The Bee didn't assemble itself, nor did it look robotic to me yet as it was not even shown if it could fly or do other tasks. Very cool demo tho.

The bee is incidental. The real "product" here is is the manufacturing technique.

It has enough technology, primarily built-in circuitry to turn electric current into motive force, to show that more complicated robotics are possible.
