EPFL turns to fruit fly brain to build smarter, more agile robot systems
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) researchers are unraveling the secrets of the fruit fly brain to advance robotics. A team from the institution’s Neuroengineering Laboratory have used optogenetics—light to control neurons—to study how brain signals drive movement. By replicating the fly’s neural circuitry, they aim to create robotic systems that mimic its agility. A … Read more
