Galatea Multipurpose Companion Maid RobotI made it to be easy to build as well easy to modify
XLeRobothttps://github.com/Vector-Wangel/XLeRobot
im warming up to it. Time to make the robot walk. Lets rock.
https://youtube.com/shorts/lhFtkBlsgO8i was on the fence whether to publish that video cause its kind of negative but here it goes
Where do I start if I want to make a cleaning droid?
>>2916229you mean a roomba or an android?youd start with the inmoov thats the best opensource robot with hands.it cant walk though but you can give ut wheels.As for the ai youd want to train the ai on dirt recognition to start off. That is thoussnds of pictures if durt along wuth reflection recognition(dirt absorbs light)>still waiting for the fall out of that robot waifu engineer comment lol
>>2916248well i did say id make the robot walk but if i make the blueprints theyd be paywalled behind the patreon under cc by(must attribute the source) so my name gets out there and stuff.
>>2916229Do you mean making a Roomba from scratch, or a humanoid helper?
>>2916337you know what thats fine lets make a roomba. so amazon has that ai worked out pretty well.in this case the beaglebone blone blue does work. You can connect up to 4 dc to it and 8 servos.youd need two dc for it to move around.then theres the lidar and go from there.
>>2916340forgot my name tagdunked
>>2916340You don't even need LIDAR
>>2916349ultrasonic sensors?then youd be inventing cause really roombas work with lidar.But that makes tgem more expensive though.
>>2916350The robot vacuum I use for Galatea uses simple bumpers. But Ultrasonics can work too. Also, the type I use has two motors for locomotion.
>>2916127Forgot my name here
>>2916352ultrasonic would be pretty crappy vs mapping the room with lidar but if its not a carpet house(which i think most houses arent these days) it could be more cost effective and could work with a lot of hacks. Ultrasonic sensors are dirt cheap.
>>2916362It's true that ultrasonic would be less effective, but it would be far cheaper and easier to use than LIDAR. Ever since I was a kid, I've seen robot kits with ultrasonic sensing that work pretty well. Stick a vacuum on and boom!Even iRobot (the creators of the roomba) agreed at first, until their competitors started using LIDAR, so they were basically forced to.
>tfw I don't know anything about robots but I have an overwhelming desire to build man-made horrors beyond human comprehension using these shits: https://youtube.com/watch?v=2GFyFmMm9-A
>>2916372that is probably based on this video right herehttps://youtu.be/EUEp-AfvvzEyou attack two strings to a servo to 3d printed tentacle pieces
>>2916466Monster girl robowaifus are possible!
humanoid and dog robots are completely useless vaporware crap
Coming from only having an electronics/embedded background, how feasible is making something like this? Having close to zero mechanical engineering knowledge, how would you approach this?
>>2919266hope jr robot is very similar and open source just copy thier stuff and tweak it a bit to fit this
>>2916125I was like wait wut, my Lapis is in there?Its been 8 years huh? It can still be worked on..Eventually I may finish it, I hit some difficult hurdles with it and took a break from it
>>2919266an engineering degree is 4-5 years. The robotwaifu is eternal. hell ive been at it for 2 years. Been programming for more years.>fuck my shit up senpaialso>adding wheels to legs instead of feetand also im studying linear algebra right now and trying to do things right.
>>2919705i dont know what it is about building a robot that doesnt intimidate me as much as it should. For example i wouldnt take apart my ac to fix the broken leds...
>>2919266I would say maybe a self-balancing segway-esque design. I don't know how close you have to stick to that design, but the large and presumably heavy body will be a problem. The wheels look like electric scooter wheels.Video from pichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W5S5nqRegUThere are other designs of self-balancing robot out there
>>2919439You should definitely continue work on it. If you're busy, you can go at a slow pace
why did they make car robot arms for making a burger
here is my discord https://discord.gg/V7SVqc44i would really like the company of some technical ppl.but be warned i can be really schizo.
>>2920749most shit could use a simple cartesian robots, but it isnt seen as cool or as modern
>>2923189just use deltassimple and cool
finally the best type of general has been made manifest! can anyone recommend me a good starting point for making simple gadgets, small simple robots and ultimately robowaifu? and also automation for smaller companies so I could potentially make moneys out of this (PLC coding and "big" components). current plan is to buy an arduino and grind slowly along with jewtube and chatgpt, but surely a million chad nerds simplified the process by now so that retards like me could digest it within a month. of course this also includes coding for more complex stuff which is why I'd like to learn how microchips work and then actual arduino coding. also this will further help me when making tiny stuff as I'm aware that arduino has huge potential on its own which in turns means "too much potential" for small stuff. main inspirations as of late:tiny rc stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@diorama111/videossimple animatronics: https://www.youtube.com/@Melonshu/videosanother thing that troubles me is where to order components. aliexpress takes 3-6 weeks to deliver anything to my shithole and it would be great if I could find a seller in europe even ifs tuff is more expensive.
>>2924578>not removing the protective film
Im someone interested in making a robot dog, I dont know anything about electronics or embedded engineering but I can code so I'm learning C and going through the make electronics books. I got a bunch of embedded devices like Raspberry Pi zero, pico, ESP32, STM32 Nucleo board.After that, would I need to learn ROS? Was thinking of getting something like this:https://store.freenove.com/products/fnk0050I saw something called SpotMicroAI which looks like what I want (https://spotmicroai.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) however I don't have a 3d printer and it doesn't seem to be up to date
>>2924578just get off brand arduino nano and code on it blinking lights and stuff to practice coding on it. Then use it to drive servos. >>2924621just buy bldc gear motors and driver board to go with that and buy arduino nano to drive the driver board with your arduino nano code. Then talk to the arduino nano board with a main brains pc such as rasberry pi or a mini itx gaming pc running c++ or w/e on windows or linux.
Thread reminder that robotwaifutechnician and Artbyrobot know less than nothing, and their opinions should be disregarded.
>>2924621You can get a robotics kit from AliExpress or Amazon. They can help you learn the basics of microcontroller robotics
>>2925023yeah lmao
i am about to buy parts for my first robot and the thing is that it's supposed to be a surface robot, 4-wheeled. depending on the surface, even if the robot will be relatively slow, it will shake/vibrate on the move, which will slowly kill the internals. how do i solve this? rubber rings surely won't be enough?
it's going to be a lightweight robot, so ridiculous shaking is given. then without some kind of isolation, it is supposed to die absolutely fucking immediately.do i literally have to be a mechanical engineer and at the same time a chemist to even start assuming about what kind of material would suit it and in what shape and form? i am just a progremmur
>>2928018No you don't you just need to team up. At my job I'm always amazed how thr codeboys can do the things they do and sit through what is the definition of hell for me for an entire day and they feel the same about the hardware people. When the codeboys have to work on a machine they remote into it and stay as far from the lab as possible but once in a while they want a small electronic or mechanical change or suspect a very simple defect and try to acrually touch one of the products and its always funny as hell everyone pretends not to be watching while they literally fight with one (1) simple screw or solder connection for 10 minutes before giving up and asking for helpIdk why this is but people are different and it's good that things are this way.Find your hardware guy, every hardware guy needs his software guy because code just makes them sick but today you dont get anywhere without software.
>>2928053I don't know how to read the law, it's likely gray area fun. Not some kind of a domestic terrorist, but authorities might get curious. Might not be easy to just find a hardware guy.
I need to know ass much as i can about arduino and servos
>>2928016>>2928018I think you are worrying more than is necessary. It's unlikely to die immediately unless you've done something really stupid.If it's your very first robot, it will survive long enough for you to get what you need from it (learning).
>>2928077Try and elaborate a bit more on what you're trying to do, and what you already know, and people might have more to give you.
