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.
>>2938079>rovThat's the goal. I would like to be able to go look at lakebeds.
>>2916159schizo
>>2938842Bro don't you get it? He's got TWO servos wired up! Two! That's how many legs people have. Lets rock.
>>2916125How do I become a robot
>>2938900Go to r9k and doompost
>>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.
>>2938893Don't shit on him; it's literally more progress than ArtByRobot has made in several months, even if it doesn't work
>>2939629
>>2939696Lots if place holders atm. The tubes should be large screws but are you following me senpai.
>>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
>>2939713>I cant make it any more clearer ty though>The sphere moves forward, diagonally and to the sides.I get that it's a joint, yes. Why are you sending it to me? What's the point you're trying to make?
>>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?

>>2939737It didnt come put too bad on the flip side though.
>>2939747Okay last post for todayhttps://files.catbox.moe/lbxdfm.mov
>>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.

>>2939979Hideous.
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.
