Are you making a sex robot?
>>
>>2953905
Yes but im scaling down the scope. Robots are coming out and i might as well perfect the head and skin and call it a day. Unitrees can also be programmed to do whatever and have an onahole between their legs. As long as its mission accomplished its mission accomplished.

study anatomy and aesthetics, you need to make it attractive to you, and I think a good start is those anatomy art youtubes. Your perspective is awful, that thing is gonna look like an alien. God speed degen anon.
>>2953910
Yeah for skin, a thing called ballistic gel exists to accurately model the consistency of human skin, you can probably try that with a dye to make it look realistic, but I don't know how that'd work off hand, look into materials to use for this stuff.

master sculpturing in blender and then go 3d printer.
There are insane tutorial videos of guys creating stuff and with little real anatomy knowledge buy great skills and anime observation skills. There are also tons of blueprints you can start off instead of doing them from scratch

ballistic gel models the average consistency of human flesh, not skin, it's meant for testing penetration from bullets not surface level cuts or something
I'm pretty sure there's artificial silicon skin out there, not perfect though, but maybe some robotics/prosthetics research labs have worked on actually recreating skin consistency, I don't know if it's commercially available though

Silicon rubber is the best even if its not like skin. People forget robots can have better than meat bag attributes. Id use ecoflex but its pricey. :rolleyes:
>>
>>2961995
Ballistic gel isn't even an accurate model of human skin. It was used as a standard to estimate lethality. No one ever said it was like human flesh until Mythbusters started putting it in every episode.

And it's better than nothing and cheap enough, but everyone always says this shit

face looks pretty good but kind of small and eyes are a bit odd IMO. The nose and overall face structure look pretty good though.

Itll be a combination of transparent plastic sticker and black screw. Ill try to make look nice.
As for cogleys skull i could use it but never mind modifying that thing. That skull is set on stone snd it has a lot servos.

I should have the eyes and speech circuit done by january and the mask done by december.

I believe in you anon
I myself have done four attempts of designing my own pocket pussy. I designed their moulds in FreeCad and used some shore 10A silicone to make the pussies. All were either too solid and right or loose and solid.
I'm too shy to order them online so I'm making it myself
Haven't attempted in some time but i would like to make the perfect one
I'm also thinking of making a linear actuator to make an automatic moving mechanism but copper costs money and I'm cheap

Incredible how everything gets harder as soon as people mention the applications…
Anyways for the up and down motion it could be piston or wormgear screw.
I recommend wormgear since its not supposed to be that fast either way.
A 550 dc ought to do the trick. Gear it down.
>>
>>2963265
Gemini insists on a motor driver but i dong like that solution. This is up and down why does it need fancy pwm.
Its also claiming its a high torque application when its not. Maybe somebody can chime in on a better alternative to the rs550 and give a more precise answer on thd voltage and gear ratio. As far as me im okay with a dumb onahole.
>>
>>2963268
a motor driver does not mean its fancy or pwm. it just means you can tell the motor to go forward or backward and if you pwm or not that's up to you. a motor drive is just a h bridge (routing to make forward or backward flow of electric through motor).

Im going back and forth really. The head is still the most important part but unitrees are bulky and you cant cover them with a sex doll and no spine. We dont need miku to do a back flip we need her to perform in bed. I can go off the inmoov jrs design for the arms, undecided wether to use cogleys skull, i do have an idea on the spine which is my contribution but im modding many things so i dont want to sell myself short. I may or may not reveal the mechanism for that reason.
As for the skin i may get a gas mask and a hot string for the torso and leave the rest. I hope i dont end up getting cancer.
I was going to add spherical joints to the legs but ill have to pass on that.
For the power ive decided to drop the batteries and go with a power cable. Ill be using an atx computer psu and using a breakout board. By the end well have a flexible sex bot that wont be able to move its legs. And i do hope that end is before 2027.
>>
>>2963287
Yeah but really it only needs to go forward if its done right like if you use s spring or it can go backwards if you invert the polarity. A driver takes up too much space. Atleast the l298n does.
>>
>>2963315
you would need like 10-20 atx PSUs to power like one leg...
>>
>>2963318
no the l298n chip is all you need and its smaller than a dime
>>
>>2963370
Oh then its okay. I did mention im not going to the legs anymore though. Scoping this thing down.
>>
>>2963424
not having working legs means its no longer really functional hardly at all, even for your use case. it just makes it way worse in every way IMO. Most people have scope creep but you have scope reduction constantly I don't get it you just keep wanting to make it worse and worse and less and less cool IMO

If you actually studied robotics, you would know that walking is quite difficult and power consuming. That's why the XPeng Iron is so impressive, it managed to walk like a human.
Peteblanks mission for his design is just sex. Unless I missed a memo, that doesn't involve walking.

