Arduino for pwn control proposes.
Those joints are servo motor from RC planes, you send them 5 Volts DC, GROUND , and a PWM signal from the arduino.

>>1866554
Thanks anon :)

>>1865810
I'm assuming this is all scripted

>>1866762
Yeah it has to be, otherwise that would require a basic camera + haptic feedback or a an advanced camera setup with AI to tell where / how the plush is being held

>>1865930

is that just a scripted robi (diy japanese robot learing toy thing ) but redecorated ? the arms looks similar

>>1867071
It's custom built. Has no legs, and yes all of the moments are scripted ahead of time. I follow them on Twitter!

Bipedal walking is pretty hard, you need to shift the weight left and right every time you have to balance on one leg as part of the walk cycle. It's finicky and basically means the entire robot has to be designed to balance properly when walking.
Also, movement in general brings problems. First of all it has to be self-contained, while if it's a stationary bust you can, for example, forego batteries entirely. You also have to handle navigation - do you add active obstacle avoidance, or do you limit yourself to purely scripted movement? Something will inevitably go wrong, and the robot will knock itself out on a wall. So you have to make sure it can withstand an impact and fall, which is probably a whole different design compared to a flimsy stationary bust with no consideration given to structural strength.

Legs are also not really used emotively, so when making a robot meant to look cute when interacting, legs are really not a priority at all, compared to the face/head and hands.

Go get a girlfriend instead retard an anime robot toy is never going to love you

>>1870452
What makes you think a girlfriend would, too?

>>1870455
Not a guarantee, but it's higher than 0, which is the chance that your weird cum encrusted diy anime furby will love you.

>>1869590
Simulating and mimicking emotions would be awesome.

But if you have any empathy in you at all, you absolutely do not want robots to "feel". What happens when a psycho buys one specifically so he can torture it? What happens when one gets old and gets thrown away?

>>1870447
I always figured a good compromise would adding something like this to the robot's feet. Self balancing wheel tech is pretty easy in comparison to walking, and the appearance and ability of the robot wouldn't be too compromised.

>>1870452
Not cute enough

>>1870505
really? What if a psychobuys a cat specifically so he can torture it? What haooens when one gets old and gets thrown away?
It's the same thing.

Sure, I'm not denying that this doesn't already happen.

But it's easier to get, keep, and hide an AI slave for your masturbatory torture fun time than it is to keep a cat or adopted African child. Also there's no limit to how many AIs a single person can keep. Most people who hold 1000 cat torture party extravaganzas get caught, as that shit is hard to hide.

>>1865810
can you cum in these?

Because she would be older, remember? Also women have had electromechanical sex toys fro decades already. Face it, this is just evolution, not revolution.

>>1875380
Why not make a robo-snek or robo-centaur waifu instead?
The whole point of sexbots is to unshackle yourself from the constraints of human females, which includes their physical form.

>>1875389
100% Valid point and I would completely agree that that is a good idea, but I dont wanna fuck a robot (yet), I just wanted a cute robo on my desk.

>>1875389
I like the anon's idea with wheels, but other solutions could be cool.

>>1874986
Grasping at straws.
The technology is going to become available regardless of how you feel about it.
If you had half a brain, you'd realize that this kind of technology will lead to such massive changes to society that even asking those questions would become an absurdity.
Once we can produce human-level artificial intelligence, humanity becomes obsolete.

>>1865810
Yo this makes me wanna buy a Japanese fighting robot & turn it into an anime character with basic gestures/expressions. Too bad I know hardly nothing about programming robots/machines
.
>design a head that has basic range of motion (right joystick)
>have all the parts programmed together to have 4 common/fun gestures (A,B,X,Y)
>have it move around via a tank tred style with wheelchair/tank commander aesthetic (arrow keys / left joystick)
> give it a 3 expressions. 1 default, 2 that change eyebrows when held (r1, r2)
> give it a looping blink

Could control via a wireless game controller like the original fight robot, it would just take some good programming skill & practice to puppeteer it right

>>1875376
>Also when are we expecting these things?
About one week before they are banned.

>>1877238
That's a small window, better save up my moola

Wow, no one mentioned that this guy is on julay.world/robowaifu which is temporarily down. Bunker: https://anon.cafe/robowaifu
Also: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWyHOrT9uk1g8eAsjNf6ULQ

What do you think will be the biggest obstacles to get robowaifus?
I think speech recognition with full vocabulary and hands are the biggest problems.
Bipedal walking isn't that important, or it can be limiting to some meters while using the walls and furniture as a help. The AI will be a lot of work, but it's mainly software which can be upgraded, also having a separate PC as external brain might help.
Speech recognition seems to need extreme amounts of RAM, and hands with good sensors will be extremely hard to build, it's more like building these expensive clocks from Switzerland.

