Surely the holy grail for the engineering world is the ability to make a robot that is lifelike, and although the robots in question are not particularly lifelike in bodily form or in thought, they have some of the crucial things that will move us into the future. Festo, normally known for their heavy machinery, recognized this and moved into making life like ‘beings.’
The Jellyfish (plural) are designed for air and water, and they are incredibly sophisticated and built using automating techniques that create robots that not only use peristaltic motion but can communicate with each other to provide equal space for each other and take turns at the recharging station.
But it is not just this sophistication that is what makes these so remarkable, it is their beauty and symmetrical-ity that makes them so incredibly (attractive?) beautiful, and although they are undoubtedly useless, they are a step forwards into the future.
