Could you build this?
No This project integrates computational neuroscience models (Drosophila connectome / MaleCNS) with robotics, optical flow computer vision, IMU sensor fusion, and low-latency motor control.
What it would actually take: Building this requires bridging biological neural connectome data (e.g., FlyWire/MaleCNS connectome graphs converted to spiking neural network models) with physical or simulated robotics hardware. The stack typically uses Python/C++ with ROS/ROS2, OpenCV for optical flow, and specialized neuromorphic or SNN simulation frameworks (such as Brian2, NEST, or custom PyTorch SNNs). It demands deep interdisciplinary expertise across computational neuroscience, sensor fusion, and low-latency robotics control systems.