I go back to lets make version 1.0 first.
Im kind of upset because people know what i want i want them to get the usdz on issac and for them to work on the sim. Im not going to do it it’s too much on my plate. I dont expect anybody to know how to use nvidia issac very few people do. Can you learn along the way? well yes itd be the only way.
>>
>>2963577
RWT, please don't take this the wrong way, but you need to proofread your posts. I had to reread it to understand what you were saying.

From what I can tell, you want others to do the NVIDIA Issac work?

>>2963592
Well yes. Theres no point in talking about making a robot walk without the sim. Theres also that whole alogs.space board. They too are unwilling to do it.

I was expecting it to fail like the other times lol.
Anyways wdym vacuuming the air bubbles? You cant. You can add ways for air to escape though but im getting impatient. For those whove been paying attention i did make a big fuss about being able to move the legs with spherical actuators. However, im going to drop that. Sorry.

>>2964839
Bro this is disgusting. You're wasting materials. Considering you keep fucking up, you should first assume you have no skills required to make a humanoid head and delay making a timeline because it's obvious you're going to encounter endless issues along the way and won't do your plan in time. Since you're working on the skin, learn first how to cast the silicone you're using. Make a simple mold, sand it properly if it comes from a 3D printer, use the release, pour the material. When preparing the mold you should keep in mind the air goes up, add a vent or two to prevent the air bubbles, pour the silicone in one place with a small strain and let it flow down and fill the mold. Don't cut out the eyes like a fucking ape - you'll never get it right. Design the mold to have eyeholes already done.
>>2966755
I think you're in deep belief you're going to show the world your successful journey but in reality you're scaring the hoes and disturbing people who happen to see your works. There is no community to tag onto your project in it's current state, except the kiwi farms.

I got a bone to pick with engineers.
Where were they when they pointed out the inmoov couldnt walk?
Where are they are they now?
The guy who created the inmoov was a sculptor.
Youre expecting for an engineer to come snd bail you out they wont. Theyre domesticated.
>>
>>2966851
you gotta remember, engineers are the guys who are stuck upkeeping these things.
the sculptor created the thing, but i'm sure he's not going to be the one stuck making sure it STILL walks in 20 years because some multibillion dollar company relies on the timing of one of these guys walking across a hallway to keep their systems running.
a lot of the time the issue isn't "it wont work" its "it will only work for long enough to become a problem"

its like helping a friend with a project instead of letting them figure it out, now you're stuck helping them every time because in their mind the solution has been found.

I think he was joking when he said that. He's referring to how scary your masks look. He has a point, I have been following your progress since early 2024, and you only have marginal improvements. Your masks always look dirty and as if they're old. And the cut out eyes look horrific, it would look like a robot wearing a skinned Miku mask. Just look up "Terminator T600" to see how it would look like.
My advice is, forget the silicon mask for now. You've wasted God knows how much money and time on it. Many fictional robowaifus have hard shells, even you agreed on >>2967142

this is truly awful and a very bad job, you should get your casting better first, you can make a smoother model to make a mold from. also you can cast eye sockets instead of hacking them out like a horror movie. no i will not be nice to you, you are creating an abomination to do abominable acts. for the love of god read the bible and go outside.
>>
>>2968299
Ill put hooks around the eye sockets or something so thats not a problem. The eyes are big so they cant be spheres. I also recently thinned and brushed some silicon. Also resin on the eyes. Anyways thats as far as the arts snd crafts aspects will go back to the meat and potatoes. The robot. I will also be neglecting the head animatronics a bit cause again the meat and potatoes.

5. Move its hips
6. Other things

how the hell do you want to sand the silicone lol, you'll only rip it up, this is a rubber material, what the fuck are you doing with your life

>>2968948
Do you seriously believe you're going to cause a worldwide impact to such degree where people will want to rip off your tech, whilst yourself not being able to follow simple instructions and cast a clean mask from a 3d printed mold?

>>2969349
You can smooth this out if you gently pet it with a blowtorch.

