Cool Jellyfish Robot
November 2, 2008
Festo, a company based in Esslingen, Germany, created an artifical jellyfish. The company explained:
“AquaJelly is an artificial autonomous jellyfish with an electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system. AquaJelly consists of a translucent hemisphere and eight tentacles used for propulsion. At the centre of the AquaJelly is a watertight, laser-sintered pressure vessel. This comprises a central, electric drive, two lithium-ion-polymer batteries, the charge control device and the servo motors for the swashplate.
Just watch this amazing presentation video of this artificial jellyfish, flying around inside a building and water. Beautiful, cool yet creepy too. Hehehe. This could’ve been a cool stuff for Halloween. I wonder how much does it cost you to buy (if it’s sold:P).
