Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Lurk Less: Tasks to Tackle Robowaifu Technician 02/13/2023 (Mon) 05:40:18 No.20037 [Reply]
Here we share the ideas of how to help the development of robowaifus. You can look for tasks to improve the board, or ones which would help to move the development forward. You could also come up with a task that needs to be worked on and ask for help, use the pattern on top of OP for that, replace the part in <brackets> with your own text and post it. >Pattern to copy and adjust for adding a task to the thread: Task: <Description, general or very specific and target thread for the results> Tips: <Link additional information and add tips of how to achieve it.> Constraints and preferences: <Things to avoid> Results: Post your results in the prototypes thread if you designed something >>18800, or into an on-topic thread from the catalog if you found something or created a summary or diagram. General Disclaimer: Don't discuss your work on tasks in this thread, make a posting in another thread, or several of them, and then another one here linking to it. We do have a thread for prototypes >>18800, current meta >>18173 and many others in the catalog https://alogs.space/robowaifu/catalog.html - the thread for posting the result might also be the best place to discuss things. >General suggestions where you might be able to help: - Go through threads in the catalog here https://alogs.space/robowaifu/catalog.html and make summaries and diagrams like pointed out starting here >>10428 - Work on parts instead of trying to develop and build a whole robowaifu - Work on processes you find in some thread in the catalog https://alogs.space/robowaifu/catalog.html - Test existing mechanisms shared on this board, prototypes >>18800 - Try to work on sensors in some kind of rubber skin and in parts >>95 >>242 >>419 - Keep track of other sites and similar projects, for example on YouTube, Twitter or Hackaday. - Copy useful pieces of information from threads on other sites and boards talking about "sexbots", "chatbots", AI or something similar.

Why Robowaifu? Men's mental health regarding the sexes has been rapidly-deteriorating today, and men around the world have been looking for a solution. History shows there are cultural and political solutions to this general problem's causes, but we believe that technology is the best way forward at present – specifically the technology of robotics. We are technologists, dreamers, hobbyists, geeks and robots looking forward to a day when any man can build the ideal companion he desires in his own home. However, not content to wait for the future; we are bringing that day forward. We are creating an active hobbyist scene of builders, programmers, musicians, artists, designers, and writers using the technology of today, not tomorrow. Join us! >tl;dr This is a place for men who want to live peacefully with beautiful feminine robowaifus.

This is a thread to discuss smaller or general waifu building problems, solutions, proposals and questions that don't warrant a thread or touch on more than one topic. In a way this is a technical meta, minus news. Keep it technical. A lot of topics in the old thread here >>83 have a thread on their own by now.

>>45020 This is a good thing. Thanks for the report, HoloAnon. --- In other news: China's restrictions on AI companions applies only within their own country. AFAICT, no attempts are being made to restrict it outside. This is also some good news for us here.
Ngr*edia appears to be in the midst of attempting a 'hostile takeover' style bid against HuggingFace rn: https://web.archive.org/web/20260827032828/https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-in-talks-to-buy-hugging-face-13-billion-dollars-2026-8
>>45121 I saw that. Very concerning indeed But, Devil's Advocate (maybe literally in this instance), NVIDIA already was one of the top donors to huggingface, among many other corporate supporters, so it's not like they were completely separate and independent before. Regardless, no matter what happens, backup your favorite models and look for alternatives. The main point of offline AI is that it's downloadable.
>>45121 HuggingFace went to shit a long time ago when they banned GPT-4chan in 2022. They've been continually taking down models and banning users without any explanation for their actions or any way to get their accounts or data back. They're worse than YouTube. I hope they fumble it and that website dies so more people start self-hosting their own models, instead of willingly walking into the digital gulag in lockstep.

