5 eMotionButterflies 4 Festo AG & Co. KG eMotionButterflies Ultralight flying objects with collective behaviour Special features of butterflies Butterflies are known above all for coming into the world as caterpillars and later emerging as mostly colourful flying creatures. What is particu- larly striking about them are their large wings compared to their slim body. They are wafer-thin and consist of an elastic membrane, which gives the creatures their unique lightness and aerodynamics. Technical benefits for Festo With the eMotionButterflies, Festo has now technically implemented their extremely graceful and agile flight. So that the ultralight flying objects do not collide with each other, they are coordinated by an indoor GPS, which could also be used as a guidance and monitoring system in the production of the future.
