Researchers Develop Jellyfish Inspired Flying Robot


 
 
robot jellyfishResearchers from New York University have developed a tiny flying robot based on the movements of ocean dwelling jellyfish.

The prototype weights in at just about two grams and flaps its wings at a speed of 20 times per second.

It’s far from the first time engineers have used animals as the inspiration behind the movements of robots, but this particular device could mark the future of flying miniaturized robots.
