Connectocopter

A spiking model of the entire fruit-fly brain — 138,639 neurons wired by the FlyWire connectome — reads this robot's sensors and drives its wheels and rotors. Every frame below is recorded simulation output.

Rotor thrusts, attitude, altitude and wheel speeds are produced by a conventional flight / drive controller from these commands; they are not brain output.
