The 'ultimate mosquito killer' uses lasers and AI — custom model trained to detect and lock lasers on these pests

A computer vision and robotics expert has developed an advanced mosquito killer that uses lasers and AI. Steven Cheng's project involves training a custom model to detect and target mosquitoes with precision using deep learning technology. The device, equipped with a laser cannon, is mounted on a high-precision gimbal for accurate targeting. Cheng successfully eliminated mosquitoes in his residence with this innovative solution, which outshines previous laser-based mosquito killers in terms of detection capabilities. Another similar product, the Photonmatrix, is set to ship in June 2026, offering a different approach to mosquito eradication.
