Like their natural role model, the AquaJellies glide elegantly and seemingly effortlessly through the water. This is ensured by their adaptive tentacles, which are controlled by an electric drive in their body. The integrated communication and sensor technology plus the real-time diagnostics enable coordinated, collective behaviour of several jellyfish, even in a limited space.
The AquaJellies were unveiled for the first time at the Hannover Messe in 2008. Since then, our developers have been constantly working on improved communications technology and on the condition monitoring of the individual jellyfish on a smartphone. An app can be used to individually record and track the current condition of each AquaJelly.
Thanks to real-time diagnostics, it is possible to make a parameter query about the current battery status, temperature, current power consumption and depth of the jellyfish in the water. A movement profile also shows in which direction the jellyfish in question is swimming.
