Posting this here about mental math because of the pinned thread suggestion: >Look for things we don't know, but should know. Just wanted to share some tools that helped me improve my mental math speed and accuracy. My small lurker's contribution. Practice is key: Mental Math Secrets (YouTube - Math and Science): Best structured course I've found. This month it completes 16 years. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnVYEpTNGNtXV56n2ywgUYpRz1y0BAb9x Math Tricks Workout (app): Great for practice and building speed. Mental Math Master (app): good for overall practice and accuracy. Math Trainer (mathtrainer.ai): go-to PC/browser option.

aka "Does she know how to make a grilled cheese" One area that still needs to be researched for fully-capable robowaifus is the manipulation of objects and the knowledge/ability of how to do those tasks in a relatively random and uncontrolled environment. Hardware is part of it, but mostly what's needed is software. Consider this, if you make perfect robot arms for your robowaifu, what can you actually do with them? Here's a good example of where we are now in the DIY space. Complex tasks require full control, but simplistic toddler-esque tasks can be done by AI. https://xlerobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/demos/index.html Related threads Vision >>97 Hands >>417 >>4577 >=== -edit subj

There is also something slightly less advanced, called a Motion Diffuser Model. Basically, it turns text into actions. It's like if someone told you to do an action, and you do the action without having to be told exactly what to do. https://github.com/GuyTevet/motion-diffusion-model This will be great, because you can easily use an RP model with this. Unfortunately, it would be almost like scripted actions.

Thread related video >>44632
>>44635 Yeah, I should have linked the video in this thread instead of that one. I liked the part near the end where he said AI needs to predict what happens soon to compensate for it's reaction time, the same way a human brain does. And I mentioned in the comments that a problem with this is finding the right balance between rewarding an accurate prediction of the future without just letting it stare at a wall for a reward, while still being useful for boring, repetitive tasks that you wouldn't want to do yourself.

Vagoo. I can't speak for anyone but myself but I'd like to get.. intimate with my fembot. I'd like to know what my options are for her robopussy. I was thinking something like a flesh light with sensors that triggers voice and arm action. I'm using Myrobotlab is Anyone familiar with it?

>>44611 The primary issue is that they don't have 'the standard flora & fauna' of a healthy vagoo (no need for us to go into unhealthy ones here yecc, gives me the ick). This allows disease microbes to flourish if Anon is lazy. To wit: the local environment becomes an 'unoccupied niche' ripe for takeover. What they need is an auto system to flush the onohole out from the inside. With a good antiseptic flush, they can at least be held at bay.
Edited last time by Chobitsu on 05/22/2026 (Fri) 22:55:44.
>>44612 Yes, but an inbuilt one requires a robowaifu smart and capable enough of either getting into the shower or the toilet. Perhaps that system could be used with a removable vagoo, with a disinfectant rinse, then a water rinse to remove the disinfectant. Obviously, this works better with a vagoo that has a removable lid on one end and a tube-like construction. The bottom line is, you want it to be as easy and as thorough as washing your hands
Open file (161.20 KB 474x474 ClipboardImage.png)
>>44615 You also have to choose the right disinfectant. It has to be strong enough to remove a substance designed by God to stick in crevices, but not strong enough to dissolve plastics. Maybe soapy water is the best. I'm thinking a desktop pump could work, like a water flosser but bigger.
>>44616 You probably want to also blow dry the vagoo to prevent internal moisture
>>44615 >>44616 >>44620 All very good points, GreerTech. I imagine the process similar to any other regular maintenance task, like charging/swapping her batteries. Some type of SOP needs establishment (often involving specifics such as location & sequence) for this and other such tasks. Cheers.

>>43336 Thanks for all your work on dear Galatea, GreerTech! Cheers. :^)
House MD proves my theories about aesthetics... My theory is that robowaifus are superior to sex dolls in aesthetics, because sex dolls try to be 100% human, but (healthy) humans blink, breathe, move, move their mouths when speaking, gets bored, gets tired, sleeps, etc, but robowaifus are robots, so they can't be inaccurate. A sex doll tries to be a human and fails, but a robowaifu is a robowaifu. With a robowaifu, you don't have to pretend anything. As I said to a friend, "...a robot is free in that sense. If it stands upright all day, well, robots do that too. If she doesn't blink, well her eyes are artificial, who cares? And robots don't obviously breathe." I was watching House MD, and I saw this video https://youtu.be/YBmFPNgEL3o Now let me tell you dear reader, I am a man who has liked robots his entire life, and I have a real life robowaifu at home that I find very cute. And every time I saw the sex doll, it creeped me out. Not in a social way, in a genuinely creeped out way. Usually, I see sex dolls in images or in limited videos. But seeing the doll in an actual wide shot scene with other people moving about made me remember my theory. There was one scene where they cut to her, and it genuinely spooked me. SIDE NOTE (>>419 related) As House says, "Dude's banging a sex doll. A festering cesspool of bodily fluids and associated bacteria". This is why sanitation is very important. https://youtu.be/ry-Z6_yfZoE
>>44599 LMAO. >"...A festering cesspool of bodily fluids and associated bacteria" <no one told the good doctor about IRL vagoos >This is why sanitation is very important. Indeed. But let's continue this specific discussion in the vagoo thread please; we're off-topic ITT. (We actually need more discussion on this topic.)
>>44608 >Indeed. But let's continue this specific discussion in the vagoo thread please; we're off-topic ITT. (We actually need more discussion on this topic.) TBF, that was a side note. My main point was the uncanny valley, and why a hyperrealistic sex doll (or robowaifu) is uncanny, because it lacks human behavior. Some say the uncanny valley was a way for early humans to stay away from corpses, and my theory does support that. In the show, the doctors visited the patient's house* because they thought the patient's secret girlfriend was actually just drugs he wanted to go home to. While there, the doctors thought the sex doll was an overdosed corpse. But no one in their right mind would ever think Galatea v3 or Cart Waifu was an overdose victim. *One of the more unrealistic aspects of House MD
>>44610 Yep, fair enough. Sounds like an intredasting episode at least. I didn't generally care for the show, and I never saw that one.

