About the project

Experimental bridge between a camera, a neural backend and a robot: optical flow and IMU feed a demonstration model whose activity becomes UDP commands for the robot's left and right sides.

Useful for

Run the synthetic demo without a robot or camera to check the signal flow
Feed a video file through optical flow and inspect motor commands in dry-run
Connect an ESP32 robot over UDP and calibrate motor limits via config.yaml

Why it’s trending

32 stars so far today, about 41 expected by the end of the day.
Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 38% of the previous week and a half.
The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
The repository is 4 days old and already has 201 stars.
Top new repositories this week: #56.
About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
