this is insane - I made a robot that plays ping-pong using CAT-INSPIRED vision A camera watches the ball. 20,480 artificial neurons process what it sees. Then a mechanical arm predicts where the ball is going - and moves to intercept it. Here’s what’s happening under the hood: →...

cat-inspired vision controlling a real robot arm is such a strange but convincing direction. if evolution already solved fast visual prediction, borrowing the mechanism instead of reinventing it from scratch makes a lot of sense.

"Mind. Blown. Your cat brain hack is purr-fectly genius - now my cat just demands belly rubs in exchange for ping-pong wins" 😹🤖

20k neurons playing ping pong is wild

Do you have any plans to launch your own meme token on the Robinhood network?

Love this. LIF dynamics are cheap to simulate but capture the temporal coding that transformers miss entirely. Tracking with 80ms lookahead on a 20k neuron budget is genuinely impressive work. Following the updates for sure.

$BRAIN is live. the open-source fly-brain bridge has a ticker now, and the ticker is becoming the input for a physical robot. CA: 9LuwgFQemAoV9rgVBBtwbRSxBmamcRRbysEK8yL2pump what’s already done: the neural bridge is working. camera input becomes activity across eight virtual neural populations, and that activity becomes left and right motor commands IMU data feeds movement back into the model. smoothing, speed limits and a 500 ms watchdog are already built in the synthetic demo runs locally today. the ESP32 scaffold is ready for hardware integration the entire project is open source and MIT licensed github: what’s next, in order: the on-chain listener goes live. every $BRAIN transaction becomes a stimulus sent directly into the neural model then the physical robot connects. the wallet address determines which neurons activate, the amount determines the strength of the impulse, and the brain converts that reaction into movement then the livestream. every transaction, neural impulse and physical response visible in real time then user commands. spend $BRAIN to trigger a stronger reflex, request movement, temporarily control the robot, name a neuron or place your name on the stream the loop, plain: a transaction enters the neurons react the robot moves a Proof of Reflex is created with the transaction hash, neural activity map and video of the physical response the current brain is a small fly-inspired simulation. the bridge and local demo work today. the blockchain connection, physical robot and livestream are being built now the internet becomes its sensory organ. the blockchain becomes its nervous system. $BRAIN makes the body move.
