Meet Nefertari, my open source robot project based on MK-175
my name is Arugh, I am a tech enthusiast and a tinker.
I have this idea for to build an open-source companion ai/intimacy robot.
Below are the photos (sorry for the quality) of my charming Nefertari, she is a permanent WIP, if you are interested I will post more as I advance - next stage will be installing a passive interaction system, involving an Arduino and a few sensors (IR for motion detection, hall effect) and outputs (speakers, heater, vibrating motors).
Link to my album:
https://ibb.co/album/z6n2fv
The goals for the project are: Open-source, affordable, upgrade-able, sturdy, portable.
Open-source: Because privacy matters. This project will include a software component, mainly an AI that will run on an Android phone or a Linux PC and interface with a logic board installed inside the doll through wi-fi or Bluetooth.
Affordable: my goal is to keep the total price under 500$ Cad, 300$ Cad being optimal.
Upgrade-able: If someone wants to add elf ears, tail, wings, whatever, it should be easy.
Sturdy: Even Silicone deteriorates with time, collects scratches and loses coloring, TPE is even worse when it comes to aging. Polyethylene is medically safe and can last longer, scratches and discolorations are easier to fix.
Portable: Most dolls are heavy, polyethylene is light, thus easier to pose; also, you can disassemble her body and fit it in a suitcase for moving.
So far, the costs are:
1 X MK-175 (about a 100 $CAD on Amazon, linked below)
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B072M9 ... =UTF8&th=1
2 X PVC pipes 1/2'' = 5$
2 X Box of 100 screws = 8$
1 X Toy for shoulder joints = 4$
1 X Set of nipples = 10$
1 X Stroker sleeve = 15$
1 X Wig = 10$
Total = 152$, round to 160$.
Would love to hear your opinion on this, also, can someone please tell me how to upload images?
Have a nice day you all!

Arugh, have you considered--for a proof of concept--building your initial robot around a smaller form factor, say like a Phicen doll (1:6 scale doll) or a Ball Jointed doll (BJD)? The BJD would have an advantage of an already open skeletal structure you could attach your armatures/devices. It's just a thought, working with a smaller form, perfecting the movements, etc. and then scaling upwards to a life size doll in a later doll concept version.
Good luck with your innovative project. Very ambitious!

Sorry for delay in response!
Having people that appreciate my art is very uplifting,
thank you very much, I am touched by your replies!
@Joe 90,
Thank you for the suggestion of the inventor forums, and the links. Once I install the sensors and the control boards, I will post it there!
@ZombieWinter
Thank you for the explanation. I do not have much time to work on the project (house renovations keep me busy rn) so five posts might take time lol.
@Doll Dreamer
Interseting, I have heard of Phicen doll (and their copycats), you are right about the attractiveness factor. In the future, having partial silicone coverage on parts such as the buttocks, breasts, top of arms and legs would be indeed something to try. I have not looked into silicone molding yet, (what type of silicone to use and such) but it is a future step.
However, I find that working with bigger form factor in the beginning is easier. It is harder to attach controller boards, sensors antennae and batteries to a 1/6 size doll imo.
@Zaxdoll.
Yep, I am thinking about it. Partial coverage at least. Just want to get electronics working first.
@James1Fun
Thank you!
