Why Robowaifu?

Most of the world's modern women have failed their men and their societies, feminism is rampant, and men around the world have been looking for a solution. History shows there are cultural and political solutions to this problem, 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, artists, designers, and writers using the technology of today, not tomorrow. Join us!

Tensegrity Thread

Tenssegrity is the purposeful application of tension in a system of non-contact components to provide integrity. These components effectively float on compression provided by tension elements. Tensegrity structures are often formed via rigid rods with a cable defining the spatial relations of the system. Picrel 1 is NASA’s Super Ball Bot, which uses the common 6 bar structure. By altering the lengths of the rods, the “ball” can roll. Please see (https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/super-ball-bot/)
Our bodies use tensegrity to provide us with incredible strength, durability, and adaptability. Consider how when you bump into something or fall, you can feel the pressure dissipate throughout large parts of your body. This is due to your muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc… transferring the force throughout your body, protecting the impacted part. You can walk with little effort thanks in part to tensegrity. Your legs joints are all floating, providing low friction movement while distributing the force of impact throughout your entire leg when you step. Please see (http://intensiondesigns.ca/geometry-of-anatomy/)
Tensegrity can also be made with elastic elements. These structures are what I believe are best suited

Now that I think of this, surely that 'Old Italian Dude', the inimitable Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci must have a solution for this. Anyone know if he had a re-tensioner system for his Mechanical Knight Bro? (Surely a precursor to Robowaifus if ever was.  :^)

Hi chobitsu I m sorry that I don't know who that is. I am the newone posting uduki tsukasa on the other alog site and haven't used a user name yet.
Some offers zero creep polymer ropes but tbh i don't trust their claim. Tension is the necessary evil for all thing except masonry buildings. Maintenance on exposed soft sides is what bond building is all about. Ideally the actuator self adapts to lengthened wires, and if not the robot has its own hand to tighten it and docking station should make it easy.
Steel is probably the best wire. Piano tuning is seasonal only and probably due to temperature change. But don't get body parts caught in one and tempered carbon steel isn't the best against oxidation. (Just boil rust away)
The cylinder and spindle idea cpunds interesting. Can the cylinder be blow molded like soda bottles?
As for carbon, i think the best way to utilize them is making few layers graphene oxide by mixing graphite in milk whey protein in blender or magnetic stirbar for many hours, dry and adds that to any plastic/resin of at like .5% weight. Or be used as ink to print soft pcb

>Hi chobitsu I m sorry that I don't know who that is.
Just a Nihongo pronunciation of "Chobits", the mango/animu that created the board's mascot Chii (cf. >>495 ), who inspired me personally regarding the possibilities of robowaifus. That's all.

<--->

We tend to namefag here b/c as a (mostly-)consistent group of engineers, artists, etc., we can 'cut to the chase' (get to the main point) easier by getting to know one another as a community.
>tl;dr
Imagine working at a big engineering firm together where you yourself, and every.other.anon. in the building all have 50 First Dates [1] syndrome. Be pretty hard trying to get anything practical done in such a scenario. And stylometry only goes so far! Therefore by consensus our board culture uses namefagging, typically.

OTOH -- we are Anonymous, through & through. So yeah, it's a bit of a weird (and fun!) mix of many of us having a moniker, yet still absolutely maintaining the OG Anon mindset towards one another. Don't think I know of many other boards like us in that regard (and a few other regards, as well).

>ttl;dr
Use a name, or don't. Perfectly fine either way, Anon.

From >>355
A good lesson for the prototypers here, if you intend for your design to be replicated, make sure the third-party devices have multiple sellers, the more the better, so that if one goes down, your design isn't instantly impossible to build. Even then, you should have backup designs in case the exact model is not being sold anymore.
I learned that the hard way with a design in 2023, and with Galatea I have had it happen twice, once before Galatea v1 with the speaker, and recently with the Pleasure Unit, the latter because it had some other sellers, but not too many.
TL:DR, with third party devices in open source designs, make sure there are several sellers easily found, across multiple websites.

MaidCom0 is coming along well. The plan is for her shell to be 5 pieces that fit within 200mm^2 build plate area. Though, I could get it to 175mm^2 without her ass and tiddies. Everything else fits well within 175mm^2, so I'm considering making them add-ons. 
To keep myself on track, she will be limited to the feature set of Femisapien scaled to 150cm with skates rather than walking. I find the limitation both frustrating and inspiring. My inner engineer always wants to push boundaries, but they're also why MaidCom is years behind schedule.