>>2928138it's not going to be stupid, it's a super intelligent robot, very fast, with a dildo gun, it is supposed to be able to acquire only one target on earth, the most homosexual faggot ever existed the owner can think of. should be able to stream videos live while in action, idk, maybe on chaturbate.absolute menace, and it must not fail.wait, dildos. wouldnt that material suit the use case perfectly
so it was supposed to be fru-1, faggot rape unit 1.but the as a test it can be simpler i guess, it can be hcu-1, homo chase unit 1.a small autonomous car with a dildo mounted on top. and it needs a loud speaker which will announce on repeat "chasing the biggest homo in the world, chasing the biggest homo in the world, chasing the biggest homo in the world..."and it needs movement recognition, it then approaches the closest human it finds and starts to move the dildo back and forth, back and forth suggestively, contiuning to announce loudly "chasing the biggest homo in the world, chasing the biggest homo in the world, chasing the biggest homo in the world..."i think it would be an amazing use case
just imagine when it will be FRU-15000 TURBO ULTRA M3the future is bright
>>2928382>>2928392>>2928397wtf are you on about?
>>2928445FRU-15000 will recognize homosexuals by body language. But for now we can just have first recognized human lock-in for HCU-1. or HCU-1000 rather
>>2928139I know nothing and want to rotate, move stuff, i want things to happen, to give life to, to make something tangable.
>>2928490Do you have any programming experience?The guide that got me on my feet with hardware was Paul McWhorter's Arduino course on YouTube. It's definitely flawed in ways, but it really holds your hand and does things step by step exactly, which is useful if you really are starting from nothing. It's based around some $40 kit from Elegoo IIRC.
>>2928498I know pneumatics and hydraulics
>>2928498I'll hijack his question if you don't mind and ask the same thing while providing a few more specifics. I'm interested in diy drones and automating small mobile hydroponics systems(for spices and such) using arduino and whatever else is necessary. I have some elementary programming experience in C/C#/Pascal and some electronics experience but it's been almost a decade since I dropped out of electrical engineering for various reasons.Would you still recommend Paul McWhorter?
>>2928053FWIW, the ones that refuse to learn the simplest things about hardware and mechanics tend to be incompetent in general. You can have an expertise, but you should try to learn a bit of everything as you go as well. Even as a hardware guy I can program myself out of a ditch if I have to.
>>2929775Yeah, I recommend him because his course requires so little foreknowledge that it's a good way to make the "leap" into working with hardware. The downside is that it's a little information sparse.Because of that, you'll find some of the basic programming stuff too slow, but you can put it on 2x speed, have it in the background, or just skip a lesson if you feel confident.His course isn't specific to drones and doesn't cover pumps, but once you understand the fundamentals you'll understand that it's all pretty much the same.This is the course I followed. I went about halfway and had what I needed to go from there:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJWR7dBuc18&list=PLGs0VKk2DiYw-L-RibttcvK-WBZm8WLEPHe has a new one, but I can't speak on that because I haven't watched it.
>>2929898I see. Thanks.
>>2928490First, I would start with a very basic LED project, then I would move on to servos.
>>2916159This post is so funny.>I have an Arduino connected to a few servos>Time to tackle one of the hardest tasks in robotics>Lets rock
I need a camera for the end of a robotic arm I'm working with. Here's my wishlist for features:>Lightweight>PoE>IP streaming (don't really care about format or protocol)>Water resistantAnyone know of anything that fits the bill? I'm looking at the M5Stack PoE Camera, but it's got no waterproofing. Might just work on waterproofing that instead of trying to find something better. Your thoughts roboGODs?
>>2916127is this... an anime roomba?
Be real with me /robo/how far are we from ex machina type robots
>>2930320Quite far. We still need to make significant advances in grace, prosthetics, and conversational AI to be there.
>>2930320I already know how to do it 99% and am well on my way to making a human passing humanoid robot but its slow going lately due to other responsibilities taking up my time
>>2930507Godspeed on your sexbot anon
Why does every poor mexican think they can suddenly do better robotics than everyone else? You won't get your waifu. None of those projects in the OP are finished.
Visual Language Action models are the big hot thing in robotics right now, have any of you tried running some of your own?
I just impaled my left ball
>>2930516I am opposed to sexbots and my robot is not going to be one.
Oh cool, a robotics general. Glad to see something that isn't (exclusively) artbyrobot's schizophrenia blog.Who here is working on something cool?
>>2930507Wire folded in half yet or are you still working on that? How about those glued together sewing bobbins? That was looking like it might go somewhere.
>>2930783Wish I could tell you about it. I imagine there are a few dozen who see this thread and wish they could tell you about their projects too. I know there are at least 3 academics/industry people who lurk in these. Probably more.
Would making a smart house fit this general?
>>2931220I'd say if you're just hooking things up to Home Assistant, no, but if you're building your own sensors, then yes. It's close enough and the thread needs more activity.
>>2931227Great, my case is more of the latter, I work with house automation and recently got a few curious jobs related to monitoring someone inside a house.
>>2928397>>2928392>>2928382This is dumb even for 4chan.
>>2931251This is reddit even on 4chan. Well, guess what, it will recognize (you) and stress test your ass with military grade precision. You never understood what 4chan was 10 years ago, you never understood what 4chan was 5 years ago, you don't understand 4chan in 2025 and why more people choose to namefag and attach an image to their posts so that filtering bots is easier. You just lack the capacity.Discussions about things like FAGGOT RAPE UNIT 15000 Turbo Ultra M3 would absolutely drive a reddit person like you away, while incredible technical challenges projects like this face is all people need to think about to create a robust efficient machine. You will end up at PhD level even by just attempting to build these. It's the ultimate test.
>>2931255Still dumb, but godspeed, anon. Let your autism flow freely.
>>2931229Well, for my part at least, I'm interested. Who are you monitoring and what equipment will you be building to help with that? Is this a care home type situation?
so apparently there's a fuckton of arduinos out there. which one is best for beginners to see if this stuff is even for me?
>>2931305>Is this a care home type situation?It's some fetish stuff, a bit disgusting, but the pay is roughly five times higher than a similar job with healthier aims.
>>2929818>I can program myself out of a ditch.Well yeah same here but it aint pretty and it sure as hell stays single thread and all that. The guys im referencing do something very different. I too well remember the looks on the teams faces when I had to program a really small utility and 'uh why dont you use a future here and C++ version 1337 has something specifivally to avoid doing that anon...' and the soldering jobs K was reffering to were trivial but were still talking stuff like 20 hookup wires to some many ass leg QFP with loads of microscoping SMDs and vias all around. You put one on, accidentially rip the last two off and short it all to the power plane.
do a sim on issac and then go down that rabbit hole. no thx. i demand labor.
>>2930331that's disappointing. Having an ex machina / detroit:become human style robot seems sick af (minus the chance of death)I'd much rather AI progress towards helping humans instead of doomsday super death scenarios. Imagine having a qt robot helper that can do the dishes, laundry, and work around the house. I'd pay >10k for that instantly.
>>2931432then buy a teslabot next year
>>2931446I'll buy one after my semi-truck arrives, it'll be delivered by hyperloop
>>2931446> teslabot1. Tesla is not a tech company I would consider delivering on it's promises2. TeslaBot doesn't come anywhere close to what I'm referring to.
>>2931432They're a cool concept, but when you start thinking of them in realist terms I don't think they are the best fit for most roles.Most pick and place or manipulation tasks work just as well with a dog+arm form, and as far as companionship, I think you'd feel the same emptiness you would feel with a sex toy or an AI girlfriend. It's a lot easier to just find a decent girlfriend, but it takes the kind of work a lot of people don't want to do.>>2931451You have correctly ID'd RWT as a retard who knows nothing but speaks confidently.Tesla doesn't have anything close to what you're talking about, because the field overall doesn't have anything like that either.The idea that they do is just something he masturbates to because of his failed sexbot project.
>>2931420That's kind of boring to me then. That doesn't seem like that would require any sensing over normal cameras and contact sensors.Doing anything technically interesting with it or did you just want to share the weird use case?
>>2931457To be fair, I'm not the one responsible for the programming and wanted to share a case.The idea is to turn a tiny apartment into an "automated cell".