SPUD Thread 2: Robowaifu Boogaloo Mechnomancer 11/19/2024 (Tue) 02:27:15 No.34445 [Reply] [Last]
This first post is to show the 5 big milestones in the development of SPUD, the Specially Programmed UwU Droid. You can see the old thread here: >>26306 The end goal of SPUD is to provide a fairly high-functioning robot platform at a relatively low cost (free code but a few bucks for 3d print files) that can be used for a variety of purposes such as promotional, educational or companionship. All AI used is hosted on local systems: no bowing to corporations any more than necessary, thank you. Various aspects of the code are/will be modular, meaning that adding a new voice command/expression/animation will be easy as making the file, naming it and placing it in the correct folder (no need to mess around with the base code unless you REALLY want to). While I'm researching more about bipedal walking I'll be making a companion for SPUD to ride on, so it might be a while before I return to the thread.

>>45093 Thanks for the update, Mechnomancer. That sounds like a nice design choice for the torso/support rack improvements. Hopefully this will allow you to put a lot of focus on the pelvic volume as the locus of her major mechanical dynamics. That will be an essential step IMHO for allowing dear SPUD to eventually become fully-autonomous with clear bipedal mobility. Cheers, Anon. :)
Edited last time by Chobitsu on 08/24/2026 (Mon) 16:43:57.
>>45093 Looking good! The new face is great! Hopefully in the future, she can walk with the support. I recommend a quick-detach method for the mount.

>>45094 SPUD now has all the motors necessary to walk (theoretically(, its just a matter of connecting them and calibrating. >>45109 The pelvis has a quick disconnect pin I took off a 300lb linear actuator. SPUD looks kinda sassy ngl :D Also tends to tilt her head only to 1 side, probably just a programming error for the neck twist.

>>43717 a servo motor is technically a dc and a gearbox. A "integrated servo motor"/"servo motor" means dc + gearbox + motor controller + potentiometer all in a little box. But if you buy all these separately like you are talking about, yes you can get way bigger dc motor and gearbox so it'd be stronger and buying separately can sometimes be cheaper. Also buying separately lets you spread them out to have a more modifiable form factor custom to your use case rather than forced into a box that might be bad for your use case in its dimensions. However, technically, even buying it all separately, the final outcome can still be called a "servo motor" despite it NOT being purchased in a integrated package fit into a plastic box. Which is confusing to me. Like why not have separate names for all of this. We lack enough words in English to distinguish between things that are clearly different.
>>43728 Yeah it can be confusing, technically a servo is any motor/sensor/controller combo that allows for precision control of angular/linear position/speed/torque while colloquially it tends to refer to the funny little hobbyist packages that use pulse width modulation for positioning. For small scale buying prefab servo systems is viable, but for large loads (over 70kg) diy solutions would be cheaper. Hobby servo = specific form factor (pic rel) servo motor system = generic term, I guess.

>>43717 >>43728 >Why not have separate names? They do have separate names. As Mechnomancer mentioned, hobby servos are what you and most other people think of first. Hobby servos can then be divided by size Micro, standard, and Large Type of motor, feedback mechanism, voltage, speed, torque, etc... all are usually easily found as further differentiating factors. Non-hobby servos generally rely on DC for signaling and AC for running the motor and follow NEMA standards. >>43729 >Servo Any mechanism where feedback is used to regulate behaviour. >Servo Motor Any system wherein a motors beviour is regulated via feedback mechanism.

Galatea v3 Series: Maid Robot GreerTech 05/01/2025 (Thu) 00:54:37 No.38070 [Reply] [Last]
For the past year, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. Her name is Galatea. She's currently in the v3 Series. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, around $400 to make. She's also very customizable, you can choose the color, dress, hair, and even AI. I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots and robotic companions, while it is not the most complex, it is easy to mass produce and cheap. As of this post, her latest version is v3.0.2 Previous thread: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/74.html

>>45110 POTD Cool. I think we already talked about 'interfacing' changes elsewhere. What's new about her arm? Also, red light as in helping you with sleep?
>>45111 They're at a slight angle now, it makes her look more natural and cute. Yes, red light as in sleep, but also in skin rejuvenation.
>>45112 I see. She is cute already, but I think its also a good idea to improve her towards being more natural as well. BTW, I missed asking you about the new head & base options?
