A Chinese tech company called Leishen Intelligent System Co., Ltd., known for its LiDAR systems, has recently introduced a bug-zapping laser device designed specifically to combat mosquitoes.
The system uses AI and laser tracking to identify mosquitoes mid-flight and eliminate them using precision laser beams.
The device has been showcased at various tech expos in China and has gained attention for its ability to neutralize up to 30 mosquitoes per second, based on controlled environment demonstrations.
The laser weapon works by using a combination of sensors, real-time tracking, and a low-power laser that is safe for humans and pets but lethal to small insects.
The aim is to reduce mosquito populations without relying on chemical sprays or harmful toxins, which often have environmental side effects.
This development aligns with increasing efforts to control mosquito-borne diseases like dengue, malaria, and Zika, especially in high-risk regions.