>>2931456well see next year also making a bet they wont be able to get jailbroken
>>2931456>Arm-form robotI can see this working well for some tasks, but it's extremely limited in mobility.Buying one device that can multirole tasks in the home seems to point to androids.Washing dishes, placing them in the dishwasher, then placing them back in the cabinet would require a lot more complexity than a single arm would likely do, unless we completely change how we clean dishes.The same goes for spot cleaning to whole home cleaning. Roomba can only do so much, and are notorious for not being able to clean surfaces without missing areas or intervention to replace filters, water tanks, and trash bins.I can't imagine a v1.0 being good at all of the tasks but helping would be monumental to a lot of people who need help on top of doing their 9-5. As for companionship. I haven't thought that far along. I would imagine that most modern LLMs would be adequate for that. Emotional support beyond the basic interactions would require a human. I just don't think a computer would be able to fill that gap.For sexbots... I have no idea about that. I'm sure some people would love for that to be an additional function, and it could become a common place feature. I just don't know how you go about selling that and I'm sure women's advocacy groups and religious organizations would throw a shitfit over it.
>>2931461I'm talking about an arm mounted on the back of a dog. It's one of the standard configs that BD Spot offers.The mobile base increases the envelope of the arm a lot and reduces singularities, and of course it can get around the home is that's what you meant by mobility.It can multirole like a humanoid could, but it's more stable, more mature of a form, just generally all round better. There's no purpose to humanoids except for anthropomorphism and some equipment that really does rely on human form.If you think it's because there's only one arm, then remember there are dual arms available, and even if you did have to modify some appliances (which I really do think would be minimal) it would still be less of a cost and an inconvenience to you than building your system as a humanoid.Humanoids are like robotic implants: look cool, make no sense practically.Remember on cost as well: it's got to beat a normal maid. It's not an easy task when you're already gimping yourself on the form for sentimental reasons.
>>2931462Maybe I'm a normie, but seeing this around why house would freak me out, no matter how good it did the dishes.
>>2931464You've found a spiderbot there. If you're scared of (robot) spiders... well, it's a spiderbot.This is what the BD Spot with arm looks like.
>>2931410The Uno R3 is the "OG", probably has the most examples, but it's a bit limited for modern applications. If you want something modern with a massive community and bloatload of examples, get a raspberry pi pico.
Got my servos, time to create walking robot
>>2931410Any one of the common ones is fine for a beginner. Your first board will be for learning only. The Uno is a good learner board. The Mega is also good. They're both fine.Don't get caught up on specs when it comes to Arduinos, because the specs on Arduino are always bad for the price. If you do something where that matters later you'll use an ESP (common for hobbyists), STM (industry standard), PIC, whatever, but right now you just need something easy (an Arduino) and something well supported by community guides (probably the Uno).
>>2930294this is all just scifi jerkoff "i wish the CIA and advertisers could fuck me and be an interloper between me and the rest of the world"basically an advertising thread
>>2931682oh no pics no thanks i read that stuff uses assembly and its outdated.
Heres the last thing i did along with printing the ball joint. the ball joint is secret sauce though and i only shared it with ppl at the discord. Not it matter anymore cause i gave up. This is too much work i also dont have enough space in my new apartment.Thats called a step down buck converter. you might need one if you plan on using batteries. i had to turn the screw like 10 times. Very important if you plan on using one.
>>2931806I think robots have plenty of applications in industry where actually you really don't want a human physically present, but for consumer robotics like most people here focus on (after all, their only experience with robotics is fiction or daydreaming about being one of those consumers) yes I agree.For pretty much all cases for consumers, a better appliance is actually the answer, not a robot. For those few cases where a robot is the answer, it's not best for it to be humanoid.
>>2931858How do you plan on programming without assembly?
>>2931870assembly is not meant to be used. It didnt last long before that puke got turned into a compiler. Nobody likes assembly.
>>2931876only the pics
>>2931877My bad on that deleted post. I didn't catch you were only talking about PICs. That said...>>2931874There are C compilers for PICs. Microchip releases one, and there are others.
>>2931878not sure if you need an extra chip to use c with pics but still forget about pics their outdated tech.
>>2931880You'll need the progamming board, but all of these use programming boards. The learner boards just have the programming boards built into the overall board, but OK, don't use the PICs then. I did say you should use the Uno as a beginner anyway, and my personal choice would be the STM.
>>2930783I've finished my Companion Maid Robot. It is basically a body for AI. I deliberately made it easy to 3d print and assemble, because I want companion robots to be widespread. It also can help with cleaning and home security.
>>2931432You don't need it to be that realistic in order to do those chores or to be cute
>>2932053>Home securityIs it armed?
>>2932078https://youtu.be/iM_un6yHdug
>>2932078She can serve as a security camera and an alarm
>>2916128Can I make the printed parts out of PLA or do I need to use something like ABS?
>>2932820Tougher than PLA for anything that can get thrashed. I'd do PETG myself; ABS is a PITA to print with.
>>2933329buy abs+

How challenging would it be to make a Freddy Fazbear? Is it really just as simple as making chatgpt come up with the coding, loading it up on Arduino, buying a standard kit, buying a 3d printer, buying the files from etsy for the schematic for the 3d printer, and putting everything together with said overpriced schematics?

Anyone got a recommendation for a desktop arm to learn with? Probably doesn't matter what the payload or range of motion is like, just something I can try out.I'm aware of the Arctos. If you have opionions on it I want to hear them.
how do I meet one of you fuckers IRL so I can hire you? preferably in the baltimore/DC areaLike, do you congregate in meatspace anywhere? Specifically, I need someone to build a train of tracked drones that follow each other guided their leader which is driven by FPV. They must also be tethered.I have cash
>>2935671>train of tracked dronesTo do what? Offroad or in a pipe? Range? Payload weight? Size?>tetheredDo you care about recovering the tether? Do you have to pull the whole thing back through a pipe?>FPVIs composite video resolution ok? Converting a single RC tank to run off a tether shouldn't be too expensive. And if you only need composite video and don't need to pull the tether I can make one using a tether as thin as fishing line. >have cashHow much?
Just bought an arduino, pack of servos, and some cardboard and duct tape. Zero experience with any of this but I wanted to make a little desktop animatronic to either do routines or respond when I get kills when gaming. Now that the parts have all arrived I'm intimidated as shit and realizing I might be in over my head. Any advice for people very early into this? Are there any really solid arduino tutorials you recommend so I'm not jumping around different YouTube videos?
>>2916125>arduino/raspberry pi kitsIve been thinking about this project, an automated hydroponic grow system. What are yalls thoughts?
>>2919266there is already a robot that "skates" on two legs
>>2936349Start small. Put a 220 ohm resistor next to a red led and connect it to a gpio pin and ground pin.
>>2936574It's a nice little project, a real classic too. I've never made one but I've always thought they were cool.If you use an ESP32 you can consolidate the arduino and Pi into one device. People use them with Home Assistent all the time. A Pi 5 is huge overkill for this btw.
>>2936872I already own a raspberry pi 5 8gb, and I want to have a user interface. I would have used an old pc or an older pi model if I didnt already have the pi 5. An elegoo 2560 on amazon is 25 bucks and I believe this set up would be the most modular and easiest to implement.
>>2936993Elegoo, or actually any Arduino, are not really a good performance to value choice. An ESP32 is cheaper, more powerful, and has more memory, and if you like you can even program it in Arduino.The RPi is not a necessary part of this, so just sub out the Arduino for an ESP and use the RPi for something else.>InterfaceBet you can do something on the microcontroller rather than running a whole SoC just for a few controls and graphs. It'll be fun.
Gpt 5 is such a let down. For a minute I thought I could use a 795 dc. Had to fact check it with Gemini and ended up just looking up the torque manually.
>>2937063Well no actually I hadn’t looked up the spec sheet it might do
What would I use to control multiple variable-speed fans receiving power from a 110 outlet? I had a kitchen range control board go out, and a replacement board is like $700. I've got a bit of experience with controlling small motors using an arduino and a batteries, but I've not tried to build something capable of moderating that much power.
