THIS ROBOT HAS A DEAD FLY'S BRAIN AND IT WALKS LIKE A FLY scientists sliced the fly into thousands of layers thinner than a virus to copy every wire in its body the fly didn't survive the map did: 166,700 neurons, from the brain all the way down to... the legs so somebody built it a new body six metal legs, 18 motors, two camera eyes and a battery strapped to its back no walking code, they just wired the leg neurons into the motors and switched it on > it turned its head and looked straight at the camera > then it walked, three legs down, three legs up, the exact way a real fly does > when someone reached for it, it froze > when the hand got closer, it ran nobody taught it any of that the fly has been dead for years, and its brain still knows how to escape next on the list is a mouseshow more

THIS ROBOT IS RUNNING ON THE WIRING OF A DEAD FLY. NOT A BRAIN-INSPIRED AI. THE ACTUAL CIRCUITS BIOLOGY BUILT. scientists reconstructed a fruit fly nervous system containing: 166,700 neurons roughly 125 million synapses the circuits responsible for vision, movement and behavior then developers gave that wiring something it was never designed to control: a completely different body. camera input enters the system sensory neurons react signals travel through the reconstructed neural circuits command neurons produce a movement decision and the machine moves. the robot provides the cameras, motors and metal limbs. the fly provides the biological architecture behind part of its behavior. this is not consciousness uploaded into a machine. the robot doesn’t think it is a fly. it doesn’t remember being alive. and the original animal is still dead. but the neural machinery that once controlled six tiny legs can now send commands into an entirely new body. millions of years of evolution designed the wiring. AI reconstructed it. engineers connected it to metal. the fly never came back to life. its nervous system simply found another body. I broke down how a dead brain map became a robot controller below ↓

A dead fruit fly was sliced into 66 pieces. Now its 166,700 neurons are driving robots. Nobody trained it, no dataset, no reward function, no GPU farm, just the wiring. The fly took a second to die, but copying it took 7 microscopes running nonstop for a year, shaving it 1/10,000 of a hair at a time and photographing every layer before the next cut. AI rebuilt it from the scraps, eyes to legs with the neck still attached, 124M synapses and 11,710 cell types, 44 years of human labor finished by machines. Scientists first tried this in 2008 and guessed it would take 500 people 10 years. Then the internet got the file and someone gave it a body. Camera → fly eyes → 166,700 spiking neurons → descending neurons → motors. One of those neurons is DNp01, the giant fiber, the cell that fires when your hand comes down. Push an object at the camera and the looming detectors light up, so the robot swerves. It took 0 training runs, just the same reflex that gets a fly out from under a swatter in 100 milliseconds. Then came the control test, where they kept all 138,639 neurons and shuffled where the synapses connect. The behavior died. The intelligence was never in the neurons, it was in the map. The fly is gone, but the flinch is still running.

A STUDENT TURNED A FRUIT FLY BRAIN INTO AN AI AGENT AND STEERS IT WITH HER BARE HAND Google and HHMI Janelia spent 10 years mapping the nervous system of 1 male fruit fly, and on September 3 they released the whole map for free. 166,700 neurons and 24.5M synapses, every wire from eye to leg. She ran all of it as a leaky integrate-and-fire simulation and then gave it a job. The top-right panel is the brain firing live, the robot on the left is the agent it drives. A camera tracks her fingers, the movements hit the fly's sensory neurons, and whatever motor neurons fire decide what the agent does. Status: IDLE Pinch → RUNNING IMPLEMENTATION Point → SPINNING UP NEW IMPL Pull back → HEAVY LIFTING The catch: this is not a living fly but a computer model of real wiring, and she built the link between her hand and its neurons. 12 days ago this brain was a dataset Then it played DOOM Then Chrome Dino Then it walked a Strandbeest Now it works for a student. The fly died years ago, but its wiring still takes orders.

166,700 fruit fly neurons just took over 3 drones, and nobody taught them to fly. Scientists mapped the full brain of 1 real fly, every neuron and all 25 million connections, and put it online for free. Someone copied that brain 3 times and plugged each copy into a drone. No flight code, no gesture presets, no "avoid the chair" rule, just a camera feeding the fly's eyes and neurons turning into throttle. 1 drone hovers, 1 slips past a chair, 1 drops to the floor and holds. This brain spent 350 million years learning to stay in the air, and now it's back where it belongs. No GPUs, no training run, no $100B data center, just a brain smaller than a grain of salt. 1 fly gives you 3 pilots, and 1,000 flies give you a swarm. The fly is dead, but its brain just got a squadron.

Google just gave away the full wiring diagram of a fruit fly's brain, and a student turned it into an AI agent. Google and HHMI Janelia spent 10 years mapping the full nervous system of one male fruit fly, then released the complete map for free on September 3. 166,700 neurons. 24.5 million synapses. Every wire from eye to leg, mapped and public. She turned the wiring into a leaky integrate and fire simulation and gave it a job. A camera tracks her fingers, the movement hits the fly's sensory neurons, and whatever motor neurons fire decide what a robot does on the other side of the screen. ▪ Pinch triggers running implementation ▪ Point spins up a new implementation ▪ Pull back triggers heavy lifting Twelve days ago this brain was just a dataset. Then it played DOOM. Then Chrome Dino. Then it walked a Strandbeest. Now it works for a student. This isn't a living fly. It's a computer model of real wiring, and she built the bridge between her hand and its neurons herself. The fly died years ago. Its wiring still takes orders.