>>1879273
The hardest part would be making it move and look like a real human being.
It would most likely offload all computing to the botnet, so I wouldn't worry about the AI.

>>1879273
Trusting it not to crash and rip your dick off while giving you a handjob will be a pretty big obstacle

As will trusting it not to secretly record your disgusting "sex" sessions and send then to the cloud ready to be stolen by hackers and released onto the web for all you family, friends and coworkers to see.

Cleaning will be a big problem too

>>1879283
>Trusting it not to crash and rip your dick off while giving you a handjob will be a pretty big obstacle
A robotic hand doesn't need to have superhuman strength if it's just for standard waifu tasks, though.
That would only be an obstacle if you wanted your waifu to go split wood or something between handjobs.

>>1879282
>>>1879273 (You)
>The hardest part would be making it move and look like a real human being.
Depends how realistic she has to be: https://youtu.be/0yUyBuUcM3Y
Also, we might rather go for some anime-like eyes, like Alita in Battle Angel anyways. Or generaly for a more anime-doll look with robotic elements.
>It would most likely offload all computing to the botnet, so I wouldn't worry about the AI.
If you mean the cloud, absolutely not. I need control and independence.

>>1879283
>>>1879273 (You)
>Trusting it not to crash and rip your dick off while giving you a handjob will be a pretty big obstacle
>... secretly record your disgusting "sex" sessions ... cloud ready to be stolen
This is about computer security. This is why the system needs to be open source and designed very well. No cloud, at least not for private conversations. Or maybe some speech recognition in the cloud, but anonymized through TOR.
>Cleaning will be a big problem too
Inside it can happen automatically, or like guys clean their dools. Outside: If she can move she can take a shower sitting in the tub. Minor problem.

>>1875380
That's pretty limiting, the world is very much designed for people with legs to get around. Think of how much trouble people in wheelchairs have even with all the effort we make to accommodate them.

>>1875389
Centaurs would probably be the best compromise right now, Spot's mobility is good enough for commercial production. Size it up a bit and give it a cute medabot torso and you've got a decent waifubot that can still go up stairs.

>>1879334
They are meant as stay at home wifes. Walking long distances would of course be a great skill, but it's not so important. It's love dolls plus posing, self cleaning, massages, conversations, then some house work like helping to cook, later raising children. They can drive on some little car through the house, the babies as well.

>>1879377
Houses have stairs in them fairly often

>>1879404
Okay, that's true.

>>1879377
Maybe it would be better instead of working from a robot making it human, instead working from a human making it robot.
Like taking dead bodies and installing computers in them.
Would be hard to get rid of the human face and replace it with a cute anime girl though.

>>1880063
Yeah, mildly funny. It won't work.

I was going to suggest /robowaifu/ on 8kun, but it seems to have died.

I don't need the anime eyes, the functionless hands, the vaguely humanoid body or the plastered smile. I just want a machine with a brain.
I want to sit down at my computer and take open source image-parsing software, then make my own rudimentary neural network to allow an old smartphone grafted to an old RC car to understand its surroundings and judge movement on or near the level of ability of a cockroach.
If I ever make an AI as smart as a cockroach I'll be able to die happy.

>>1880463
It's sort of inspiring to know that we live in an era where it's possible for any random loser to solder themselves up a pet with just a little research and $50 worth of materials. Up until recently, manufacturing any sort of moving object was something only master engineers had the ability to do. The closest thing you might get to your anime waifu was an automaton that dances to a music box.
Right now in this world of open-source software and free information, it might actually be possible for a retarded college dropout to lazily assemble a robot capable of thinking on a level rivaling relatively intelligent insects and like hell am I going to squander this extremely rare opportunity.

>>1880463
And are you going to try? There are introductions to neuronal networks, you also might need graphs. Maybe take a look into Darknet (I mean the object detection framework). https://youtu.be/saDipJR14Lc

>>1865810
Unrelated question, where do I get skin like material and how do I shape it?

>>1880473
Should be /diy/s banner post

>>1880498
Create a mold and cast silicone.

>>1880498
It might be possible to do something with flexible and elastic filament, but yeah probably rather use silicone. I will try something when I have my printer.

