Bzigo uses AI and a laser pointer to detect mosquitoes in your home
Bzigo, a U.S. and Israel-based startup, has developed an AI-based mosquito tracking system. The system uses computer vision, a laser pointer, and a camera to detect and track mosquitoes in a room. Once a mosquito is detected, the system sends a notification to the users phone and trains a laser pointer on the mosquitos location. Bzigo plans to create anti-mosquito technology in the form of micro-drones in the future. The company aims to provide round-the-clock mosquito protection and optimize the technology for industrial use. Mosquitoes are known to transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. Bzigo is scheduled for delivery to customers in 2021 and has raised $1 million in funding to date.
