Abstract: In 2025, Senecio deployed and operated a fully robotic, AI-driven mosquito production facility designed to mass-rear and sterilize male mosquitoes for release across 13 municipalities in Israel, simultaneously and continuously throughout the mosquito season. This presentation will share the company’s experience in translating R&D into an operational, industrial-grade factory capable of supporting multiple local authorities in parallel.
The talk will outline the technological and operational framework enabling high-throughput, quality-controlled production of sterile males, focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence, robotics, and real-time monitoring systems. Attendees will gain insight into the challenges of maintaining consistent biological output while scaling logistics, distribution, and collaboration with diverse municipal partners.
Beyond the technical perspective, the presentation will highlight feedback from the field, both successes and lessons learned, as the system moved from pilot projects to full-scale regional implementation. Finally, the session will explore how Senecio’s experience reflects the broader future of bio-industrial automation: the intersection of robotics, AI, and vector control as a model for sustainable, scalable public-health innovation.