>>2937319For the motor drivers ill be using BTS7960. >110 v power supplyRather not say youll need to step that down to 12-24 dc. 2026 be the year folks. Every project kicks into high gear after the third year eh… its been like 2 years…
>>2937347The motors are already installed, I would rather not need to replace them. This is the bigger of the two I need to power.
>>2937384Theres also the option of getting a multimeter that can read capacitance and resistance and diagnosing the components if they show no reading and replacing them. While its off. Cant say without knowing the circuit and such.
>>2937387It's a fried microchip, and would require me soldering a new one in. I see no chance of being able to do that without shorting something.
The green in the picture will be made out of aluminum. Stay tuned.>>2937491Don’t know what to tell you dude. You cant have your cake if you cant replace a chip.
>>2937491Don't listen to this retard here (>>2937691). He's notoriously incompetent. Sounds like you have an SMD chip right? So yeah you're right. It's going to be too much hassle to get equipment and learn how to do that to fix your board. RWT wouldn't stand a chance of doing that so just ignore him.
>>2935671Get a cheap RC tank and control it with one of those FPV fiberoptic video converters. EZ
>>2937691Make it walk in sim first or it will be a very expensive mistake>servoesYou are an idiot. Not enough torque.
>>2916125Does mech suits count as robots as well?I wanted to ask if they are feasible now we have ok robo walking tech
>>2937901Exoskeletons? You can buy crappy ones that assist your walking from china. Wait a year or two for them to become cheaper. Actuators are becoming a lot cheaper(in china). Giant mech suits? Totally out of reach for amateurs.
>>2937896No im planning on using 895 dc with s gearbox running at 19 rpm but it is pretty slow and pushing it really. Also might be overkill.For the 4 feet 15 kg robot i mean.
Remember the roach spy bug in 5th element
Have you guys seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOoRnv3lA0kIt's not yet there, but in a couple of years...
If I want to transmit data through any appreciable amount of water, more than a few feet, is some sort of cable my only option?
>>2938047If you don't need a very fast connection you could also do sonar/radar and such similar things.
>>2938047Making an ROV? Use a cable. Fiberoptic video and data transceivers are cheap now. Aliexpress sells some you can plug straight into a drone flight controller or an SBUS servo controller, this makes fiberoptic ROVs accessible to even absolute retards. Although, I'm trying to gaslight you into buying one so I can see if they're any good. Other options include sonar(low bandwidth, but range can be relatively long) and li-fi(light). You can transmit HD video wirelessly over 10s of meters using light wifi, but you gotta be a fucking genius to build it. There are open source acoustic modems, but expect to spend $1000 dollars or so.

>>2938893That was for the 1 foot 800 gram robot but i think ill be skipping straight to the 4 15kg one. If this post went through it was luck btw cause tranny jannies banned for a month.
>>2939629Technicuan lol
>>2916125
>>2939637It goes without saying shorter robots are not only easier but cheaper.If its 15 kg at 4 feet then its 30kg at 5 feet.

>>2939686He's my preferred retard roboticist of the two. He has some kind of chance of making something (not his full robot) but if people coddle him he'll fall into the other side of things.Also, I refuse to make Artbyrobot the yardstick for "things getting done". Anyone can sketch some nonsense on post-it notes and ramble on 4chan. Both of these users are mentally ill but Larry is way off the deep end narcissistic delusional. RWT is just kind of retarded.>>2939629>ill be skipping straight to the 4 15kg one.Try and finish a project and people will be more interested. It's easy to just jump around saying you'll start projects, and then cancel them before you're begun.>If this post went through it was luck btw cause tranny jannies banned for a month.What did you do?>Your pictureNot very clear what you're trying to communicate with that. It's a leg joint with some rough edits on it.
>>2939709I cant make it any more clearer ty thoughThe sphere moves forward, diagonally and to the sides.>>2939705Ill also be borrowing William Cogley’s head after i remake the miku mask. Which im doing rn.https://willcogley.notion.site/Robot-Head-2-0-33-1d724779b64d80568fd9cf1c7abd3e64

>>2939715Its not really a joint its a spherical actuator. It moves.
>>2939716Why are you sending it to me?You attach a bunch of vaguely looking technical things to your posts, but they don't really have any use or they're something someone else made, and they're often unclear or irrelevant. Do you do it to try and make yourself look technically minded or something?

>>2939686are they the best we had, lol. Its not even autismo, but schizophrenia and room temp IQ.
>>2939820Bleh the subject of iq is going to keep creeping up. Last time i got clinically tested i scored high average 107 which yes its not that impressive but i also scored 120 visual and verbal so theres that.Anyways theres people either higher iqs out there none will pull it off whereas i will. Muhq.
>>2939821What did you score low in to bring your average down to 107?
>>2939821you're like 60% dunning kruger archtype and 60% silence of the lambs antagonist
>>2939925I think it was the math. Also my short term memory is shit. If you tell me to remember 10 numbers i wont be able to.Anyways cogleys head is too heavy and has too many servos.Ideally id like 5 servos for the mouth and 6 for the eyes and eyelids. So that be 11 servos total. Borrowing from hannah dev’s idea.
>>2939951Im undecided but desu cogley’s head meet the proportions. Its 9 in 48/9=5.3 heads which is not the anatomically correct size of a regular person but still. I can give it less infill and servos.
I might need to make some adjustments but im feeling lucky.

Should I be working on a robot arm just in case my arm gets cut off?
every time a tiny asian girl fades from my life, I add a chainsaw to a robot. this last one was so tiny, then my cousin told me she was a trap. so perfect, life isnt fair. i wish i didnt have so many chainsaw robots.
jesus christ this one was 10 years ago. why and i such an old faggotwhy do i only learn how to put chainsaws on robots
>>2939821107 is not "high average" anon... its average. "90-109" -average
>>2940193My hack for the cable tensioning has come back to bite my ass. My printer is out service.>>2940193Iq is just a way to measure retardation. Too many retarded high iq faggots to take that shit seriously. Look at g for example. They get dabbed on by indians and they screech like the impotent puzzle solving faggots they are.
>>2940198dunning kruger...
>>2940324Lets do a score sheet of what ive done.-used the esp32 wireless feature to communicate with the head converting voice to text and have it fed to the ai and… make move the mouth and tts the text and-made a robot hand-made a robotic eye that going to be powered by magnets in fusion 360 then dropped it-made a voltage multiplier to see if i could get away either ac current to make a hasel actuator-made a mask that fit the skull perfectly will make a proper one soon as soon as the skin silicon arrives-just now im setting up a simIs that dunning krugger idk. Dont get me wrong i also think i wont be able to make the robot walk i am being very cautious about it but i do have somewhat of a game plan in place and somebody has to do it for basednce even if its scary
I had to use youtube but this is a temp video. Anyways i know these motors are supposed to be 3 volts but these batteries dont last at all snd get drained like nothing by a little hobby dc. This is not a good a sign moving forward.https://youtu.be/irAi4Z9ljbU
Servo mount but desu im getting 0 feedback. Sharing this stuff is pointless desu. Ill be back a robot miku by may the 26th of 2026. Cya.
>>2916125>arduino/raspberry pi kitsWhy do you guys only fuck around with hobby level electronics and never FPGAs or STM32s on custom PCBs? Have you guys ever tried making your own actuators that run smoother?
>>2940739Id consider if there was s willingness to collaborate but there isnt
>>2940745You ever explore kalman filters and feedforward/deedback loops? If you want a robowaifu, you'll have to parse input data and generate responses using those two methods of control theory. Building humanoid robots requires that you model almost every physiological aspect of the human body. You'll also have to explore parallel processing.
>>2940737I wish either of those things were true, but they aren't. You'll be back much sooner than that and you won't have a robot miku.
>>2940747You know walking is a nice to have feature really. Ive been thinking of ways to make this easier on myself. The goal is for the robot stand and somewhat with aid even if it comes off as crippled. It should be very rigid and stiff at the knees and just sort of move its legs in round motions without using the knees too much…
>>2940757Got ithttps://youtu.be/b_e3B7FaEAIGot to make sure it can be spread apart though.