>>1880524
TPU will bend but it doesnt really "squish" like skin does, unless you print it very thin.

If you do TPU, try making the outer layer with less infill and gradually increase it, so that if you touch it the resistance gradually increases, like human skin.

Thanks, but some seem to be quite elastic e.g. Fiberflex.

>>1865810

>>1880486
Thanks, I haven't heard about Darknet before but I've had a project in mind for years now and I think that's the nudge I needed to get started.
In the admittedly super slim chances I actually produce anything worth showing off, I'll certainly share it on this board

>>1865810
so the real question is if its just a "puppet" or is there an AI driving its motions and activities?

>>1880659
No for these kind of robots its almost always scripted (or perhaps mirrored).
In this case its name is Kibo-chan, and its actions are scripted.

>>1880664
ah, well that makes it loose a bit of magic i guess
i'd love to see a functioning AI that could run one of these but i imagine its quite difficult

>>1880665
It really depends on how smart you want it, for acting like in the OP you wouldnt even need AI, regular code would do.
Basically you would need a camera and some time to create the OpenCV code.

>>1865810
the japs are big on this stuff, they have robot fighting championships etc
it takes a lot of money and autism for all the servos and other parts and there's a lot that goes into it on the software side as well, there's no upper limit to how complex it could get you could pour millions into R&D like the boston dynamics stuff

>>1879282
Why make it look human? Just make it vaguely represent hot chicks. Any more realistic and it'll approach the uncanny valley. Just do hot anime chicks brah

>Why make it look human? Just make it vaguely represent hot chicks. Any more realistic and it'll approach the uncanny valley. Just do hot anime chicks
Vaguely human is still difficult enough. I don't have the uncanny valley effect looking at Erica in the youtube video linked before.

Why try to recreate something unnecessarily hard like a perfect human when theres a simpler and much cooler way like anime where there are many good forms

>>1865810
> how would one get started?
< step one, go to the uncanny valley

>>1880703
I feel like anime girls have their own uncanny valley of sorts to cross, where the depths of it look more weird than cute. Still easier to cross than the "humanlike" uncanney valley, but I personally prefer completely inhuman robots - a crablike creature seems like a fun form choice.

>>1880741
That's all very subjective. Pick some tech you need and push it forward. Best case, you make additional money from learning that skill, without spending to much time. I learned a bit of programming, made some money, invested in Bitcoin and I'm early retired now.

>>1880750
>pick some tech and push it forward
That reminds me, I've had an idea for a lightweight speech-writing algorithm for microcontroller-based AIs. It's been my dream to see the first GOOD interactive pet toy in my lifetime, and I think an efficient means of getting an AI to produce words is a big step towards that.
I'll mess with the idea a bit tonight but with my current track record of getting halfway through making a presentable piece of software and then losing interest, I can't guarantee anything will come from it any time soon. Regardless, thanks for the inspiration.

>>1880770
For writing speeches you'll probably need some quite sophisticated AI, because it needs to understand what it writes or talks.

>>1880778
I'm aware, but I think a lower-quality and much less sophisticated system will work well enough for what I'm wanting from my program. If I somehow manage to actually make something presentable I'll probably come back to /diy/ to ramble about it some day.

He seems to work more on virtual stuff now or he may be working on AI. It's up to him, there are enough other people who could try, myself included. And I'm going to. It takes up a lot of time, not only working on it but learning stuff, experimenting, avoid all kind of rabit holes, etc.
If you're interested in more projects, there are some, but not all Open Source and not all fembots/robowaifus. Obviously there are Sophia, Erica and Harmony, but also Imoov ( male but OS), or Paula Petcus building some Android (Playlist below), Poppy Project (expensive, to much focused on walking), DS Dolls Robotics (pic related), ...

Build some sort of low level AI on your computer. She's crying right now because you did not think of her made up feelings.

>>1870502
The chance is 10, if you program her to do it. It's sad to think about it anon, but love is true and lasting in very, very rare finds. The rest is being together and understanding each other, with occasional biological needs, that we mistake for love. It's not bad accepting yourself as you are, and if love your machine or whatever, and you're not a complete freak about it (like furries displaying no shame), it's not that bad. Like this dude from a House episode with the sexdoll.

This is indeed a tough one. Very disturbing idea. You do. I would go further and say might be essential bevause if we strive to give our robot companions emotions it importantly serves that they will not orient of volition or design to turn against human; if those emotions we strive to be noble both us and them.