>>2969370
You can dissolve silicone a tiny bit with alcohol and then sand that. The main problem here is the lips the silicon around the eyes are not a problem cause theyll be pulled back with pins and string.

Itll look better after its on its robot skull with the right make over either way. Im done with the lips i just cut them up a bit like a bonzai. The look is not so much as a problem as the lack of stretchiness i guess thats my concern.

I made the lips decent by snipping it etc…
Itll look good youll see.
I already explained like 5 times the silicon around the eyes will be pulled back.

>>2969396
>You can dissolve silicone a tiny bit with alcohol and then sand that
You can dissolve silicone with a solvent like a strong alcohol but you can't sand it without ripping and slashing the surface - which is crucial in silicone because once cut, it tears easily. The alcohol itself will dry out and degrade your rubber.
>silicon around the eyes are not a problem cause theyll be pulled back with pins and string
You will perforate your cast and rip it. The eye area of your cast is just too thick to be pulled back without deforming rest of the mask. Even if you hypothetically manage it, how long do you figure this will last and withstand the forces applied? If you push/pull on rubber long enough, it will eventually deform.

You could probably hit your deadlines and learned a ton if you listened to valuable advice from other posters and applied yourself instead of doubling down on lazy, primitive hacks, baselessly promising it's all going to look great and fantasizing about patents.

It is an l wig lol im undecided because id gain less weight for the head but id lose miku. Well see. On the mean time heres an update. https://youtube.com/shorts/1CzH4o15sVg?si=yj3CHQPLlGskKms1

holy moly the mask was that thick? try rotocasting next time
>>
>>2969749
I would like to exhaust all options before i give in to ecoflex(well its like $100 here starting). I have super silicon i thats 10a shore hardness(i think)
I also have silicon pigments and silicon oil.
This is the first time i heard of rotocasting though. I might look into that.

Okay this is 30 grams of silicon oil with 100 grams of super silicon. The drawback is it takes a really long time to cure. So ill be back with the results in a day or two.

You will never get a good result if you can't even keep your workspace clean.

>rotocasting
Silicone typically cures too fast or too slow and at some point gets too thick (while still runny) to employ rotocasting. OP won't be able to pull this off with his skillset. What you could want to do is to use silicone thickener which will make it more sticky/less runny and allow to coat the mold surface without running down eventually to the bottom as a whole, but What you REALLY need is just a simple two part mold with properly placed air vents to prevent air pockets - then you just pour and wait. All OP needs to do is to learn to make a proper mold.

>>2969756
There's too much undissolved red pigment in there - or some form of dirt, I can't tell, but this is not good. Picrel shows proper coloring - consistent, monochromatic. If you want more lifelike face, you either put a layer of pure red underneath and then coat it with thin layer of flesh tone, or you mix pure flesh tone and apply details (red among them) with airbrush/sputtering or paint it with a normal brush. There are powder like fibers that serve as a "pigment" but they don't dissolve and don't color the silicone - they just emulate micro red spots on face

12 views on my last video well i guess while nobody is paying attention ill go work on something else that might actually pay the bills on the meantime.
Consider the skull delayed by 2 months.

Well no one can watch your video if you don't share them.

You seem to have an important issue: You don't want to actually BUILD a robot. What you want is CLOUT for building a robot. When reality clocks in and difficulties start to stack up, you give up because you're not interested in actually solving the problems. You migrated from /g/ because you were not getting attention there and now you're employing moral blackmail to garner attention from /diy/. It's not like building a skull for your robot would pay your bills anyway, and making your project dependent on attention implies you care more about attention than the robot.

You got a lot of valuable advice in this thread alone. If you followed it and showcased something more impressive, you'd get more attention, naturally.

>Consider the skull delayed by 2 months.
Lmao, because no one cares about your fucking crunchy ass silicone trash the skull is delayed?
Get a fucking grip.
Or maybe I should get a fucking grip for wasting so much energy on a fucking schizo.

Ive been looking for that side project that gets the point across and pays some bills.one of my ideas was a steam powered beetle.i was disappointed to find out thered be no way to make it fly. But i just thought of something. Jetpacks. Jetpacks are 60s technology and i know the recipe to use to make a mechanical beetle fly. Idk maybe. Cause theres the whole making the beetle move with no electronics part. Not saying i will saying its a neat concept…

>>2969882
bro, you just abandoned the idea of making a mere robot head because you got filtered by a simple silicone cast, and now you're jumping onto building steam-powered clockwork miniatures?
>pays some bills
How is a "steam powered beetle" with a "jetpack" going to pay your bills, exactly? What's the feature set? What's the target demographic? If you're implying you need to focus on personal projects to "pay some bills", it means you likely have no job. It ain't wrong in itself, but considering you're incapable of finishing your projects due to trivial problems, you should probably seek some kind of normal form of employment.

