I created the Galatea Multipurpose Companion Maid Robot. It is designed to be an IRL robo-maid girl. Local AI means you can talk with her, and she has actual practical uses. She's also very customizable, you can choose the color, dress, head, hair, and even which AI you use.
I intentionally designed her to be easy to build with the instructions and printing files.
I intend this to be the Model T of humanoid robots and robotic companions, while it is not the most complex, it is easy to mass produce and cheap. She's basically an open-source humanoid robot platform that's affordable for most hobbyists, with near-infinite possibilities and uses.

Current version as of this post is version 3.0.8

would love to hear about the technical aspects of how you built her.

a devlog thread even.
In December 2023/Early 2024, I thought of the idea of 3D printing a humanoid robot on top of a robot vacuum. I developed the concept and upgraded it until late 2024*, when I printed and built Galatea v1. For some of the models, I used heavily-modified models I got online. I used online AI apps, but shortly moved to local AI in late-January because I had help from users on /robowaifu/. From then, I made gradual updates, more proportional legs and arms, new head designs**, new accessories, technical fixes, then new arm, leg, and hand designs

v1 thread (backed up to save space on /robowaifu)

v2 thread

v3 thread 1 (we temporarily moved to Trashchan because the main board was down)

v3 thread 2

NOTE: This is not comprehensive, since some discussions were done in many different threads
*It took so long because I had a very big injury in 2024, so everything was put on hold.
**The head designs on the poster are actually in chronological order, minus the main head. The main head is in between the 4th and 5th head.
