Show HN: Neural Net Flies Navigate through a maze
In this simulation, flies are controlled by a neural network. You can adjust the hyperparameters. There's a maze mode, in which flies have to avoid some obstacles. I think the effect is pretty cool. What do you think?

- logicallee 10mo agoJust a note that you'll want to use the updated link, because the flies weren't able to navigate the more complicated maze - or at least, I couldn't get them to using the hyperparameters I tried. updated link: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/5f7017c8-98fb-4d89-a32c-19b2bebb3441 https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/5f7017c8-98fb-4d89-a32c-1...
- c0n5pir4cy 10mo agoI was wondering if the issue there is maybe the fitness function - the flies can get a higher fitness by avoiding the maze entrance early on by just heading straight up and early attempts to go into the maze early on will result in lower fitness.

- nwatab 10mo agoVery interesting. The maze is very difficult. Tries 2k+ generations with various params but can't let them go out of local optimal solution. They straightly just go up.
