Most people would probably be freaked out as well as awestruck by the beauty of this jellyfish robot designed by Festo. The AirJelly performs a series of motions similar to that of a real life jellyfish to navigate and move around.
It runs on a lithium-ion battery and electric motor as well as a balloon full of helium. There is also an underwater version of the robot, which earned itself the name Aquajelly, which entrances the mind with its underwater ballet.
