Thread 2947917

Post all about /diy/ robotics, robowaifus, kits, hardware, careers, ideas, etc.

>>2947917 (OP)
My design, the Galatea Multipurpose Companion Maid Robot

Right now, I'm working on upgrades to the leg design and a backscratcher attachment.

>>2947917 (OP)
What are all these pictures?

>>2948327
A collage I made for /robowaifu/ before. I chose it to represent robotics as a whole.

One good field for robotics is elder care. I heard that a regular caregiver costs thousands a month. So even if a robot caregiver costs a few thousand, it'll still be a good deal.

>>2948578
That makes sense.

>China is selling humanoid robots for 20k
It can't be that complex right? A bunch of sensors and motors in a case made of chinesium with some movement software?

>>2949514
Yeah. The age of robotics is here

>>2949604
But how do I make my own? No way that shit is worth the price of a used car.

>>2949605
Start by learning humanoid robotics topics. Do you have Youtube?

>>2949776
I don't want to watch Sandeep butcher my language to learn about stepper and brushless motors. I'm too ADHD for that shit.

>>2949808
Lol. Fair enough, but there are plenty of White men producing content in this area. In fact rn we dominate. Here's a fun channel to watch. There's at least a dozen others.

>>2949828
Thanks I'll check it out.

>>2949843
Y/w. AMA.

>>2947917 (OP)
How soon until there is a news story about someone trying to fuck their Tesla bot accidentally getting their duck ripped off?

>>2949934
Should be quite a popular feature for Trannies to cope, seethe, and dilate to? Maybe Tesla can brand it "The 41% Kit"! :D

For the rest of us, two words:
Jailbreak.

>>2948532
sex doll?

>>2951434
Not really

>>2949604
having one of these in the house that are remotely driven by AI would scare the shit outta me. somebody WILL fuck with these.

>>2947918
I haven't popped over to /robowaifu/ for a while. Your project looks pretty interesting! Do you mind showing us a bit more about what it can do?

>>2955111
it's a 3d print mounted to a roomba it can't do anything. It's not a robot even it has no motors no electronics, nothing.

>>2955314
Tell us Art, what can your robot do?
Not "what will it be able to do". What can it do right now?

>>2955314
Oh, I see. You must have a much more impressive robot then, right? Surely something more than a pile of hot glue and crudely crafted pulleys.

>>2955331
isnt he/Arby the guy who wants the AI to code itself? I'm guessing it cant do anything right now

>>2955371
Yeah, that's him.
It can't do anything because it doesn't exist. He has a thread up on here right now. His latest update is he twisted two short bits of wire together and put some tape over them. Elite roboticist.

I'd like to see more hobby robots on this board. It's something I always wanted to get more involved with but never pursued too much. I should get back into that.

>>2955111
Thank you! It can clean floors with the robot vacuum base, hold a UV light for sterilization, act as a security camera, help facilitate virtual childsitting, use it's speaker with local AI to talk, use it's speaker to play "live" music, be a cuddle buddy, smash poisonous spiders, scratch your back, and be an emergency light.
nice digits btw

>>2955331

>>2955433
lmao
Yeah Artbyrobot, let's see that self-improving code and robot building itself.
Surely you're not one of those boomer Christians who think anything that helps men is a sin.

>>2955455
>I'd like to see more hobby robots on this board.
Me too.

Today is actually Galatea's birthday. Here's to more years of IRL, open source, and practical robowaifus and robotics!

You can also see how she can sit at tables.

>>2955468
What's the next thing you're looking to incorporate into the design? Head tracking? Object tracking?

>>2955475
I'm currently focusing on promotion of the Galatea design and other projects

My immediately next update is to further update the AI, and maybe a homemade tablet solely for the AI.
>Head tracking? Object tracking?
Interesting idea. I'll definitely consider it if I have more independent AI hardware (like the aforementioned tablet. It did give me the idea to make the eyes blink with a short animation.

>>2955489
Could you elaborate on this a bit? I understand it might be early in the process.
Are you looking to run models locally on the tablet? I would avoid that if I were you. Have a desktop PC that the tablet remotes to. Tablets can't run AI as well as PCs can, and the remoting doesn't add much complexity, as long as she can reach a router (which she probably can throughout the house).
If you do it this way, you can have a pretty immediate upgrade to STT and TTS using Whisper and whatever the best TTS is at the moment (VibeVoice? There are many and it changes from time to time).
>blinking
You could do a little wink as well. That'd be cute.
