Mehsana, Gujarat, ‘Nov 10 (PMI) Two young innovators from Mehsana in Gujarat have developed AI-powered drones capable of identifying mosquito breeding sites, offering a technology-driven approach to mosquito control.
Developed by Prime UAV, the drones can quickly detect mosquito habitats in stagnant sewage water, high-rise buildings, rooftops and other inaccessible locations that are difficult for humans to reach. The drones transmit real-time information to government officials and can also spray insecticides in areas where required.
The company’s founder, Pradeep Patel, holds an M.Tech degree in Mechanical Engineering. The organisation began its research in 2021 and has so far identified more than 3,500 mosquito breeding sites in the Gandhinagar region.
A team from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has examined the technology developed by the company.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisation also assisted the police and health departments through its drone services. Besides mosquito control, it has undertaken several environmental initiatives, including the aerial dispersal of seed balls in forest areas. (pressmediaofindia.com)
