👋  Good morning. Summer: very fun. Mosquito bites: not so fun. That’s why French startup Tornyol is building tiny AI-powered drones that hunt mosquitoes with ultrasonic sonar that identifies the unique frequency of their wingbeats before chopping them out of the sky. The drones, which weigh just 40 grams, can patrol areas of up to five acres and fly for three minutes at a time before returning to their charging stations. This would have come in handy during that backyard BBQ gone awry.
