- Video of the FESTO AirJelly www.festo.com/c...
This new concept of a jelly fish that flies through the air has been presented by Festo at the 2008 Hannover Messe in Germany. Please read out blogpost airshipworld.bl... for more information.
Copyright by Festo put on RUclips because the Video did not work on the Website
Ouch, my mind just got blown. Please excuse me while I go mop up my brain splatter. This is so amazing, the infinite possible number of applications are unfathomable. The sheer amount of different instruments that could be attached to these.
There are no words for how much I want some of these things FESTO makes...
Can't believe I've never came across any of FESTO's products until now. This is pretty remarkable.
I NEED TINY VERSIONS OF THIS! Imagine if you can control these these things? I'd just have a whole bunch of em floating around my room, and if a friend comes over, I'll control them to float around me like I'm some sort of god ( to boost my ego obv)
I can imagine being on an airplane and seeing a whole herd of these things floating in the clouds. Almost as if the plane's underwater. Now if only they could make more floating fish. An aquarium from above!
The most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time... mesmerizing.
How can people not like this
so awesome!!!!
the way it flexes and contracts
so pretty...
If I owned one of these things, I would sit down and watch it drift along all day while listening to some relaxing music. This beats goldfish by a mile, lol.
You're right, I did read it backwards! Animation in something like that takes years, though, but at the least they found something fascinating in the same form. Amazing that AirJelly really did it!
This is... absolutely beautiful
I can see the headlines now... "Pedestrians Stung by Flying Jellyfish".
Cool looking gizmo!
Festo is a company that does control systems - logic programmed electromechanical bits and bobs, that sort of thing. This is probably just a demonstration of new technology such as ultralight, ultrasmooth actuators, limit sensors, etc. Something to show off their new kit in a way that is really eye-catching.
this is SO cool. i want to see it with my own eyes
those tentacle movements simulate an octopus more than a jelly.
Their stuff is awesome, also search for the Festo Penguin and the Festo Air-Ray. Flapping wings are always going to come up less efficient than a propeller, because the wings' mass has to be started moving and stopped, and started moving and stopped, every time they flap. They are, of course, completely beautiful/compelling to watch.
in a TV show called "Sports Night" someone talked about using "Space Squid" to fly through space and colonize Mars. This makes me feel like this is the first step
Thats just Wow ! Looks so simple and Delicate!
fantastic cant wait to see what becomes of it..imagine
i love the festo interactive wall.
Periostatic motion, like jellyfish, and marine-organisms like squid and octopi.
Incredible. Seriously, awesome.
if anyone wants to know, this was filmed at the Technologic University in Munich
simply beautiful
Reus, it's just music, no narration. But it looks to me like it can move its arms a little more forcefully on one side or the other to achieve locomotion.
fantastic! it looks like CG but it's real flying jellyfish robot .
@theinquisitor no I do think aesthetics has its place in engineering for example you mentioned sports stadiums and factories, and to make them visual pleasant we have architects who are definitely useful.
its hard to find good inventions on youtube, this looks amazing!! i rated * * * * *
its one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen, yet it also scares the living s*** out of me.
so awesome...i could cry
This is the coolest thing in the history of....EVER
This is truly amazing.
I completely agree. Have you seen the aeroscraft yet? I think the future cruise you're talking about may happen a little sooner than 2100.
@homskoult yes, they are radio controlled, you can see it in the info and the title.
Also, I think it's beautiful, just the way it floats... though I would make the rods translucent aswell as everything elsw plus it would look cooler with a better shaped body..... but it's still amazing!
Due to the slow movement of the wings and large size, I assume they're very light-weight?
filled with helium
so helium is the one flying the aircraft, and not the wings? Or both?
rEsonansDx it looks like it's insides is just regular air, as the "jelly" seems to fall down back to earth very slowly. The arms do not generate a lot of upwards power, but just enough to carry it's own weight. Think of it as a regular air-filled balloon with wings.
@SgtKashim and they are pieces of art, they are beautiful. I think there is also a market for this type of purely decorative robots
That thing is...beautiful
They should fit one of these with LEDs and have it fly around at some massive dance festivals!
original composition. can tell because one of the loops is from a movie soundtrack program.
I watched this five times.... Holy damn.
Thanks am learning every day.
This Jelly remember me at the movie Animatrix...looks wonderful
Whoa, amazing technology. I want an airjelly!!
Beautiful.
Gibson has a link to this on his blog!
This is an interesting design, I thought Aqua Jelly was a lil more usefull. But as a proof of concept this is excellent.
I want this and I will play with it for hours like a little kid.
Man there robots are incredibly simple, yet I would of never thought of them. There robots are very cool though, just imagine what those jellyfish can do, they could replace weather balloons. I could build advance research systems based off their designs, of course I must tell people were I got the design.
the big bubble is probably helium giving it close to neutral buoyancy. So the arms just push it up a little. When the arms stop it slowly falls back to the ground.
Here's where science and art combine, this is is beautiful. I love German engineering.
