I’ve had a similar idea before, for roaches, but I’m just not sure how it could work. Surely any laser with enough power output to kill something would cause a decent amount of collateral as well?
- saalweachter 5y agoYou could make them pack hunters, with the expectation that 8-12 separate slug/roach lasers would end up focused on a target slug at a time. That way you'd be performing target recognition from multiple angles and mis-classifications would tend to only result in the not-slug being hit with 10-20% power.
- hutzlibu 5y agoWhich is the problem with they mosquito shooting turret, as well. I hate mosquitos as much as slugs - but I do not like people to loose their eyesight over it. There would have to be many reliable savety mechanism, before this can become a thing. Otherwise I will have trained one, to target ticks as well.
