Flying insects are capable of a wide-range of flight and cognitive behaviours which are not currently understood. The replication of these capabilities is of interest to miniaturized robotics, because they share similar size, weight, and energy constraints.

The insect central complex is an enigmatic structure, whose computational function has evaded inquiry, but which has been implicated in a wide range of behaviours. Recent experimental evidence from the fruit fly...
