Arizona-based company, Axon, says that the high-tech solution is necessary amid a "fruitless" debate on gun policy in the US.
The announcement, however, earned a stern rebuke from the company's own ethics board.
Nearly 30 school shootings have taken place in the US this year.
Axon - formerly known as Taser International - said that it has formally begun developing a miniature, lightweight Taser that can be deployed on a drone or robot, as well as "targeting algorithms" to assist operators to aim the device safely.
According to Axon, all use-of-force decisions will be made by
an authenticated and authorised human operator "who has agreed to take on legal and moral responsibility for any action that takes place".
The announcement Thursday came amid a renewed debate over gun control following the 24 May shooting of 21 people at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
