AquaJelly is an artificial autonomous jellyfish in water, a self-controlling system which emulates swarming behaviour. The watertight laser-sintered body houses a central electric motor, the two lithium-ion polymer batteries, the recharging control unit and the servo motors.
AquaJelly uses short range radio communication to emulate its real/organic counterpart. Multiple AquaJelly(s) will act like a jellyfish swarm. .pdf on the top right of the page elaborates more on the project.
Exactly the kind of research I wanna be doing in 10 yrs time. Emulating, improving & redefining nature, humans included.