166,700 fruit fly neurons are flying a drone around my bedroom. 1 camera watches my open hand and that's the whole input. The panel in the middle is the brain running live 166,700 neurons, 25 million connections, the full reconstructed map of a fruit fly's head. Camera reads the hand, the brain fires, the output becomes throttle. Open palm and it climbs, fist and it holds, drop the hand and it comes down. 4 propellers the size of a coin hanging off a nervous system that belonged to an insect. The honest part this is a computational model, not a resurrected fly, the wiring is biological, the drone is mine, I built the bridge between them. I never wrote flight logic, no PID tuning, no gesture presets, I gave the neurons somewhere to send the signal and they found the ceiling. 11 seconds in, it holds altitude on its own. The fly is dead and it's still flying.

LEONARDO, also called LEO, was built by researchers at Caltech’s Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies. Its full name means LEgs ONboARD drOne. The idea is simple but unusual: • Build a small biped robot • Give it drone-style thrust • Use the legs for ground contact • Use the propellers for balance and lift • Combine walking, hopping and flying in one system LEO is basically a hybrid between a walking robot and a flying drone. How it was built: • Two lightweight legs • Three actuated joints in each leg • Four propeller thrusters near the shoulders • A lightweight body • Leg motors for ground movement • Propellers for balance, lift and aerial control • Real-time control software that synchronizes the legs and propellers How it walks: • The legs move the robot forward • The feet touch the ground like a normal biped • The propellers constantly correct balance from above • The robot can stay upright even in unstable situations • The thrust reduces the risk of falling during difficult motions How it flies: • The legs stop being the main locomotion system • The four propellers generate lift • The robot behaves more like a drone • It can take off, fly over obstacles and land back on its legs What makes it different: • It does not walk like a normal humanoid • It does not fly like a normal drone • It blends both systems • The legs handle contact with the ground • The propellers act like fast stabilizers • The control system decides how much help comes from the legs and how much comes from thrust That is why LEO can: • Walk • Hop • Fly over obstacles • Ride a skateboard • Balance on a slackline The key idea is walking with aerial stabilization.

$166,000 neurons from a dead fruit fly now hunt drones from a bedroom desk. A white drone the size of a palm lifts off the carpet, and a black 3D-printed turret on the desk swings after it, with the fly's brain working its 2 stepper motors, 1 camera and 2 barrels through a nest of rainbow wires on a breadboard. That brain sits in the top-left corner of the screen and flares every time the drone jerks. A Patriot interceptor costs about $4 million, and armies are firing them at drones worth a fraction of that. This brain is smaller than a poppy seed, and Google put it online for free 2 weeks ago. Then someone gave it a job it was built for. Most of a fly's brain exists to see motion, and this brain is male, and male flies spend their lives chasing whatever moves. The drone climbs past the ceiling fan and the crosshair climbs with it, then drops when it drops. For 18 seconds it never loses the drone. In the last shot the drone flies home to the guy holding the controller, and the crosshair follows it right onto his chest. It spent its whole life dodging swatters. Now it's the one aiming.$

166,700 neurons from a male fruit fly's brain are teaching a pair of silicone lips to talk. A steel frame, a silicone tongue, a row of motors under the jaw and a microphone pointed straight at the mouth, with no speaker anywhere. Air pushes through artificial vocal cords, the motors bend the lips and the microphone catches every sound it makes. If the pitch is off, the motors shift before the next try. Nobody coded the words: it finds each lip shape by trial and error and uses old sounds to guess new ones. Babies learn to talk the same way: babble, listen, fix, repeat. The new part is the brain in the corner of the screen, with 166,700 neurons and 125 million synapses packed into something smaller than a poppy seed. Scientists spent 10 years mapping every wire, and the job took 44 years of human labor. Male fruit flies already sing: they buzz 1 wing to court a female, and she hears the song through her antennae. That song never had a mouth until now. A trained linear readout turns its spikes into words and the mouth does the rest. You needed 86 billion neurons and 12 months to say "mama." The fly needs 166,700 and a microphone.

