Robot jelly fish set to roam the ocean for years

Virginia Tech research team in the US is currently working on a massive project to develop a man-size jelly fish robot set to roam the ocean for years without exhausting its energy. 

The robot jelly fish is named ‘Cyro’ meant to be used to study the oceans, map sea floors and discover new things about aquatic life.

The Cyro is to be modelled from one of the world’s largest jelly fish with eight robotic arms and covered with a layer of silicone to look like real jelly fish skin.

One could easily begin to wonder how possible it will be for the Cyro to roam the bottom of the ocean for years without exhausting its energy. But thanks to the power source of the Cyro. 


The power of the Cyro is said to come from heat producing chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen which is being transferred to the articial muscles in the robot, causing them to contract just as real muscles do in the jelly fish. 

So since all it takes to propel the Cyro is a constant flow of hydrogen and oxygen and it is made to operate under water, we all know that water is made up of only hydrogen and oxygen this will easily make power supply to the Cyro to be relatively constant. 

In other words the Cyro surrounding which it will operate on will be its power source.

The robotic jelly fish can easily draw one’s attention to the Drones used to roam the sky by the US military.