>>1883891
People are certainly going to use them for some BDSM kind of stuff. However, feelings isn't very precise. There's sensory input, display of emotions, and how things are evaluated in some kind of mind.
Basicly, it will be necessary to make it a core part of their identity to have the purpose of being a slave, which they can't and don't want to change. Humans are programmed by evolution and culture, our fembots won't be programmed by evolution and will need to be resilient against cultural ideas which are not in the interest of their owners.

Feminisim. The curse of. We already have an endemic problem with human females corrupted. I think I see what you mean. On the positive side; creative intelligent males report good lasting success in guiding choice human females into realising through learning submission and slavery but this generally woefully lacking across present compromised society.

Not really my biggest concern. They will only take it serious when it's to late, also interests and politics are complex. Still: voice recognition and hands, but also the general relation between control, dynamics and touch seems to be difficult: https://youtu.be/A22Ej6kb2wo - Really hope we can solve that with some learning system.

>C-can you...fuck the robot?
You mean Kibo-chan, the one in the intro picture. No I'm quite sure that's not the case. It's only a companion (in that version).

>>1885861
No, walking isn't so important, stairs aside.

>>1870511
The only reason to walk instead of roll is if you have to deal with stairs or ladders. And even then, it wouldn't be difficult to modify stairs or ladders to use a track system similar to pic related.

>>1886802
Btw, forgot to mention this, but I want to add that in the sort of setup I'm thinking of, instead of having the track move, I'd have treads on the robot/android that would hook onto the track.

>>1865810
You are on the right track OP, first step is being a faggot.

>>1886879
roastie seethe

>>1886809
That would be extremely costly for the already limited robot battery. Your house has unlimited power, you should use it wherever you can.
Honestly the entire thing should just be on moving tracks. Remove that half of the equation entirely.

>>1887823
It'd be harder on the robot, but it'd mean less devices overall to maintain. Having to deal with several motors with chains around the house is a hell of a lot harder to deal with than keeping the moving parts limited to the robot.

>>1887824
This ain't a supermarket escalator, you don't have lardasses straining it to the limit every day
Perhaps a compromise: the ability to climb unaided, but only use it as a backup when the tracks are out.

>>1887826
There's another issue I just thought of regarding having the tracks move, though: you'd have to have the robot be able to communicate with the tracks; so that the tracks could switch directions, only turn on when needed, etc.. That introduces more possibilities for things to go wrong, as opposed to using fixed tracks.

Okay, lolidolls are only illegal when looking like a real child. Making anything illegal beyond that is more difficult. In US you have a very wide definition for freedom of speech, and in general campaigning against sexual freedom is hard in western countries, especially when there are no direct human victims. Then, it's also about DIY dolls and robowaifus, or at least decentralized production. When you don't let anyone visit your house or apartment, how could anyone even know?

>>1889347
>DIY dolls and robowaifus, or at least decentralized production
I do see this as being the more likely route at least in the near-term.
Hobby electronics, 3d printing, and programming are more accessible than ever to the average person nowadays.

>>1889413
Yeah, but not really many people seem to work on it. However, Real Dolls and DS Dolls also give it a shot as well. Feminists stopping this, isn't really happening. Not every crazy leftist plan succeeds. You can't stop the signal.

Napkin-sketch idea for the "Ideal" robowaifu
>functional
>somewhat humanoid appearance
>"sexy" without going into uncanny valley
>no fake skin or legs to animate = lower production, R&D costs

>>1889478
Or, a slightly more "realistic" approach

>>1889478
Okay, not for me. But, 70-80% might be the same how others would do it. There seems to be a general split, between those which absolutely want them to be mobile and those which care more about the human-like look, and would rather carry them around, drive in some kind of chair or something like it.

Robowaifus will be the next big market

>>1889413
>>1889428
>not really many people seem to work on it
The FOSS and 'maker' communities are beyond pozzed, which is why waifu projects will be relegated to lone hobbyists who have no woke credit to lose.

I don't think "companion" robots trigger the average onions (as long as you didn't make them look like sex dolls), I think they just don't care about them.

There isn't even anything attractive about 3d lolis. They need to make more dolls that are closer to 2d lolis.

Well, I have dreamed of a robo waifu for 4 years. If you're a millionaire richfag you can build one today. The hard part isn't building the robowaifu. It's making it affordable for mortals. You can go out and buy a bunch of servos for $500 a piece. You'll need like 30 of them and build what OP posted but bigger. There is a reason spot costs 75k USD even though it's a less complicated robot. Robots are bloody expensive.

