Ultralight butterflies fly as a swarm, powered only by their wings — tracked 160 times per second.

Like SmartBird, the eMotionButterflies fly solely by the propulsion of their wings — ultralight and unmistakably alive.

Our onboard electronics control the elegant wingbeat, and our tracking software locates every butterfly with millimeter precision 160 times per second, so a small swarm can fly autonomously without ever colliding.

Premiered at the Hannover Messe, they have since enchanted audiences around the world.