Ah ,they r super cool . I wish I could know about there mechanisms especially the robotic butterfly
i think these things are so light that it can be propelled through the air so easily without helium
OK that is just too cool!! Thanks for the video Plus gave it a 5 star rating
Jax
yeah air acts a lot like water that's why penguins are real good swimmers because they once flew in the air
I wish they had a wide shot that showed how it navigates laterally. IT always seemed to be moving all arms in roughly the same direction and speed yet they show it sometimes moving sideways. Very interesting, and frustrating video.
This is pretty amazing and very beautiful.
Is there any practical use beyond just presenting an exceptionally airship?
IT doesn't need a purpose, it's awesome. Someone make that into a chandelier for me and I"ll buy three.
How does it propel to other directions? It seems like it is in the mercy of the wind.
This is amazing and everything, but I still want to know what this music is. Shazam can't identify it.
Like Nuit Blance in PAris or something Every building should have something that lifts it's spirit, we are a concrete world of limits without dreams
@Robstailey Nope... they do robotics design, using nature as inspiration to find efficient mechanisms. These are just to show off, though. Their penguins, for instance, are a good way to show off the automated control network they've developed. The 3 penguins know where they are, where the other penguins are, etc. They communicate, share data, and avoid collisions. Such a network could easily be applied to surveillance UAVs, but penguins look way cooler for the investors.
this is really cool!
Beautiful
@johnrbarker1 Oh wow, I saw these on TV yesterday and wanted to do a little more research on them, I was hoping to one day purchase a few of the Festo Air Jelly's. I looked up you're company and honestly its quite impressive; although what really stood out to me were the movements that the air jelly preformed, do you think Festo might change its policy within 10-15 years?
~*wowza! *love it*love it *love it*
Jellyfish wisdom teaches us that even in the deepest depths of darkness, we can find our inner sourcelight, and tap into its unlimited potential.
ferry nice work.. It's art.
so graceful lol which is a word rarely associated with robots for some reason
You're missed my point: I said I wonder if the animators of Avatar were inspired by the AirJelly.
As Beamshipcaptain pointed out though: this is also a naturally occuring motion pattern in jellyfish, squid and other invertebrates. Could be that the Avatar animators never heard of the AirJelly.
Can't help but to notice the similarities tho. ;)
Hell it does. But I'd love to see these things fly outside anyway. Or even to see them carrying packages in flocks in the future or something.
im pretty sure that is actually Derren Brown flying that with his mind
@mkarnerfors
Nope, video info says this was 2008... Really, really the exact same motion though!
very interesting, but does it serve a purpose?
@fireangel32 actually being an engineer myself I must disagree. Engineers are suppose to do things to "benefit the human kind" (they actually teach you that). This creation does not benefit the human kind unless you consider "cool useless" stuff as a benefit. (I intentionally speak about engineers as scientists generally develop the theory while engineers develop the physical representation of the theory).
I wonder if you could deliver pizza with those things... just strap a pizza box to their underside and let them glide away to your house! That'd be so awesome.
It is beautiful.
Where is its power source? Does it have to be controlled or can it just be set free and it is aware of its distance from walls/ceilling?
It would be awesome if they made a life-size yamatsukami... This comes very close!
Imagine u going to work and robotic fishes are flying next to you and over you and everywhere!
RUS. Воздушная техномедуза - летает в воздухе. Завораживает!
@madamaura
I love this music, it's very relaxing. BUT.... I bought the CD 'Partner Massage Earth' and can't find this particular tune on it ANYWHERE. There is a track called Earth Part 1 (and part 2 as well) but it isn't this.
Is it possible you've confused it with something else?
Elegant!
Mount a video camera on that and it's right out of a William Gibson story.
is it filled with helium?
and what do we have to do to put people on this thing?
OMG this is what i'm doing for my science project! :D
Looks like a very complex articulating arm setup. Carbon graphite?
Let me guess: the helium balloon at the center provides exactly the same buoyancy as the device masses.
Pretty damned awesome, if so.
So, science has invented a jellyfish that lives out of water.
This is my nightmare.
Awesome!!
@kaychan Relax; sure, you could make one large enough to mount machine guns, but you'd be able to see it coming from miles away.
@johnrbarker1
I'm assuming that there is no commercial possibilities?
With like wind.
I should really look first...
Making you go "OMG!WOW!!!"; that's its purpose.
so this is all this Festo company does? makes floating aquatic themed robots?
go online..you can buy airships right now. Big ones...big enough to carry 30+ people and to live in/on...anyone can own one...They are like mobile homes in the sky..
Now, when can I get a toy-sized one?
Wow, that's just pretty.
@applesweeter I think that historically humans had a lot of freedom in water, we are well adapted to swim even as babies. Sailing the open seas on it's inmensity has been for milenia the way to look for new horizons and all being free from pretty much everything. Now we have means to fly but the sky is.. sort of empty really compared to the seas so we like to bring the creatures that acompanied us in our voyages the newfoun inmensity of the skyes.
@MegaZeroBlues one problem.. helium is heavier than vacuum :P
...giant airborne jellyfish? MY FRIEND SENT ME HERE TO CALM ME DOWN. HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE CALMING.
SHE SAID THE MUSIC WAS SOOTHING AND I TOLD HER I COULDN'T HEAR IT OVER THE SOUND OF MY IMMINENT DOOM.
So you're scared of jelly fish? Don't worry. They are more afraid of than you are of them ^^
i wish they had a min rc version i would die for one !