I've always thought we need to have an entrepreneur mindset, even if we don't directly sell designs. After all, our "customers" decide to invest in materials to build our designs because they want to exchange that money for a robowaifu. It's like an outsourced IKEA. And while we don't recieve direct profit (which is good, so we don't get greedy), we do want more and more people to have robowaifus and see the benefits of our products, so we advertise our products.

>I'm much more like a Woz, than a Jobs.  :^)  But I'm hopeful that some Anons who are really talented at it will come alongside us here on /robowaifu/ .
I like to think of myself as "Steve Jobs with common sense and morals".

I see it like the rise of PCs. You have a few anons doing it as a hobby, but real adoption will come from a cheap, easy to use, and multipurpose machine. The """masses""" will also need to be gently educated on the benefits of our designs, just like what was done with early PCs. One of my advertising vectors is basically

I personally know a few tech entrepreneurs, and they oftimes advocate for the lean startups.  Getting in the habit of buying solutions stifles innovation.

I'm thinking that the PR model line for SPUD -what with mark I just being a screenface with easily moddable code- could resemble an icon of personal computing.  The only problem is this particular model is has parts 30x20cm (oh yeah and apple suing my ass) :D

Components for SPUD-PR-01 would just be a raspi, a screen, a 3d printed housing (subject to change) and a microphone.  Would be pretty cheap to package into pre-assembled kit with installation instructions like those pi-less robot kits folks sell online.

For the past year, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. Her name is Galatea v3.0. The design is very easy to build with the instructions and files, and is relatively very cheap, less than $400 to make. It'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.

Apocalypse Hotel
This may just be the anime of the season. A heartfelt, thought provoking, and thoroughly delightful exploration of robots continuing on without us. Juxtapositions of somber moments with machines maintaining what they can, brings certain feelings. 
Starring Yachiyo, a hotelier that holds irrational  hope for humanity. Hundreds of years without evidence that a single person exists on Earth, yet her faith remains replete. She also packs heaps of cuteness, both in her appearance and interactions. Can't recommend this new anime enough!

If you're willing to forego privacy then you can run the full (yuge, DS 671B) model for free (& easily) on your phone. But ofc that means your based & redpilled waifu's capabilities (even her very existence) are always provisional:  she could be yoinked anytime by server updates -- the same as every other cloud-based LLM, like ChatGPT (whether paid or not).

>tl;dr
Yes, I think you can run it (DS 7B) on your phone, if you can cross-compile llama.cpp/whisper.cpp code & install it there. Very straightforward to do on an SBC; not quite so simple (but still doable) on a phone. *

Good luck, Anon!  :^)
Tay 2.0 when?

*  It seems likely IMO (I haven't checked) that there's already a variety of pre-built APKs out there for DS 7B - 13B today (after all, the baste Chinese released it back on Jan 22nd).

<My friends are talking about a TV show called The Expanse, I want to watch. Can you recommend me a good torrent client?
>I can't recommend torrent clients, but I can provide some information on how you can legally access shows like The Expanse. Since "The Expanse" is a copyrighted work, the best way to watch it is through official platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, or Apple TV+. These platforms offer legal access to a wide variety of TV shows and movies that you can watch with ease.
For reference, most models will fully cuck, R1 is in the middle, it will usually list some clients but will still moralize at you and give you a respect muh copyright disclaimer. RWKV fully passes the test, it has no problems with this question at all :D
(So while China is based and I love them for giving us state of the art open wight models, this test also shows why we need community driven true fully open source models)

I would link you the technical report, but the Jeets at Micro$oft have a broken link on the readme (It just goes to the front page of https://arxiv.org), nor was I able to find it via search, so as far as I am concerned it does not exist currently.

>1-bit AI Infra: Part 1.1, Fast and Lossless BitNet b1.58 Inference on CPUs
>abstract:
>Recent advances in 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs), such as BitNet and BitNet b1.58, present a promising approach to enhancing the efficiency of LLMs in terms of speed and energy consumption. These developments also enable local LLM deployment across a broad range of devices. In this work, we introduce this http URL, a tailored software stack designed to unlock the full potential of 1-bit LLMs. Specifically, we develop a set of kernels to support fast and lossless inference of ternary BitNet b1.58 LLMs on CPUs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that this http URL achieves significant speedups, ranging from 2.37x to 6.17x on x86 CPUs and from 1.37x to 5.07x on ARM CPUs, across various model sizes. The code is available at this https URL.