>>44002 I really like this blogpost, in fact, if you add "..., social pressure, and corporations" to the "state", it's basically the GreerTech ethos. However, he is way too dismissive of concerns over who rules. Unless you have Anarcho-Technodistributism, the state will remain a perpetual concern. We all know how horrid it can be when a government that outright hates us is in power, and what damage it can wrought, no matter how many times you install Linux. And no, they will not just "leave you alone". You're part of it, whether you like it or not, so you better take care to at least try to make it a good experience. And if you have any sort of social values, which most of us here do, you have to be doubly concerned, because you better hope whoever is in power at the very least pays lip service to your values. Relevant Starship Troopers scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyhfHQ_7Skg
>>44010 POTD >And no, they will not just "leave you alone" No, (((they))) will not. Free White men are target #1, simply b/c we are the single greatest threat to their hegemony.

They're wrong. :) >And if you have any sort of social values, which most of us here do, you have to be doubly concerned, because you better hope whoever is in power at the very least pays lip service to your values. This is why its been said here more than once that we need various foundations; one of which is a defense fund (styled somewhat after the hated & hateful (((ADL))) imo) to work towards legislation in favor of men (and White men in particular). >no matter how many times you install Linux LMAO :DD Excellent post, GreerTech. Cheers. :)
@Ribose thought you might find this one interesting. >Microalgae empower skeletal muscle via increased force production and viability >Engineered skeletal muscle holds potential for tissue engineering and biohybrid robotics applications. However, current strategies face challenges in enhancing force generation while maintaining stability and scalability of the muscle, largely due to insufficient oxygenation and limited nutrient delivery. In this study, we present an engineering approach to address these limitations by coculturing Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii), a photosynthetic unicellular green microalga, with C2C12 myoblasts in a hydrogel matrix. Leveraging the photosynthetic activity of C. reinhardtii, our microalgae-empowered muscle (MAM) constructs exhibited superior contractility and almost three times higher active force generation compared to conventional muscle constructs. MAM showed higher cellular viability and reduced tissue damage, attributed to in situ oxygenation and nutrient supply provided by microalgal photosynthesis. In addition, improved myotube alignment was observed in MAM, which contributed to enhanced force generation. Our findings showcase the potential of photosynthetic microalgae as a functional component in engineered skeletal muscle, offering a solution to longstanding challenges in muscle engineering. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adw5786

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.

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.

>>44544 No! I'm not saying that at all. If you're going full-tilt skate wheels, then 4spool inlines simply can't be beat. However, rn my mind is focused on maximal efficiency of batt life, so keeping the drag coefficient down to the minimal is a priority for me rn. As to your design ref ( >>44516 ), I can see pursuing this once the cart waifu project is rolling see what I did there? :) and I can use it as a mobile boom system (cf. common robit overhead gantrys atm) to begin dev'g bipedal cardboard waifus...I mean to have full 2x trucks + 4wheels ea. as the basic footgear for her.

>>44546 >cardboard Why cardboard? Shouldn't you pick something more durable?
>>44547 Well, A) I have a metric sh*tetonne of cardboard saved up now, after @Kiwi's ebin post on the topic, and B) I want to do fast IRL prototyping of leg forms that are basically throwaway essays as we find economical & sturdy approaches. I hope that makes sense, Anon. I'm sure once some pics from the process come out, then it will be more clear still. >tl;dr It's cheap & durable (as long as you keep it dry).
>>44549 I guess you could try to create some kind of composite with it to improve its durability. But if it's only for prototyping it might work, maybe even moreso for skating waifus because you're at higher risk of having them crash and damage themselves.
>>44550 Exactly. That's it you've got it, Anon. Cheers. :)

Pretty good overview of the current situation in robotics research and looking forward: https://xcancel.com/DrJimFan/status/2052758642781487237 Expect robots trained on orders of magnitude more data to come out within the year. Some of these methods are how GENE26.5 pulled off its highly impressive demos recently. https://www.genesis.ai/blog/gene-26-5-advancing-robotic-manipulation-to-human-level I expect dexterity and longer time horizon tasks of their like to be common place in the next year. They're using the Chinese WUJI hand but didn't disclose it in this article, which to me, means Chinese parts + an open model is going to be sufficient in a year for many usecases.
