AquaJelly, AirJelly Robots Based On Real Jellyfish (Video)

Festo's AquaJelly and AirJelly robots are essentially "based on their biological model, the jellyfish", with the latter design offering "'fascinating possibilities' for 'lighter-than-air' aviation." Videos after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.

..the AquaJelly is "an artificial autonomous jellyfish with an electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system." Apparently the idea is to have several of the robots autonomously working together using a communication system composed of Zigbee short-range radio on the surface and LEDs when underwater
