *technically* I'm making SPUD as an artificial booth babe. If someone wants to use my product lewd purposes... that is none of my business :)
>>30210 Yes, I think you're right. It's a strange dichotomy. There's some dynamic of the old turn of speech 'strange bedfellows' at play here IMO. < On the one hand: We here (and other Anons like us), with our clearly muhsoggyknees, literally Hitler desire for loving, helpful, and charming waifus. < On the other hand: Enthusiast groups largely funded by the evil globohomo, who want nothing more than to quadruple-down on an ultra-pozz overdose, gleefully pushing for an end to Whitey for good, and the destruction of the Patriarchy!111!!ONE!! ...both working together for the common goal of AI 'benevolence' towards all mankind! :DD Strange Days indeed, heh. :^) >=== -minor edit

I came across this soft robotics focused site with instructions for different actuators, mainly pneumatic. Their YouTube channel barely has followers so I may be first here to point this out. https://opensoftmachines.com/
