FlyOhtani

A life-sized fly, 3.7 mm tall, stands at the plate with a bat, sees the pitch through its own two eyes as a pair of small greyscale images, and swings when a circuit taken from the connectome commands its forelegs, all inside a physics simulator with a body model from published work. The recorded hit in the README is specific: the circuit decided at 27.1 milliseconds that the ball was high in the zone, and the ball left at 808 millimetres per second at a ten degree launch angle, which scales to roughly 14 metres at human size. Playback runs 133 times slower than life. Korean and English.
