Benefits:

  • SIT targets specific mosquito species without harming beneficial insects and the environment.

  • The mosquitos cannot develop resistance, as they do with chemical insecticides.

  • It achieves long-term population suppression.

  • Significantly reduces reproduction.

  • Reduces reliance on harmful chemicals

The Current Limitation: Cost and Complexity

  • Rearing, sterilization, sorting, packaging and releasing sterile mosquitoes require significant resources.

  • Traditional SIT methods are labor-intensive and costly, limiting large-scale adoption.

Our Solution

  • Senecio Robotics automates key aspects of SIT with an AI based robotic system.

  • Our robots efficiently identify, sort and pack only male mosquitoes for sterilization and release.

  • This greatly reduces labour costs and makes SIT a cost-competitive alternative to chemical insecticides.

  • Enables large-scale deployment of SIT for effective mosquito control programs.

The Technology

  • Robotic conveyor for gentle mosquito handling using unique patented methodology

  • AI deep learning for real-time mosquito identification based on subtle anatomical differences.

  • High-throughput processing for large-scale mosquito sorting and packaging