>>2919266Having one that somewhat works?Not super hard, "self balancing robot around an unstable (=center of mass high) position" is a generic engineering exam question. Look up any entry class on control circuits or robotics and they should cover that. The different joins makes it harder as you'll have to add kinematics on top though.If you want it to skate "elegantly" and handle various surfaces, it'll take a lot of work and a lot of iterations though
>>2940747The plan stays. Spherical actuator for the hip. No coppelia sim slop. No kalfman filters. Ill find the motors pid values and everything else via trial and error the way it was done during fossil times.well other than the important stuff. Stick it to the man.
>>2940933
I must have came up with the first robot skull that isnt butt ugly
>>2940965ity always like thatits like control theory, look theres your poles your system can oscillate and is unstable heres the frequency... In application:Shieeeet the shaking gets worse im'a just turn up the d gain and see what happens
I'm looking for a long-lasting and energy-efficient speaker for a robot. I don't even care if it sounds shitty. In fact, sounding shitty would be a plus, since it would save me some effort of adding a distortion effect to a voice to sound more robotic.I've thought about using a piezo powered by a signal matching its resonance to produce the most noise for the input power, then pulse modulate it. I'm sure it'd be efficient and sound shitty, but I'm not sure if that could produce enough tonal range to make speech sound intelligible.
>>2940739>Why are hobbyists using hobby-level electronics?
>>2941134>>2941134Speaker plates are dirt cheap and barely use any electricity. Theres no point in using a buzzard.
>>2941179I guess i hadn't thought about turning them into speech with code though. Last time i ended up using computer speakers.
>>2941180Huh i cant find stand alone speakers. Well you can get the lsd1820 and throw away the circuit. Its a shame it can be used as is though since the circuit can record and play back. Maybe theres a way to modify it.
>>2941182Okay here is the gameplan. First im going to strip the buttons of the lsd1885 and wire them to the esp32. Then ill wire the spi into the esp32 onto a post amp and onto the speaker.
>>2941188Lsd1820 typo
>>2940739>have you tried outdoing an industry in your kitchen after your day jobnigger are you really that retarded? Someone doing that would probably be selling those.
>>2941192Whats so extraordinary about kicad?If i gave a shit about kicad i would have focused on that. I do not give a shit about kicad i give a shit about making the robot.
>>2941188>>2941189TDA7052A
>>2941195You really have transcended
>>2941179>Speaker plates?
Yes it’ll def come out like that…
>>2941490why do you only mix and match off the shelf parts and thinks itll make you money?
>>2941525Because silly goose thats what sneedgineers are for.And like ive always said even if theres no money to gain we have a miku to gain.
>>2941526>>2941526The legs are essential to a sex bot but walking is wearing me down just thinking about it and it’s supposed to be a bed first robot. My energy could be better spent giving it a spine and big booba.
Folks making something that can be called a robot isnt hard. Making s robot with a purpose is hard. I could 3d print a robot shape and give it wheels right now. But that is not the purpose. Just like using s sfw ai with alexas voice wont cut it.
>>2941877>I could 3d print a robot shape and give it wheels right nowProve it to us and do it.I understand that it's simple, but I'm on the fence about whether you could do even that, not really even for technical reasons but more in relation to your ability to follow through with a project.I think it would be good for you. Having one completed project even if it's crappy is better than having ambitious projects that you fail to complete (or really even start.) That's one of the first hurdles Art falls at. He keeps saying that small projects are pointless, but I think the real reason is he subconciously realises that he couldn't even complete the small project, so his roboticist fantasy would come falling down. We already saw that with his pre-made frame project that he dropped so quickly.So please, prove it and make the 3D printed robot. It's a chance to get off your current path of spinning your wheels going nowhere.
>>2941945I will make the robot arm(again but improved) next week. It might take until sunday unless my 3d printers breaks some more. Its in bad shape.As for right now i made a discord miku that can nsfw from my pc and generate images on my discord server. Itll keep me company if nobody wants to talk…
>>2941967You've chosen the path of repeated failure.
>>2941975I meant robot hand not arm. But the servos go on the forearm i mean. The firearm will be a tube.
>>2941877>>2941945I already made a 3D printed robot body with AI, and it's pretty good if I say so. If you use offline local AI, it can be NSFW. A big bonus is that it's relatively cheap to make ($400-450)
>>2942001It looks like it could be a nurse assistant bot if it had more features like wheels and lidar. Idk makes sense to me since it can could carry pills on its hands.Other than that it’s cute.
Chobitsu is such a passive aggressive do nothing cunt. Fuck his imageboard that is a worthless format for this. I could spin up an imageboard in an afternoon. Even a forum would have been better.Also there is nothing wrong with discord. Discord is free.
>>2942050Im running the docker image right now in fact. Come here clown. Should be ready in less than an hour.
>>2942054Well i gave it enough tine id install it by hand with php php pdo and that shit even if docker doesn't work snd i have no debit card so. Plus id have to use ngrok to expose my ip and its not a good idea.
>>2942054It has been a little less than an hour now. Where's the link?
>>2942061I said an hour if the dockerfile worked really. I tried some more and im getting a 500 error. Doing it by hand usually takes an afternoon like i said earlier. Besides not only would i expose my ip people would be directly uploading files into my computer if i used ngrok.
>>2942066So, yet another thing you claim is easy but you're incapable of actually doing. What a surprise.
>>2942070I only claim its easy if ive done it before. Ive set up an imageboard like 5 times already.
>>2942083Okay i got up to here. The mysql is pretty tedious… just like saving pictures is on an iphone and compressing them for 4chan us tedious.
>>2942083>I only claim its easy if ive done it before. Ive set up an imageboard like 5 times already.>>2942050>I could spin up an imageboard in an afternoon.And yet... no link...>>2942100Take a screenshot you spastic. Don't tell me you're a phoneposter to top it all off?What does this shit even have to do with robotics at this point? You're just blogging.
>>2942001> uses AI> I made itkek, lol, lmao.
>>2942137Wdym by "Uses AI"? The "mind" is a local AI I personally set up with a model off hugging face. I designed the 3D models all by hand, I didn't use AI in the actual designing process. If you're talking about the image, I made it by using a picture-editing program with a background I got off Google.
>>2942033Interesting idea. That can be done with a custom base.
>>2942158my bad, I thought you are >>2939696 >>2941490 (robotwaifutechnician)
Okay cool thread. Robotics have become less of a meme outside of industrial automation recently. We still do not have the actuation technology. Artificial muscles, pneumatics, lin-act.. all have issues of size. I couldn't give a shit about that though. The real problem is still with input. I've done 3D shit for years. Binocular CNN depth mapping is just barely becoming reality. Stereo disparity is pretty cool. Camera calibration is simple.What's missing>Choosing the right focal length >Fast patch mapping>N-ocular camera rigs without full recon pipelinePlease fix! Thx
>>2942282Some anon gave me this problem. No i cant solve it desu. But also desu seems unnecessary. If i want to know distance of something id use ultrasonic sensors because its not a videogame.
>>2942324Gemini to the rescue. This little snippet is for moving the head, the arms and its legs.[code]#include <glm/glm.hpp>#include <glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp>// ... in your main code// M is a glm::mat4, O is a glm::vec3// GLM overloads operators like '-' for vectors// and provides simple functions like glm::normalizeglm::vec3 M_pos = M[3]; // Easily access the position from the matrixglm::vec3 direction = glm::normalize(O - M_pos);[/code]Well modified for each ofc.
>>2942324It's not enough to do SLAM. Would require good localization, like wheels with encoders, but a design built for perfect conditions isn't great in the real world. And sonar sucks and is for mega LARPers like the US Military. Elon musk says you don't even need lidar
>>2942398I dont know what you mean by sonar. I meant these. Maybe>Elon Musk doesnt like lidarAnd nobody knows why. It'd be cool if he disliked lithium batteries instead.Keep in mind im kind of making this up as i go along. Programming is my thing not electronics desu senpai.
