Could you build this?
No This is a physical hardware product involving autonomous micro-drones equipped with sensors and targeting systems to hunt and kill mosquitoes in real-time.
What it would actually take: Requires custom embedded hardware design, miniaturized avionics, optical computer vision hardware, edge ML accelerators, and micro-propulsion/actuation systems. The hard challenges are sub-gram drone design, real-time edge target detection/tracking under extreme size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints, and safe physical neutralisation mechanisms. Demands deep aeronautical, mechanical, embedded systems, and robotic engineering.
