This invention describes a drone designed to scare away intruders. It's a flying robot that can detect a target, fly towards it, aim, and then deploy a non-lethal deterrent like a spray or powder. The drone is equipped with sensors and a controller to manage its flight and the delivery of the deterrent.
Why it matters: Drone autonomy and real-time computer vision for target tracking have advanced significantly since 2018, making precise effector delivery more feasible. This addresses the core challenge of detecting and aligning with a moving target.