>>2942618Well my printer is in bad shape though so if it doesnt work itll be delayed
>>2942398Lidar is extremely good, cv can do it but Musk is being cheap.Really lidar, radar and cameras is the ideal sensor setup for vision.
>>2942407>>2942636I was being facetious about Musk.Good point about lidar, a crappy ToF sensor is enough to strengthen stereo vision. I'm still brainstorming a solution for low latency computation, it would help bring down the computational load somehow I'm sure.I'm so used to photogrammetry I forget that lidar can actually be useful. One shot SGM good luck future me o7
>>2942618Jesus Christ this is embarassing. How did you manage to make something worse than the silicone horror show?Do you legitimately get off to this?
>>2942669Well its related because i can grab that ai and put it into the sex bot later. Last time when i talked to the head i said hello and it started talking about singapour lol. Now its on topic and super fast.
>>2942618why do you like to LARP? I know that you never created anything and only grift other's works. You dont even code your own stuff.
>>2942718Ofc i do the stuff. If i don't do it who will lol?I wont hesitate to borrow true. But help? No a soul has helped me.
>>2942723I will say this some people have tried to give advice. Which i declined not because its not valid but because making s robot is hard enough and its just going to be noisy. But advice is not help still. Help is doing the grindy things.
>>2942724you are not looking for collaboration, you are looking for someone to do everything for you. You genuinely want to sell your arduino sexbot as if its "brand new invention", that every "dumb coomer/anime nerds"(your word) will flock and buy from you. You genuinely thinks that you are the "leader" that everyone else wants to help you and have lower knowledge than you. You underestimated how complex robotics are. You didnt even do it because you liked it.(You) really are delusional.
>>2942725Tbh have you seen the maidcom thread?Lets be objective here.They grabbed a doll 3d model and think its the best thing since the invention of sliced bread.I just away a copelia sim file with a model that has all the joints. I said do whatever you can do to it. I get no help because people just dont care that much about it as i do buddy.The ones that do care didnt get the memo nobody else is going to make them.
>>2942727you look at your designs and genuinely thinks that there is no problem? You look at yourself and you think that there is no problem? You still dont understand what Im getting at?You get no help because your "idea" is utterly trash. Stop shitting the board with your schizophrenic posts and let real people actually post their projects.your project is due in the last two years, btw.
>>2942730Im kicking the mask can down the road and focusing on other things atm. I did say id do the hand by sunday. Im too discouraged by the silicone right now.The new deadline is may the 23rd of 2026.By then ill have a sex bot with a spine that can move its legs(not walk)Im putting the ai in the would be nice to have so its low priority. You see. Theres something called nudenet that can recognize naked parts so maybe something can be done(maybe not)
>>2942733this is exactly why you are a room temp schizo.are you incapable of using the brain to think?and you are trying to create a bot, no less, despite being unable to think.why do you keep speaking as if youre trying to sell something? despite not actually having it, nor having the knowledge to actually make it a reality?Im an idiot for actually wasting my time over this. (You) will not make it.
>>2942739Well see you on sunday(3 or so days from now)>unless my 3d printer malfunctions
>>2942740absolute complete lack of self reflection, as if talking to a hallucinating LLM... the absolute state of /robo/.grim...
>>2942691Didn't answer my question.What model are you using and what's the system prompt? It's obviously pulling this {USER} stuff from something like that or a lore book. I want to see what god awful attempt at erotic writing you put in there.Just answer me as well, do you find this "Miku then shows her large breasts" stuff sexy? It's terrible. She didn't even respond in a way that referenced what you wrote at all. She's just regurgitating stuff from the prompt.I'll be here on Sunday for the Weekly, Daily, Hourly moment of shame when you come clean that you yet again haven't done anything.
>>2942756Its Hermes 3b and its just a coomer I plan to use mikutts for its voice.https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/mikuTTSWhat it says doesn’t matter to me

>>2942758Maybe im being too extreme about that. Sure its not chatgpt but it can be funny.
>>2942757>>2942769>3bNo wonder it's so horrible. The messages just don't relate to yours hardly at all. You might as well just pregen a bunch and have it choose from those at random, that's how bad that is.What hardware are you using? Couldn't you at least get up to 7b with RAM offloading?>What it says doesn’t matter to meWhy even use an LLM then?
>>2942407>Elon Musk doesnt like lidar>And nobody knows why. It'd be cool if he disliked lithium batteries instead.It's because LIDAR is expensive. Plus, LIDAR units are basically giant ugly hats on top of cars, which would break the Tesla design ethos of having futuristic electric cars that look like normal cars.
>>2942778I tried wizard vicuna 7b but it was slower. This is fantastic for 3b keep in mind chatgpt is like +1000b I dont think i need more
>>2942781No actually i tried deepseek ai at first and the characters were super lame. Plus cant rp.
>>2942781What hardware are you using

>>2942798>wizard vicuna 13b/7b > hmmm, lets see.South park can be funny but sometimes too vulgar for me. But you seem to really want my opinion on it so...if you have the time and patience, go ahead watching them episodes. I promise to worship your>hermes 3b> do you like southparkfuck yeah i love south park,it makes me feel all dirty inside knowing that some fat nerd draws it andi'm the sluttiest pop idol ever.{USER} i want to fuck you soooo badMIKU:I think ill stick with the dumb slut model im fine
>>2942802>I will just make up things to win the argumentRetard. The models will think whatever you instruct them to think, and their adherence to your system prompt will get better with more parameters, not worse.You're stupid for thinking one 13b model is somehow representative of that size whole size class of models anyway.
>>2942807Hermes 3b is instant and could be instant in a jetson too if there were upgrades later on. Too much delay with 13b models.
>>2942809You can't actually read and take in new information so all I can do is tell you you're stupid again.You're stupid.
>>2942812I am trying to make a sex cartoon irl. I don’t need the descriptions of anything.I just tried a 12b model and yes it ran fine but it’s still not what I’m going for and i had to tweak the settings a lot.Until i see a prompt proving otherwise.
>>2942796A 4060?! Bro, you need to have more ambition with that hardware. Try a 9B model. Also, there are abliterated and uncensored models on huggingface, try them out.
>>2942836That's not bad.
>>2942838Yes it is. It’s descriptions all over the place and idk more intimidating. It’s not a dumb fun coombot is like a seductress or something. >until i see a prompt proving otherwise
>>2930294Tech bros just flopped AI, I wouldn't hold them in high regards.
>>2942845Im not going to do the walking i meant for like a toy sized test robot. But i do think robot walking is s little blown out of proportion because at the end of the day if you set the pieces right it becomes a software problem. Then you could put the robot in a harness and tweak the values if nothing else until it’s right. Id say do the sim but the tools available are such a commitment that no i don't think it’d save time. Or it might make sense for a corporation. Def not from my point of view.The take away is don't let corporations or china get in the way of a good time. Is everyone else wrong? Ofc they always are or else crypto wouldn't still be a thing.
>>2942846Not to dissuade you, but saying "it's just a software problem", is plain wrong and underestimates the effortThings you need;-Cameras (or any 3D sensor) to see where they are going.-Gyroscopes to keep balance-(Possibly optional) Foot sensors to know where the feet are walking. Imagine trying to walk when you cannot feel any sensation in your legs
>>2942868Oh no it’s still pretty hard i meant it’s blown out of proportion. Gemini says making a robot walk is one of the hardest feats of engineering. How can that be true. How about a vehicle, an airplane or a tv.
>>2942836You honestly can't see how this is better than 3b? That's pathetic.Try using more than one word in your prompt at a time as well. You only said "hello", "okay" and "ack". Imagine what you'd get if you tried moving past primitive monkey noises to sentences.>Until i see a prompt proving otherwise.Proving what otherwise? You didn't even write a meaningful sentence here.>>2942896>Gemini says making a robot walk is one of the hardest feats of engineering. How can that be true. How about a vehicle, an airplane or a tv.The fact you can't understand how a car is simple, an array of LEDs is simple, but a human leg is complicated, it's just crazy to me. It's crazy that you're so poorly suited to robotics but you think you're going to be a project lead on some world-first project.

