This is fucking insane could be a massive onboard
this guy just created a robotic body for a fly brain and it functions off 166,700 nerons in a single nervous system
it's literally the first application of fly brain robotics which is why its going viral on twitter with over 1.3 million impressions in 16 hours
THE FLY BRAIN ESCAPED THE COMPUTER. I PUT IT INSIDE A PHYSICAL ROBOT.
Scientists released a reconstructed map containing 166,700 neurons from a fruit fly.
I connected it to a Strandbeest.
The panel in the top-right shows the simulated brain running. Its neural activity is translated into motor commands that move the mechanical legs below.
The catch: this is a computational model built from biological wiring. I engineered the interface connecting its outputs to the robot.
First, the fly brain entered DOOM.
Then it played Chrome Dino.
Now it has a physical body.
166,700 neurons.
25 million connections.
One nervous system walking through the real world.