You should /diy/ your mental health first. Seriously - go see psychiatrist or something, estimate what is actually wrong with you and only then you will be able to assume a strategy that might let you keep yourself focused and growing enough to make a robot head. You have no basis, you should build a basis first and that starts with your attitude.
>>
>>2969954
Okay no yes youre right i should finish the head before getting sidetracked.

The robot will be 5 feet tall so i cant get accused of anything,

So i tried applying a little bit of red silicon on the lips and made a mess. So itll look like someone who tried borrow her moms make up i guess. But overall i think itll look nice once it moves youll see and at this rate ill be done with the head by february the 1st just as planned.
My next post will have moving eyes.

Why is it so dirty? Is this a fucking joke or something?

Why are your silicone casts dirty? What are those black spots, exactly? Why are you not wiping them off, why are they on both of your casts?
>>2969756
Why is there dirt in that container? What is it, where did it come from? Why are you not cleaning it up?

What is that dirt that's on the cable box, piece of paper and the mask? Where is it coming from, why is that dirt so prevalent in your workspace?

The eyes will be sanded. The mask will get some paint of mascara or something and the lip upgrades are on the way.
Thats ai generated but yes endgame migu.
>a onahole is also on the way for her mouth :p
>>
>>2970331
Thanks for the updates anon! It's an inspiring project.
]Kinda wild that you can use N8n to combine a LLM and a TTS together and make this thing talk.
Making it similar to Alexa would be a whole other project. But I bet there is a way to assign a "wake word" like Alexa and have it access a local AI LLM.
>>
>>2970346
I stumbled upon a miqu 6b haha.
Normally miqu is 120 or like 70B.
You can however use an api like chatgpt then itd act like alexa.
The ai ill be using will be local however ill offload the tts and stt to the cloud this time. Itll be so fast it might interrupt me.

Not quiet sure how to turn this into miku hair.
Should i ask cgl?
>why celophane
Because it weights almost nothing and the goal is a 500 gram head
>>
>>2970563
im gonna give you some advice.
build yourself an OSR2 before continuing.
its only like, 8 printed parts, 2 servos and an arduino micro (plus wire and a few m3 bolts)
i feel like it will give you some good ideas on weights and movements of "silicone objects" with servos.

I have a weight for 3 kg im not really guessing. The mask weights 255 grams. I ordered 1 kg of silicone rubber just in case. The forehead section with the 3 servos included weights around 150 grams or so i think. Even if the head ends up weighting around 600 grsms itd still be a success. You could technically swap it with a unitree with no issues and if nothing else weaker servos can be used for the neck.
Btw a onahole arrived.xd
>>
>>2970571
the weight isn't the issue, its the momentum, and since silicone is soft it tends to flop about a bit, which leads to odd sideloads when the entire unit is moving even slightly of centre.
so for a machine like that to move a 500g silicone device, you use 2 20kg+ servos, which WILL stall out with any load applied.
so your miku may throw its face off those magnets surprisingly often, my OSR2 has shorn through the aluminium horn that attaches to the servos and literally throwing itself off the desk with the momentum of an un shelled sleave flopping about.
>>
>>2970573
Will the tilting to the sides isnt so much of an issue because i may or may not use that and if i do im okay with moving it slightly or slowly. That forward and back definetly because you know.:p
Nice to meet someone who knows about this stuff btw would you like to join my discord?
>>
>>2970574
i dont know much about this, i just built the machine from the instructions , but found out some interesting limitations in doing so.
part of the issue is that you need a LOT of force to both fight gravity, and the pushback of the silicon springing back off you, and im not sure if the frame you've built will be rigid enough to prevent warping or outright breaking.
the issue with the sideways load is caused by the forwards and backwards movement being even slightly off perfectly straight.
look up some other silicone slinging machines and have a look at some of their problem solving.
>>
>>2970578
I am have the parts to upgrade my p1s and 1 kg of nylon cf for some parts but i dong want to break the printer yet.