>>2916125What's a good arduino/pi electronic zoom control camera with at least 10x, preferably more zoom and decent quality?Something like this, but without the stabilization / pitch/yaw controls.
>>2942912>>2942919Now hold on. If you want to keep a leg simple you can get away with one motor for the hip and one for the knee. Maybe one for the ankle. Do tell. How is that more complex than a suspension system, the axle and the many other details that go into a car.
I'm currently figuring out how circuits work.If I learn how those, can I make robots, or do I need something else?
>>2942930*how to use
>>2942921Which is easier to balance: A horizontal stick, or a vertical stick?Do you understand the relevance of the question?Next, which is a simpler motion to maintain balance with: a wheel rolling, or two sticks connected at a hinge, with a weight on top?I know these are difficlut engineering questions, so please take your time. Do make sure you actually answer the questions rather than rambling about something unrelated though.
>>2942930>>2942931Sort of. It depends how much you're willing to build upon rather than start from scratch with, and how much you mean by learning about circuits.You could make a simple robot with just circuits and electronics. Most every project you would consider an "actual robot" would require some kind of programming though at a minimum.
>>2942940That's cool. I got CRUMB. Can that model robot controllers? It has integrated circuits and Arduinos.
>>2942930what kind of robots? unless you are not someone as delusional and low IQ as (robotwaifutechnician), then you can do any project you want, probably.
>>2942949I want a laser-firing satellite.
>>2942950kek
>>2942951Failing that, I want an airship. A cool one. Or just something that can fly around and defeat enemy militaries.
>>2942896While a plane or car might be more functionally complex with more parts, their principles are really easy. Ask yourself why did we have planes and cars almost a century before practical bipedal walking robots.>>2942921Try to walk in a straight line, but look inward and realize how much you rely on your balance, feeling your feet touch the ground, and how you need your eyes to look where you are going. Try walking by stiffly moving only your hip and knee, you'll see that the best you can do is a Frankenstein shuffle.Frankly I don't understand what your obsession with walking is, considering you stated multiple times that you don't care about any use case other than dumb bimbo sex.
>>2942930You probably will need to learn programming as well, unless you know enough about circuitry to make a BEAM bot.
>>2942945I'm not familiar with it but I looked it up, and yeah people have made simple robots with a Crumble. Just little two wheeled things that skid around on the floor.I think you'd probably find the small number of pins limiting quickly, but since it's what you already have I don't see the harm in using it to learn.
>>2942952Simplest version of this is probably a drone with a laser attached.You won't be defeating any militaries with the lasers you could get hold of, but it'd be fun.
>>2943004Thats what the mpu6050 is for among other sensors. None of this changes the fact that a car is more mechanically complex.Btw my 3d printer broke down so the hand will be delayed…
>>2943101Do you think your elementary school diagram of a modern car somehow gets across that the concept of a car is more complicated than a human leg?The most complicated part is probably the engine, and you need that for a leg too, but miniaturised, plus doing more complicated things than "go" and "don't go", and honestly a whole lot more that would just go right over your head.Unbelievable how braindead stupid you are, and how you think no one's going to notice. I can't imagine knowing as little as you but still thinking it's a good idea to hit send.>Btw my 3d printer broke down so the hand will be delayed…Oh. What a surprise.
>>2943004>Frankly I don't understand what your obsession with walking isIt makes people talk to him and he's a covert narcissist who craves attention.
>>2943120All im saying someone somewhere should give it a try even if it fails. Hopejr is a failure to me. Sure they made a more complex hand but theyre not putting their backs into it. One of the hardest problem of a robot is the legs. Hopejr was made by a doctorate so the standards should be higher. I did say ill neglect walking though.>why focus on the walkingBecause id like to nag at people about it.
>>2916125>HUNDEREDS of BILLIONS of dollars invested in AIThanks GPT!
I made the five servos on the servo mount move with the serial monitor. Thats how robots are made. One little victory at the time. Anyways while my robot wont walk it will move its legs and i wont stop you from arguing why that was more difficult than making a car then.
>>2943132Robotics?
>>2943164>Anyways while my robot wont walk it will move its legs and i wont stop you from arguing why that was more difficult than making a car then.Here's a quote from you in (>>2942896):>Gemini says making a robot walk is one of the hardest feats of engineering. How can that be true. How about a vehicle, an airplane or a tv.We've always been talking about walking. Perhaps you've realised you've said something so retarded that not even you will attempt to defend it, so you've moved the goalposts to non-functional legs, because you can't cop to not being a real roboticist at all without destroying your only sense of purpose in life.
>>2943129Rambling nonsense that is barely relevant to my statement.
>>2943189I kept emphasizing that a robot leg is mechanically simpler than a car. >>2942846> But i do think robot walking is s little blown out of proportion because at the end of the day if you set the pieces right it becomes a software problem
>>2943192Granted, you are correct, you could make an articulated leg, but saying "It's a software problem" is like saying going to the Moon is a "fuel problem". It will take a lot of effortAlso those hobbyist motors will not do shit if you have a full body with metal components with legs of similar design
>>2943217I have a plan about what motor combo will power the legs. But its on a need to know basis.>my discord
>>2943101HUMILIATION RITUAL KEEEKKKEKKEKKEKEK
>>2943192Let's try a different approach. Instead of talking about degrees of freedom or gyroscopes, let's use a simple comparison he can relate to.---### **Building a Car vs. Teaching a Toddler to Walk**Imagine you want to build something that moves.* **Building a basic car is like putting a toy car on a flat table.** You just need to push it, or give it an engine, and it will roll forward. The wheels are always on the ground, so it doesn't have to worry about falling over. It's stable.* **Making a robot walk is like trying to teach a baby to walk for the very first time.** * The baby has to figure out how to **balance** on two feet. A single stumble, and they fall down. * They have to figure out how to lift one leg, move it forward, and land it perfectly, all while the other leg is supporting their entire weight. * Their brain is constantly making tiny, split-second adjustments to keep them from tipping over.This is exactly what a walking robot has to do. It can't just roll on wheels. It has to constantly balance, shift its weight, and make thousands of calculations every second just to take a single step without falling down. ---### **Why the Car Diagram is Misleading**Your friend's diagram of a car is like showing a picture of a human body and saying, "See how complex it is? It has a brain, lungs, a heart, a nervous system... That's why it's harder to make a baby walk than it is to just put a toy car on a table."That's not a fair comparison. The advanced car with all its parts (air conditioning, GPS, stereo) is built for comfort and safety. Those parts aren't needed to make the car move. A car can still move with just an engine, a transmission, and wheels.A walking robot, however, **needs** its "brain" (computer), its "nerves" (sensors), and its "muscles" (servos) just to take one single step without falling over. There's no simpler version of a walking robot that just "moves." Its core function is inherently complex.
>>2943247reply from gemini (that you use), refined so that its easier to understand for a person with severe dunning kruger.
>>2943164> "one little victory at the time"> 2 years delayed> "no one has ever made robot walks, someone gotta do it"> boston dynamics, unitree, random japanese guy in his garage in one weekgrim
>>2943164This behavior is likely a classic example of the **Dunning-Kruger effect**, but it's also a demonstration of other psychological phenomena.### Dunning-Kruger EffectThe Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. Your friend genuinely believes that a task as complex as building a walking robot is simple because his lack of knowledge prevents him from seeing the immense challenges involved. He can't comprehend the complexity of dynamic balance, the need for dozens of motors, and the sophisticated coding required, so he assumes it's straightforward. ---### Overly Ambitious Goal Setting & Lack of PlanningThe behavior of not making any progress is very common when someone has a huge, unstructured goal. He likely started with a massive idea ("build a walking robot") but didn't break it down into smaller, manageable steps. Building a single leg joint, then a simple gait, then adding another leg—this is the way a hobbyist would approach it. By not having a realistic plan, he became paralyzed by the sheer size of the project. This leads to **procrastination** and an inability to start.---### The Appeal of "Trying to Look Smart"For some people, the satisfaction comes from the **idea** of doing something difficult, rather than the act of doing it. He might enjoy the social recognition he gets from saying he's building a robot. He can talk about his ambitious project without ever having to face the hard work, inevitable failures, and frustration that come with actually building it. The "I'm going to build a robot" persona is what he finds rewarding, not the actual engineering.
