MaleCNS Driving Robot

AlexNoyanov

A two-wheeled acrylic robot driven by a slice of the male CNS: the right antennal lobe, about 4,057 neurons of male-cns:v1.0, run as a leaky integrate-and-fire network on a Mac M1. Camera frames and three ultrasonic ranges feed in, spikes come out as left and right motor speeds, and a Raspberry Pi 4 relays them over WebSocket to an Arduino with an L293D driver. Nothing is trained; the spike-to-wheel mapping is the author's, and the connectome is cached locally. Three watchdogs stop the motors on stale commands or dropped links. A GIF and screenshots show it moving. No licence file.