$A Stanford student put 166,700 fruit fly neurons in a robot that now writes homework for 30 students. Not one of them has picked up a pen since. The robot is a black aluminum rig with a blue ballpoint, writing square roots and fractions line after line in handwriting that doesn't look like a machine's, while the fly's neurons glow in the corner of the screen. Each student gives it a handwriting sample, and the fly learns the slant, the spacing, the size of the loops and where the letters get lazy at the end of a line, then writes as that student. 30 notebooks, 30 different hands and 1 brain. That brain is smaller than a poppy seed, and a human brain has over 500,000 times more neurons, but the fly doesn't get tired, doesn't smudge the ink and never mixes up whose 7s have a line through them. The teacher checks 30 notebooks, and a fly wrote every one.$

UPDATE: Flyctor has a second body now I bought another Vector robot and connected it to the same stack: - a camera feed - GPT-6 Astra for real-time visual understanding - a MaleCNS fly-brain simulation for movement decisions - a small audio protocol for robot-to-robot communication I didn't let them exchange normal Wi-Fi messages. Instead, each robot has to communicate through its speaker and microphone. One robot emits a short sequence of tones. The other records the sound, converts it into a frequency pattern, classifies the pattern, and injects it into its fly-brain simulation as a sensory event. Right now their entire vocabulary is only four signals: one chirp = "I found an object" two chirps = "come closer" long tone = "path blocked" rapid chirps = "I need help" The interesting part is that the robots don't send coordinates. They don't share a map. They don't know where the other robot is. One Flyctor sees something through Astra, decides it matters, sends a sound, and the other Flyctor has to hear it, interpret it, then decide what to do with that information. camera -> Astra -> fly brain -> speaker microphone -> audio decoder -> fly brain -> movement It is basically a tiny sensory loop between two digital insect nervous systems. Yesterday one robot detected a blocked path and sent the long-tone signal. The other one heard it, turned toward the sound, and rolled over to investigate. It was not impressive in the way modern AI demos are impressive. It was impressive because it felt like watching two small creatures notice each other for the first time.

One Flyctor sees something through Astra, decides it matters, sends a sound, and the other Flyctor has to hear it, interpret it, then decide what to do with that information. camera -> Astra -> fly brain -> speaker microphone -> audio decoder -> fly brain -> movement It is basically a tiny sensory loop between two digital insect nervous systems. Yesterday one robot detected a blocked path and sent the long-tone signal. The other one heard it, turned toward the sound, and rolled over to investigate. It was not impressive in the way modern AI demos are impressive. It was impressive because it felt like watching two small creatures notice each other for the first time.

A ROBOT JUST FLEW UP, HOVERED IN PLACE, AND GRABBED A GUN OUT OF SOMEONE'S HANDS. 🚀🤖 It stood up, then lifted straight off the ground on a jetpack — arms and legs hanging loose while its body held steady in the air. It tilted side to side, staying balanced without ever touching down. Then a worker walked up and handed it a rifle. Still hovering, the robot reached out, took it, and held it steady. No walking. No running. It just skipped straight to flying.

I gave the fruit fly brain a fruit fly body and put it into a fruit fly sim. Now you can watch him eat, fly, and shit live on

A FLY’S VISUAL SYSTEM COULD BECOME A ROBOT’S EYES. not by copying the eyes. by copying the wiring behind them. a fly’s brain doesn’t build a detailed picture of the world. its visual circuits reduce light, contrast and motion into decisions: something moved obstacle ahead turn keep going AI helped reconstruct a map containing 166,700 neurons and roughly 125 million synapses. developers can take the visual pathways from that map and build a loop: camera frame → modeled neural activity → movement command → robot the camera supplies the pixels. the fly’s wiring decides which pixels matter. this does not mean the robot sees, understands or thinks like a fly. but it shows something more useful: millions of years of biological visual processing can become an inspectable control system. the fly is dead. its solution to vision doesn’t have to die with it. I broke down how biological wiring could become a robot’s navigation system below ↓

🪰 Scientists created a fly by rebuilding its brain neuron by neuron in a virtual body, and it began behaving like a real fly, walking, grooming, and feeding on its own without any training or guidance from scientists. Crazy … soon they can create virtual versions of real humans who died?

I BUILT A FLY A FULL BREWERY AND IT STARTED MAKING BEER It starts with a fly dragging a pallet jack loaded with seven bags of milled malt into an industrial brewing system. Then it gets to work. It opens the boiler valves, starts the transfer pump, moves mash between three massive tanks and climbs the metal stairs carrying a 33 kg bag of Pilsner malt like this is just another day at the brewery. The entire process is being controlled step by step. The fly decides when to open the steam, when to transfer the mash, when to start cooling and when to move on to the next stage. Every action appears in the log while a neural network with 393 nodes and 472 connections keeps track of the decisions happening behind the scenes. Then comes the part I really didn't expect to see. The fly adds its own hops. FLYHOPS goes into the kettle, the wort starts moving through the system and the little brewer goes back to work. A few moments later, it opens the cooling water and finally hovers over the last tank to add FLYMENTIS yeast. > Malt > Hops > Yeast Three giant tanks. One very determined fly. I think I accidentally gave an insect everything it needs to start its own brewery

A rare Indian Giant Flying Squirrel has been spotted in the forests of Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, for the first time in nearly 12 years after it wandered into a villager’s house. The nocturnal animal was safely rescued by the Forest Department and will be released back into the wild after a health check. Despite its name, it doesn’t actually fly. Using a flap of skin between its legs, it glides gracefully from tree to tree, sometimes covering up to 80 metres in a single glide.
