  • Patent number: 12778111
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for electroshock rodents using a millimeter-wave radar and related equipment using millimeter-wave radar. The method involves collecting dynamic parameters of a target object via a millimeter-wave radar, including radar cross-section (RCS), vital sign signals (e.g., respiration and heartbeat), and motion trajectory. A multi-modal feature fusion algorithm intelligently classifies the target object based on these parameters. When the target object is identified as a rodent, an electrode system applies a first voltage based on the rodent's size characteristics to electroshock the target object; if vital sign signals are still detected afterward, a higher second voltage is applied to deliver an enhanced electroshock, thereby improving the kill success probability. The system further incorporates a safety recognition mechanism for humans or pets to avoid accidental injury, ensuring user safety.
