A connectome-based fruit fly physically learning to operate a steering wheel in CARLA
About the project
A research experiment training a neural model built from a fruit fly's measured connectome to operate a simulated body and physically steer a car in CARLA.
Useful for
- Reproduce the pilot training run on GPU via deploy/launch.py
- Verify wheel-holding across 100 held-out targets after 600 optimizer updates
- Record synchronized video of neural activity, body motion and CARLA vehicle movement

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.
