Fly Whiskers Meet LiDAR

The real Drosophila connectome (138,584 neurons) runs as a recurrent network, driven by a 32-ray 2D LiDAR scan (RPLIDAR-class) wired onto 37 BM_Vib whisker neurons. Nothing to install and no server does any work; the whole simulation runs in your browser, on your device.

episode ends on goal reached, step cap, or time limit, whichever comes first (robot runs at 50 steps/s). a stall (no progress for 1 s) also ends it unless the option above is on.

In every drop out for

simulated sensor dropout: the cameras intermittently die mid-episode, vision alternates ON/OFF in a square wave (mild/harsh are the Stage 5 benchmark conditions: 4 s period, 1 s / 2 s black). LiDAR (whiskers) stays on the whole time. Applies to every panel that has the affected eye enabled; all panels run the same world seed, so side-by-side runs stay fair.
