I would like to introduce one of my most recent models of humanoid robots that I have created.
Name: Lily Micro
prototype number: 6
Weight: 5kg
Height: 100cm
Functions: Human Movement, Talking, Listening, Vision,
Arms: 1kg payload with same movement range as human arms
Legs: Same movement range as humans, but designed only for crawling
Head: Sound, vision, and compute systems with AI accelerator chip
Soft Parts: Soft parts made of Platinum Silicone and include the Face, and the Body ( sex functions can be added if needed)
Power: Power is delivered via a power cord for now. Battery pack in Development
AI: Basic Chatbot, Basic Movement, Some simple Vision processing. ( Needs more Work )
This is really a complex device with many different sub systems.
Let me know what you think of the project:
- Is it Cool?
- What should The Robot Do ?
- Where should the Project go ?
Hey, I just want to say I love your project. I wouldn't worry about the height thing if the doll is proportioned correctly. There are tons of websites and message boards regarding the "adult" side of dolls and robotics that cover it. There are some laws but for the most part they don't apply. It's mostly religious nuts doing their thing (and ignoring the real stuff that needs to be addressed). The height thing would make the robot a lot cheaper to build and easier to get it walking around. A short anime chick shouldn't be an issue for anyone, especially with an adult-proportioned body.
I'm interested in making a similar project. I'm working on a very dumbtech head right now but am adding facial movement with eye tracking as the first part of the project. It's based on a wireframe body with silicone skin (I found a good looking mask). Inside is a commercial robotic "arm" that I didn't create, but I'd like to DIY something similar and better after I get a 3D printer. I'm considering buying something like the Tonybot and just expanding all of the parts/upgrading the motors, but I don't know if it'll retain its ability to walk. I'm definitely looking at the InMoov product for inspiration as well.
So do you have any videos?
I must mention that if you actually got a working doll together and could sell it inexpensively, you'd be cornering the adult market. There's no inexpensive product (sub $20,000) available and most adult dolls are cheap melted rubber that fall apart. You'd make a killing.
