Building embodied AI from spiking neurons — one breakthrough at a time.
There’s a new seal in the footer. Here’s what it means. The Bescheinigungsstelle Forschungszulage (BSFZ) certifies research and development projects under Germany’s Forschungszulagengesetz. Certification requires demonstrating three criteria: novelty (the…

A 560-Neuron Spiking Network Steers a Quadruped Toward Light For the first time, MH-FLOCKE’s robot dog actively navigates toward a light source in simulation — driven by hardwired reflexes and…

The Freenove robot dog can now navigate to targets on its own. No external reward, no supervision. It sniffs, turns, runs, and finds what it’s looking for — using a…

Today I replaced the mathematical heart of MH-FLOCKE’s locomotion system. The old Central Pattern Generator — a set of sine and cosine functions that produced smooth, predictable gait patterns —…

A 232-neuron spiking neural network learns obstacle avoidance through cerebellar error correction. 9 bugs, 8 runs, and the first-ever CPG→SNN handoff in MH-FLOCKE history.

The Brain3D visualization in MH-FLOCKE’s rendered videos now shows the actual cerebellar architecture — not an abstract network graph, but the real populations with their correct sizes and live spike…
