Somehow the concept of lifelike robot jellyfish is not a new thing. Researchers at Universities across America have been jointly working on the technology for years.

And so, the latest iteration of a jellyfish robot is ‘Cyro’, who one day could be used for all sorts of undersea shenanigans from spying for the military to keeping tabs on environmental issues like oil spills or creating detailed maps of the ocean floor.
