Other then video spying ability I don't see how this thing could do any heavy lifting. Maybe drop a mine or 2.

And I hope that's hydraulics they are using and nothing air based because that would seriously hamper their depth ability.

I saw a documentary about robotic flying jellyfish. It was called The Matrix.

An example of a robot smarter than the animal it's replacing.

The AirJelly steers through three-dimensional environments...the AirJelly is thus able to swim in any spatial direction.

If only Father de Carli had waited a few more days to learn of this device...

I absolutely must purchase 2 or 3 of these. I have to find an apartment with a garden tub, quickly.
