Google DeepMind, in partnership with @HHMIJanelia, has developed an AI model that simulates the walking, flying, and behavior of a fruit fly using the MuJoCo physics simulator. This computerized insect replicates realistic motion and uses its eyes to control its actions. The model, trained on real fly behavior from recorded videos, aims to help scientists understand how the brain, body, and environment drive specific behaviors in animals. The approach has been applied to multiple organisms, including a virtual rodent, and the next step is the zebrafish. The model has been open-sourced with @HHMIJanelia to benefit the wider research community.
