The name of the enthusiast is Ildar Rakhmatulin. He is listed at Heriot-Watt University (Scotland). His creation is a laser turret endowed with AI. The cost of the project is $250.
An experienced device consists of a pair of cameras that are able to recognize insects. After identifying the object, the device turns on the laser and aims at the target. A low laser power can scare away a pest, and a maximum one can eliminate it. Initially, the enthusiast used the Raspberry Pi computer as a software platform, but later changed it to Jetson Nano, as this allowed for more training opportunities to increase measurement accuracy. Ildar Rakhmatulin spent about $250 to assemble the insect killer. The build diagram can be viewed on the GitHub portal.
Ildar intends to improve his device. He also plans to mass-produce it, especially in areas where there are significant problems with biting insects.
