Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

University of Colorado Boulder Professor Nicole Xu is developing biohybrid robotic jellyfish by integrating tiny microelectronic systems into the live animals. Xu has about 15 to 20 moon jellyfish in ...

According to its developers, the transparent robot replicates the movements and appearance of a real jellyfish with its soft, ...

Researchers show how biohybrid robots based on jellyfish could be used to gather climate science data from deep in the Earth's oceans. Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They ...

A robotics research project at Virginia Tech is coming along swimmingly. A group of student researchers at Tech, in collaboration with three other schools, are working on the creation of a robot that ...

They might look like regular moon jellyfish, but these are not completely natural creatures. They are cyborgs – part robot, part jellyfish. They’re remotely controlled by Caltech researchers to ...

Soft-bodied robotics have long been considered the next frontier in autonomous underwater exploration, offering solutions to challenges traditional machines can’t solve—namely, maneuverability, energy ...

The College of Engineering is taking to the seas with an innovative robotic jellyfish, lifelike in size and natural in appearance. Funded by the U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center, “Cyro” — as it is ...

WASHINGTON – A new underwater robot inspired by jellyfish runs on renewable energy and could be used in ocean dives for rescue and surveillance. It’s the product of researchers at Virginia Tech and ...

For every practical application of robotics, there’s one that’s not quite as useful. For every cyber-fish that can swim forever for research, there is an equal and opposite quivering space jellyfish ...

If you want to gather climate-change data from the deep ocean, why not just hitch a ride with an organism that's going down there anyways? That's the thinking which led to the creation of "biohybrid ...

This time-lapse composite image shows a biohybrid robot jellyfish descending through the three-story tank designed for testing the swimming abilities of the modified creatures. Jellyfish can't do much ...
