Super interesting project! What stage are you at currently? What are the main open challenges that you are facing?

Everything works in simulation, and the detection works in the real world! We’re working on miniaturizing the electronics to embed it in a real drone.
Good question. How does your drone know the difference between a fly and a mosquito (and a human)?
I've watched OP's talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ScCG3qTOuc

At 17th minute he explains that they look at microdoppler signatures and can detect mosquitos through the wing flapping frequency. Pretty cool.
