We just deployed and published our whitepaper on VideOracle! Give it a read or try the protocol, we would love some feedback.

Opensquare is a no-code and no-design tool to create and deploy NFT collections. We just launched our no-design feature. It's based on Stable Diffusion and generates metadata and multiple images in batch, based on text input.

Re:Show HN: Opensquare's NFT Shop Builder on Tuesday August 23, 2022 @12:53PM (#32567689)
Hey guys, we've just launched the NFT Shop Builder!

It's a simple no-code solution to deploy a minting website for NFT Collections. You can fill out a form and, in a couple of minutes, you've got a URL through which you can let buyers mint your NFTs. Rn we're the only free solution on the market and we only make money when NFTs are sold, with a 30% cut on sales.

Check it out and let us know what you think :)

Join the discord... we're already discussing the linux implementation

StoicOS: Removing all the unproductive features from mac/windows/linux

I want to remove all the unproductive features from all the operating systems to free us all from unnecessary distractions, specifically:1. Video playback 2. Social media 3. VideogamesI am looking for fellow devs and believers in content freedom, to help me out in this endeavour and release these patches asap.Following is a Discord server to discuss on how to tackle the technical challenges:...

Pretty boring though. It's mostly me coding while listening to Yeat

Hey good people of HN! I just launched Opensquare, no-code platform for generating and deploying NFT collections.

Let me know what you think :) https://opensquare.click/

Show HN: Empathy-Driven Humanoid Robot

We're creating a consumer humanoid robot for the home, more specifically a robotic teddy bear: https://www.animarobotics.life/store/p/teddyTeddy tracks your mood throughout the day, reacts to it and then trains itself through an RNN to improve its future reactions.

( Read More... | no comments | on HN )
Care is our number one priority. We're getting Teddy into people's homes and from February '22 going forward all of the work we will do is going to focus on integration and security
Right now we're using GPT-J-6B for our conversational model. We had to remove the iframe chat feature from our website, because we went kind of viral on Twitter Germany and the chat continued to crash. You can still try it out on: https://alb.teddychat.click/

For the conversational stack this is our flow: STT -> GPT -> TTS (on Tacotron2)

Following are our social media account: https://www.facebook.com/animaroboticsofficial https://www.instagram.com/teddy.anima

The accounts are still pretty empty, but we will start activelly creating content from January 2022 onwards :)

Hey @pedalpete, not at all! Thank you for the feedback :)

The price is $3000 and the $100 fee is the deposit to pre-order Teddy, so we're definitely going to clarify that.

All of the feedback we got on here is a goldmine for us and we're making sure to address all of the points stated by you and others. Our main focus for the following weeks just became changing the eyes and building up credibility, and we couldn't have thought of that without all the criticism we got on this thread

We claimed to be the first consumer humanoid robot manufacturer :) Pepper isn't a consumer robot, in fact it's targeted towards businesses with a $14000 price point.
It needed some tweaking to handle the traffic. It'll back up in the following days!
That's actually a great idea thanks! and also very simple to implement with our GPT model :)
There have been some consumer humanoid toys in the past, but I wouldn't call them robots. The social consumer robots market has historically been dominated by quadrupeds, which don't have the same level of versatility as a humanoid robot, so we wanted to fill that gap.
Hey @pashariger, we're a young startup based in Italy, with a small team of great engineers and designers working day and night to build Teddy.

Thank you for pointing out the privacy policy/tos issue, we'll definitely solve that in the coming days :)

The endoskeleton is in Polycarbonate, so it's pretty sturdy and the servomotors are all high-quality and highly available third party motors, so it's pretty easy to repair.

Thanks for the app ideas! (besides the WarBear one lol)

Hey @alexchamberlain, yes! we're already starting to talk to brands for custom clothing. We're based in Italy and I've worked as an ML Engineer for various LVMH companies in the past, so that's definitely coming.

Regarding the color, we want to stick to white since that gives us more versatility for customization.

We have a walking prototype, which we are only showing to investors, due to it not being consumer-ready yet. We will start actively showing Teddy on social media by January 2022.
That's actually a feedback we've been getting a lot lately! Thanks, we're definitely switching to OLED/LCD screen eyes.
Hey, chronolitus thanks!

We've looked and interacted with Pepper, but they're distant from what we're building. They've got more of a research purpose, we are going full-blown social robot.

For the sensors, we're using the feedback we've got from all the 19 servo motors since they're closed-loop servos.

For the ML part, all the visual perception is being done the Jetson and only the audio and NLP is off-loaded towards the cloud. For the body planning, it's all developed through inverse kinematics and dynamic balancing ... no need for ML :)

Ask HN: Creating a consumer humanoid robot – suggestions for apps?

Hey guys! We're creating the first consumer humanoid robot, more specifically a robotic Teddybear. https://www.animarobotics.life/store/p/teddyWe just finished assembling the hardware, specifically: - 13 Dynamixel servo motos, of which 6 dual motors, with 19 combined DOFs - 36 3D printed PolyCarbonate parts - Jetson TX 2 4GB - Open CR 1.0We now want to develop some basic apps for Teddy. What...

We also implemented a GPT-J algorithm on our website to chat with it. Let us know what you think about it :) https://www.animarobotics.life/store/p/teddy
