Functional integration in a small space: The bee’s body contains the compact design for the wing-beating mechanism, the communication technology, and the control components for wing beating and adaptation of the wing geometry.

Natural flight maneuvers with four degrees of freedom: The artificial bee flies with a wingbeat frequency of 15 to 20 hertz. The wings beat forwards and backwards at a 180-degree angle.

The BionicBee is the smallest flying object of the Bionic Learning Network to date. For the first time, the developers used the methodology of generative design.
