AquaJelly and AirJelly Robot Jellyfish At Home In the Water or the Sky

Festo, the same company that brought us the Air Ray robot last year, has developed yet another graceful robot inspired by a creature of the sea. In fact, they have developed two versions, both based on the common jellyfish: the AquaJelly and the AirJelly. According to Festo, the AquaJelly is "an artificial autonomous jellyfish with an electric drive and an intelligent, adaptive mechanical system." Apparently the idea is to have several of the robots autonomously working together using a communication system composed of Zigbee short-range radio on the surface and LEDs when underwater. More info and videos after the break.

Video: Hands-On the Jellyfish Inflatable Beer Bong

Ah, Friday. Time for a beer related review. I'll be the first to admit that I have tried almost every variety of beer bong (I'm still in college), but the Jellyfish Inflatable Beer Bong was definitely one I hadn't tried, until now. Compared to other beer bongs the Jellyfish flows the beer (or any other liquid) slower than traditional beer bongs, but it excels in the fact that it is small and can easily be carried from party to party. It can be done by yourself, as seen in the video above, which is a definite plus for the binge drinkers out there. For the party hopping binge drinker, this is an excellent addition to your arsenal of beer drinking apparatuses. Other than that it may be worth a pass. It is available for $8 and comes in a few different colors. –Travis Hudson More »
