藉由紅外線技術達成精確定位

安裝在空中的十台攝影機透過球上的主動紅外線標記探測球，並將位置資料傳送到中央主機。中央主機計算出的動作被傳送到球，並進行分散式執行。智慧網路建立了一個可用於未來網路化工廠的控制和監控系統。

獨特高效的驅動系統

八個球中每一個的直徑都是 95 公分，裡面充滿了氦氣。它們分別由八個安裝在外殼上的小螺旋槳驅動。這些驅動是自體適應的，並提供等效的正向和反向推力，這是對飛行物體的真正創新。

Adaptive propeller based on the role model of the dragonfly wing

The knowledge gained from the work on the BionicOpter was incorporated into the design of the adaptive propellers. Our developers took the wing principle of the artificial dragonfly a step further and transferred it to the unique drives of the spheres.

Like the wings of the BionicOpter the propellers of the spheres consist of a stable frame, covered with a flexible membrane. The laser-sintered frame is twisted once, thus making a figure of eight. Since the film is not absolutely tight, it inflates to one side or the other, depending on the direction in which the propeller is spinning. This creates a passive effect, which also occurs on the flapping wings of the artificial dragonfly.