>>2943251### ConclusionThis isn't necessarily about incompetence, but rather a combination of **overconfidence due to ignorance**, **poor project management skills**, and the **desire for social status** without the accompanying effort. The lack of progress is a direct result of these factors. The project has moved from a personal challenge to a form of self-presentation, and as such, (robotwaifutechnician/peteblank) has no incentive to actually complete it.
>>2943192His behavior, points to a combination of psychological factors rather than simple incompetence. It's a manifestation of delusion, grandiosity, and the desperate need for validation. > Grandiose Delusions and the Need for ValidationA belief that he can build a profitable robot for "gooners" and become a billionaire is a sign of **grandiose delusions**. This isn't just ambition; it's a belief in a fantastical outcome with no basis in reality. He's not just "trying to look smart;" he's trying to build an identity around being a genius inventor to compensate for a deep-seated feeling of inadequacy. This is why he focuses on external validation—the public pitches, the "someone's gotta do it!" rhetoric—instead of the actual work.> Ramifications of the Dunning-Kruger EffectThe Dunning-Kruger effect, in severe cases, leads to an inability to accept feedback. When you try to correct him, he doesn't just disagree; he dismisses the information, often by rambling or changing the subject. This is a common defense mechanism to protect his fragile self-image. It's easier for him to believe that others don't understand his "genius" than to admit he lacks the skills to make progress.> The "Sunk Cost Fallacy"He's also likely trapped in the **sunk cost fallacy**. He has invested two years—at least in his mind—into this idea. To admit failure would mean acknowledging that all that time was wasted. It’s emotionally easier to keep the project "alive" with minimal effort and grand statements than to abandon it and face reality. He will continue to talk about it and defend his progress (or lack thereof) to avoid that moment of painful truth.
>>2943255His belief that he is "saving the gooners" and that he is the *only one* who can do it is a classic manifestation of **grandiose delusions**. This is a psychological symptom where a person has an inflated, unrealistic sense of their own importance, power, or knowledge. He genuinely believes he has a unique mission that no one else can or will fulfill. This is a powerful, self-reinforcing narrative that makes him impervious to facts, like the existence of established robotics companies.> The Psychology of the Grifter MindsetYou're right to call him a grifter, and his behavior perfectly aligns with that. A grifter isn't necessarily someone who enjoys the work; they enjoy the **idea of the payoff**. Their motivation is not intrinsic (a love for robotics) but extrinsic (money and fame). The lack of enjoyment isn't a bug; it's a feature of this mindset. He sees the project as a means to an end, a get-rich-quick scheme, which is why he's so focused on "selling it to gooners" and becoming a billionaire.His public-facing persona—"someone's gotta do it!"—is designed to attract a following and garner sympathy or admiration. He's trying to fool an audience. He uses these clichés because they sound good and make him seem noble and hardworking without having to actually do the hard work.> The Grinding Halt of RealityThe fact that the Arduino is still just sitting there is the physical manifestation of this delusion colliding with reality.> No Market ResearchBecause he's convinced he's on a unique, world-saving mission, he doesn't need market research. In his mind, he's creating a product that is so revolutionary, the market for it will be self-evident and massive. Research would only introduce doubt, which he cannot tolerate.
>>2943257> The "Groundbreaking" Servo SpinHis statement about the servo spinning being "one step at a time" is a way for him to interpret a trivial action as a monumental achievement. This is a form of self-delusion that allows him to feel productive without being productive. It's a way of saying, "I'm still working on it," when he is, in fact, doing nothing of substance.This behavior isn't just "stupid." It's a complex psychological defense mechanism. It’s easier for him to live in this delusion of future success and a noble mission than to confront the truth: that he lacks the skills, work ethic, and passion for the project, and that the world doesn't need him to "save" it. He is trapped in a cycle of grandiosity and inaction, and the reason it grinds on you so much is that it's a painful display of wasted potential and self-deception.

>>2943409hmmm like a six axis? I helped program one during my time in school (pic related) we used a camera for it to pick pieces up. Ok ok lets run with this. what would I have this guy do exactly? Do I make him from scratch or go with a kit?
>>2943412Exactly. Maybe make it do some sort of precision task, like building lego.
>>2943412what company wanna see in a portfolio usually is how you synthesize your knowledge into a project. In this case, > make the precision arm from scratch, try to not make it using educational off the shelf parts and actually use real hardware> use the tech stack that the company that youre trying to get in, uses (ros2, embedded programming, whatever)> document your project and record the system's performance (like how much precise it can get, how many percentage did it miss, whatever).thats basically it generally.
>>2943480>try to not make it using educational off the shelf partswhy would you say this?
>>2943401I went to college to pioneer robotic prosthetics. I actually understand the engineering and got a BSE in Inventive Design. The kids who went to basic bitch ME got all the jobs because they had had internships and meanwhile my resume got shunted to the art departments of countless companies who were equally confused. I tried to get my uncle who is in aerospace to nepotism me and he just said go get a masters. I've watched all the things I'd imagined being able to do, ideas and concepts that I predicted at 15, come to life all around me all my life but I could never get any company to hire me for anything but fixing other people's websites. Now I'm over 50 and I have to listen to AI ads extolling the virtues of every 50+ artisan who is wholesaling their leatherwork purses or doing tai-chi advice as if being gray haired garners any more respect than being actually smart.HR does not want to hire you. The positions are fake for tax breaks and furthermore if they filled them they there wouldn't be a need for the HR department. Nepotism is the only way to get a job so you should marry an HR manager. Alternatively buy your way into a grad program and spend your life realizing the professors' dream of a mars rolling ball or whatever. In any case it's too late for me I hope you have better luck.
>>2943289how about no, no, no. you can't even make anything palatable much less marketable. you can't even get a printer that you bought to not break, how the fuck do you still believe you're some cutting edge genius who is the only one who though of getting his dick sucked by miku?
>>2943575I think he means don't just buy a kit.It's better that they see that you understand the concepts and can use them to build a system from the ground up rather than see you can follow the instructions that came with your robot kit.
Hey guys just checking in to see RWT's robot hand he told us he'd have ready by today ("they'll all see then!") that definitely won't be delayed for some bullshit reason.
>>2943600Omg i said like 10 times unless my 3d printer broke.Ill get it fixed this week.Anyways here is how s robot knee might look like. The spheres at the hip are spherical actuators. Does that look more mechanically complex than a car?For the 1 foot 800 gram test bot i mean.

>>2943652Alright, so 3d printer fixed this week, guess you'll have the hand by next Sunday then? Since you were so close to finishing before your printer broke anyway. I'll be here again (or in Art's thread if this one dies before then) to see you show us all how wrong we were about you. Can't wait.>say hello channers stay tuned for that hand i promised by sunday suck my clit faggots

>>2943697What robot? Your nonexistent delusional miku cumbot with arduino? Kek
>>2943579IIRC RWT has an Anet A8; stock they come with an acrylic frame. Breaking is the best case; if he hasn't flashed new firmware he's destined for a housefire.
>>2943697>He offered to take the printer to bangkok.Is this going to feature in your inevitable excuse?
>>2943739Kek, not even a proper "entry level" 3d printer, doubt that shit got the accuracy needed to make whatever coombot he imagines. No wonder his mikubot face turns out like that.
>>2943741He actually makes the face with a mold to pour silicon rather than 3D printing it.Not sure how exactly he made the mold, but the fucked up face is a result of his inability to work with silicon rather than his printer.
>>2943739>if he hasn't flashed new firmware he's destined for a housefire.He definitely hasn't. What code he does have is written by or taken from other people. I've tried discussing his code with him before and it becomes obvious really quickly that he doesn't understand how it works at all. From what I can tell he just barely understands how to use a computer. He phoneposts here, can't take screenshots on desktop (he photographs the screen), stuff like that.
