Invasive Species Eradicator

Ecosystems around the world struggle with invasive species for which they have no defenses. The Invasive Species Eradicator (ISE) is a drone designed to detect invasive species and inject pesticides or herbicides into their nervous systems or roots while limiting negative impact on the surrounding ecosystems. ISE can work 24/7, requiring only a landing bay where it autonomously performs simple repairs, refills pesticides or herbicides, and changes its battery. ISE will mark treated plants and bugs to identify them as not requiring further treatment.

​

The ISE can be programmed to target specific invasive species. With a built-in search engine, ISE is able to identify specific bugs and plants at all stages of growth and in all seasons. The search engine will also direct ISE to locate the proper injection site. ISE does not require manual controls. It is fully programmable to function independently in a designated area.

​

ISE will take many steps towards ensuring the safety of our customers. 

     1. ISE will have a telescopic needle which is very precise.

     2. ISE will use a series of sensors and cameras to make sure it is accurate where it is injecting its pesticides.  

     3. Lastly, ISE will use environmentally safe pesticides to create a safe drone for environmental and            human safety.