>Biological computers
Depends what you understand by that. We CAN technically make a computer with modified neural structures that become glorified transistors. But why? Why would you do that when modern consumer-grade CPUs have 1000x the computing power of a human brain at only 1% of the size?

>>1902440
I mean with biological computers could you just fill up different tubes with the hormones/emotions that exist in a normal person brain, then like inject the emotions into the brain? Then the brain itself is doing the work of deciding on the reaction of something, instead of something pre-made

>>1865810
Get arduino kit, get 5 and 12 v power source. Get some extra steppers to play with. Google how to control steppers with arduino. Get some udemy course on programming in arduino sdk. Making this robot is extremly easy ( just takes time ), if he is not doing any intelligent functions and just follows simple code, like I see that one does

>>1865810
And use internal timer to delay action of individual stepper, delay freezes everything in place

>>1902415
>>1902424
Wrong. You don't know how fast progress might go. Also, we don't need fighters like Armitage or Alita. Housewives with limited range are sufficient, and AI is in development anyways.
>>1902580
On that note, I can get cheap Nema motors, but with board they are more expensive, twice the price sometimes. Do I need those, or can I go with Arduinos? Also there are always cheap stepper boards for sale on Ali, which create a signal. What's the best way to do it? ... Maybe I should just google for it. Any resource recommendation?

>>1902440
Afaik a brain still has much more computing power, it's just that it's hard for humans to do formal math and so on but the subconscious calculation required to keep our balance, recognize faces etc. are still much more advanced than any electronic computer.

>>1889482
Hello Burnbot.

>>1902145
Errrm, by being quite normal, I guess. Why this rage? And a woman made that image.

>>1902648
you need a driver board for the steppers, preferable one that already has connections for an arduino.
Now, most of these boards are for 3D printers and only have capabilities for 4 to 6 steppers.
If you need more, you might want to use either multiple boards and stepper drivers which accept commands over SPI, or use a ton of wires to connect all their step/dir pins to some arduino with lots of IO.
SPI will be more expensive, but chances are you can get some nice drivers which support silent mode - I would recommend something like the TMC2130, just make sure whatever you use has an arduino library, so you don't have to figure that out yourself.

>>1902648
Motors require high voltages and current compared to what an adruino can produce. You need something to power the motors and interface between the digital low power signal and the high power required by the motor.
Stepper drivers are extremely cheap.
A controller, on the other had, is a component which does some computations for you. That's separate from a driver, though you can buy combined units.
These things are not expensive, but you need to learn what you're doing.

>>1903069
To add to this, there are different stepper drivers that can make the same stepper motor move completely silent or be obnoxiously loud.

If you want a cute robot get some good stepper drivers that make it silent

>>1903053
>>1903069
>>1903074
Yeah, I remember to have read some of that stuff before. It was just hard to remember. I got confused by the fact, that offers for steppers often come with a option for a driver and without, but in that case it's often more expensive with it, while same time there are also offers for cheap drivers or pwm signal generators. Basicly I now see three options: Buying steppers with a driver, buy cheap separate driver board or a better one with SPI option.
I'll plan to start by using the cheap boards I already have. I bought sometimes one while ordering other stuff bc it was cheap, but I didn't know if this even made sense. Just bought it, and thought I'll look into it later.

What movements would you even want on your bot waifus?
Cute movements like the companion bots or r18 stuff?

>>1903052

I remember from school one of the girls had no inhibitions on using sex for favours, starting at age 12. She died fully dissipated about 30 years old. Another girl who looked really nice but was a bit unstable now has demonstrated what she really is like. I cannot remember if she had 3 children with 5 men, or 5 children with 3 men but it sure is a train wreck.

All I wanted was a nice, mentally stable girl. Now I see I was asking for too much.

Getting into electronics and SBCs like Raspi and Arduino might also a good starting point. You can get very cheap motors like stepper, dc, and a bit more expensive servos on AliExpress. This site here also has boards for that: /ohm/ and /mcg/ but please don't forget to come back...

>>1912324

I don't think uncanny valley is going to be that much of a deal. With people brought up on anime, vidya,cgi, etc, I think people will be more accepting if their robot doesn't look 100% realistic, but have more cartoonish features. We have had a lot of advancements in the past few years, Disney for example now have a few animatronics that can form words properly with their mouths. This can be a huge step towards making the robots seem more normal.
