NYU researchers have designed a flying machine that appears to use the same pulsating motions as a jellyfish. They wanted to create a small robot that could serve practical purposes such as monitoring traffic. The device has four wings arranged like flower petals, which pulsate up and down. Its tiny motor is tethered to a power cord. It can fly and hover.
