We developed an innovative software to track bees in real time and programmed a robotic arm to paint their movements. These movements were understood as the signatures of the bees.

During the shoot, the robot and the real time tracking system were placed in between the hives. Our in-house tracking software converted the bees’ route points into vectorized paths, forming the beautiful digital bee signatures. An algorithm selected the best-looking signatures, which were then drawn by the UR10 robot arm using Japanese blending.
