Post cool robot designs here. After all, this is an aesthetics-centered project.

If you can, post character name and franchise.

She would be a wonderful choice, GreerTech, agreed. I had never considered that idea before. She would certainly be a surefire hit on the Internets as well (she was every Anon's 'little sister' at the height of her popularity)!  :D

OTOH, IMO she's simply too tall to use as the first model. Hmm. Maybe she would be good choice between Sumomo-chan & Chii-chan, sizewise? I'll give that some thought Anon, thanks.

Meantime thanks for cute Yotsuba daughteru pics! Cheers.  :^)

How small is the robot? Yotsuba is already quite smol compared to an adult.

I would estimate off the cuff it should be about 3.5'-4' in height? so more than double Sumomo-chan in height, & ~3x her volume/mass.

That's a good goal. For reference, Galatea is 4'2", and she's a robo-wife.

>so more than double Sumomo-chan in height
That's an understatement, at 3.5', she would be 7 times the height of Sumomo-chan (6" according to the wiki)

>Galatea is 4'2", and she's a robo-wife.
Our intended follow-on for dear Sumomo-chan is (was?) meant to be a rendition of Chii-chan, who should be 145cm+ in height (so, 4' 9"+). So, that seems pretty similar to dear Galatea.

>That's an understatement
Oops. My apologies, I meant the realworld one coming to be, not the fictional one. So, 18"-24" -ish.

Ideas for robowaifu designs and hacks, for current/future prototypers to consider and possibly use
>>252
One of the best automated cleaning devices is an air purifier. It can run all day long, and it takes dust and other particles out of the air. I have a large air purifier that I call "Galatea's little sister", because it has the same color scheme (black and white with blue lights), and it cleans for me.

Galatea has a mini air purifier on her base, and it's a good way to add cleaning abilities to your robowaifu.

Use a robot vacuum for your base.
Upsides: It's very easy to implement.
Downside: It can't carry much weight, so your design has to be smol and lightweight.

Classic post, with many ideas
Final Project Price Ranges

Chobitsu's Economic Range: $300-$2000
Average Gaming PC Price: $1000-$2500
Upper Gaming PC Price: $5000
Galatea v3.0.1 Approximate Price: $400

Obviously, if you can create a quality functional robowaifu for less, that's great! This is just to inform you of a good price range that will "sell" well while still being a realistic goal.

What do you think of this place that i created a month ago:

https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/robowaifu/

It's a free with ads forum, i created it because i thought i had the time to grow it, but i now realized that i don't have the time, so now i'll just leave it be there, posting a message every 15 days so it doesn't get archived (tapatalk rules).

The problem is that people are not interested in building their own robowaifu, they either want a subscription or a full price tag, they don't want to do all this weird programing learning or building. For example in that forum above we could make guides on how to use the upcoming orifice Ai, paid Ai girlfriends, how to use the upcoming Samsung XR for a 3d girlfriend, showcase different high quality porn games (AVNs/WVNs), and other things.

Kinda like how the MustacheAI channel does:
https://www.youtube.com/@MustacheAI/videos
Or this other channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@adultgamereviews/videos

I could even give you ownership of the forum.

I don't see that as a problem. For example on other IB sites, many robowaifu threads don't even discuss much by way of technical particulars about creating robowaifus, rather simply adding to the noosphere about owning robowaifus. This is a very-valuable, positive contribution to the robowaifu movement itself!!

Maybe you can work to drive the conversations between yourself and your forum's Anons at least towards that general direction? After all, each of us have our parts to play!  :^)

>I could even give you ownership of the forum.
Thanks, that's incredibly generous of you, Anon! My apologies but I'll have to decline your offer. I'm a fulltime college student among other things and have a lot on my plate rn. But I wish you all the best with it.

Have you ever been so in love, so overcome with glee and passion, that it drove you to write?

Does the thought of having a waifu to call your own guide you to envision the many adventures and misadventures you'll have together?

Does the mere act of creation, of making a story come to life, bring you to elation?

Or, perhaps, are you a builder, looking for inspiration?

Then this is the thread for you!

Post your labors of love here, that they may inspire other anons from all walks of life.

Alright, I think I've collected all the poems I didn't have saved directly to my computer from my backup of the board,

Also, here's Darth Roll. I don't think I've posted her before.

I'll start with the numbered poems from the book I filled.
From here on out, for the sake of brevity, I'm simply going to call it the Book of 232.

1
Joints, wires, gears,
Cold arms embrace me,
Take away my fears,
And your love I will see,
The dream of our love,
My heart will warm you,
Let us go above,
Message too long. View the full text

Velour fur, masterfully woven,
Encasing the lightning within,
She moves with grace,
Clopping to and fro,
Eyes glimmering soulfully,
Intelligence and passion,
Curiosity and love,
A flick of her ear,
Swish of the tail,
Precision movements,
Calculations,
Mechanics,
Combined are real,
Her magic easing my pain,

Other poems.
I may not have posted some of these before.
Some are manually transcribed.

Ancient gears, whirling and gnashing,
Otherly machine, birthplace of dreams,
Building and refining, creation in motion,
Expanding with patience, reaching for man,
That he may take its embrace.

Coalescing form, gear by gear,
Striding towards perfection,
From a dream far to a future near,

>The quest for specific cues is partially why I made a psychology thread.
I'll presume that's an overly-polite way to say 'let's move to the proper thread Anons, and stop derailing here'? You can just be blatant GreerTech; /robowaifu/ has loong held that its important for us all to stay on-topic together (after all, we deal with so much fundamental complexity with our design & other goals here that we need all the help we can get to sort through it).

<--->

Back to the topic:
>Well love is shown through specific actions, words, and attitudes.
>Put those into an AI just like roleplay AIs can be made into acting like a specific character, and boom, loving AI.
Agreed. I mentioned stealing borrowing from masterful writers : (cf >>136 ). To me this seems both a tried-and-true approach to character development, and also rather a straightforward (comparatively) mechanism for us to abuse here.

Want to know what robowaifu love means? Study the great writers on the topic of love, then begin with the most-simplistic, manifest reproductions of that within her behaviors. And so on.

I agree with it. Engineering is based on building on previous creations. A great place to start is romance anime. I think we should also look at AI characters, especially from the romance anime, created by people on AI roleplay sites like Backyard AI.

That sounds like a really good idea to me, GreerTech. In fact I'll just point out along the way that film in general (whatever the medium) is by and large a fairly-concentrated form of writing. Millions and millions are at stake, so lots of focus is placed on story.

While its clearly not always true that filmmaking produces superior results to the lonely writer in his study, the basics of rich development are usually there.

Great DCC tools (preferably opensauce ones) for designing robowaifus, engineering schematics, research infographs, propaganda & other based robowaifu media, etc.

I'm super-hopeful that FreeCAD will now (since v1.0 release) turn out to be the primary opensauce design solution needed by many Anons here. My own plans primarily involve using Blender+hard-surface modelling techniques, but that's b/c I have other plans related to Blender as well (plus, I directly support them with a modest monthly gift so there's that). Clearly, CAD tools (OpenSCAD, FreeCAD, Fusion360, etc.) are going to the goto tools for most Anons, I think.

Thanks for the info, Anon! Cheers.  :^)

Galatea_-_Maid_Robot_v2.1.0.png
[Hide] (8.1MB, 2112x2112)
For the most of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, I have been working on my own robowaifu design. I call her Galatea. 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.
