Edge AI precision dispenser for targeted rodent deterrent release

Overview

This is an Edge AI-controlled, offline smart dispenser platform for targeted release of rodent deterrents. It combines local acoustic and visual sensors with a patented microfluidic delivery system to detect rodent activity and respond in real time with precisely controlled repellent release. Designed for remote agricultural and industrial environments, it creates an active sensory barrier that automatically responds to pest presence without continuous chemical emission or internet connectivity. The platform is intended for integration with partner-developed deterrent liquids or semiochemicals, enabling tailored pest management solutions.

Technical specifications

• Edge AI processing runs on-device, using acoustic and visual triggers to detect rodent activity in real time without internet connectivity.
• Multi-channel peristaltic pump system supports precision micro-dosing of multiple liquid formulations.
• Piezoelectric ultrasonic cavitation produces dry-mist atomization for controlled wetting, eliminating fluid pinning or residue.
• Event-driven release ensures repellents are emitted only when a threat is detected, reducing waste and helping prevent rodent habituation.
• Plug-and-play design is suited for remote agricultural or industrial sites lacking network infrastructure.
• Patented hardware architecture is protected by national and international patent filings covering the microfluidic and AI delivery platform.
• Target response latency is under 3 seconds, to be validated in controlled pilots.
• A current 8-channel micro-fluidic prototype is available for co-development and formulation testing.

Technology readiness level

The dispenser is currently at an advanced prototype stage, with a patented hardware architecture and an 8-channel micro-fluidic prototype built for integration testing. A three-phase validation roadmap is planned: (1) co-development and formulation testing with partner repellents or semiochemicals; (2) controlled laboratory and field pilots to validate deterrence effectiveness, response latency, and safety of the event-driven trigger; and (3) industrial transfer, production scaling, and commercial deployment under OEM licensing. The system is ready for co-development and pilot engagement with partners seeking targeted, low-waste rodent control.
