Robojelly

In an example of robots inspired by nature, the U.S. Navy sponsored a project to build robotic jellyfish, many of which could communicate and work in a network. The robots themselves are powered by drawing hydrogen from seawater. Pictured here is an actual jellyfish with the Robojelly.

The Robojelly could be used for surveillance or environmental monitoring.
