Mosquito killer drone: A palm-sized AI micro-drone has autonomously detected, tracked and intercepted a flying moth in mid-air, marking a significant engineering milestone. The technology could one day help target disease-carrying mosquitoes without relying on chemical insecticides. Instead of conventional cameras, the drone uses ultrasonic sonar and analyses insects' wingbeat signatures to detect, identify and track its targets.

A palm-sized AI drone weighing just 40 grams has achieved an engineering first by autonomously hunting and killing a flying insect in mid-air, paving the way for a new approach to…
