Researchers have been working on developing robotic fish for many years. One such robotic fish is the Cyro, developed by a group of researchers at Virginia Tech College of Engineering. The newly unveiled robotic fish is a giant robotic jellyfish modeled after Cyanea capillata, one of the largest jellyfish in the world.
Cyro is a giant, slimy and tentacled robot that resembles a huge jellyfish. "It could be a precursor to self-powered, autonomous robots that monitor the seas, map the seafloor and even reveal secrets of marine life", said the researchers at Virginia Tech College of Engineering.
Cyro is a scaled-up version of another mechanical swimmer called RoboJelly. However, Cyro is considerably bigger in size compared to Robojelly at 5-foot-7-inch and weighing 170 pounds.. It is the size of an average human being. Robojelly was also developed by the same group of researchers few months ago. that was developed by the same team of researchers.
Cyro, the robotic jellyfish, is not yet ready to be deployed in the seas. According to the researchers, the new robotic jellyfish is still in the prototype stages. They need to do a lot of things to improve the performance of the robotic jellyfish to prepare it for the final action. They need to reduce the power consumption and improve its swimming performance.
