Festo - AirJelly

www.festo.com/cms/de_corp/9771... - Sanft durch die Luft schweben
Das erste Indoor-Flugobjekt mit peristaltischem Antrieb. Acht Tentakel nehmen die Kraft des elektrischen Antriebs auf und lassen die Qualle via Rückstoßprinzip schweben.
www.festo.com/cms/en_corp/9771... - Gently floating through the air
The first indoor flying object with peristaltic propulsion. Based on the recoil principle, eight tentacles powered by an electric drive let the jellyfish float through the air.

It has to be very, very lightweight. That's one reason it is filmed indoors. Any breeze at all would carry it away, just as currents carry jellyfish (which are essentially the same density as the sea).
It is a gorgeous model and concept.

[@CamTechBricks]

Festo have made some astoundingly elegant models here

[@asterlofts1565]

Me in 2021/2022: yes, you are right!

[@kvnzrns]

if there are mini ones and i am surrounded by them i will feel like avatar

[@billboyd4051]

looks like a very low stress place to work . Nice Creations Festo.

[@KILLTHE]

I'm impressed by this. It's beautiful.

[@goatghost33]

I think that this would be a great idea as a smaller more practical size (about as big as a basketball) because it would be nice to have a few just floating around the room and would be a great conversation stater at get-togethers

[@johnathonjonface2455]

combined with led lights and li-on batteries that would deffinitely have a market

[@sbove]

Such a beautiful design. Amazing elegance. Leonardo Da Vinci would give you his highest praise. ;-)

[@dowukrucker]

how majestic is that

Festo is te future

[@Sarahmint]

beautiful

[@SuperKiki200]

festo makes flying everythings

[@nawsaelee8055]

Awesome, surreal, .... ! !

[@casteretpollux]

Beautiful thankyou

[@MacRC8D]

Because they wanted it to have a Jellyfish-like structure. In this case it's about design, not 'efficiency'.

[@jereisluke]

How could people dislike this? As of now there are two.

[@orionma5425]

it looks like a feather star, if you haven't seen that it's even cooler.

[@mookidani]

*It takes of*
OOOOFF MAH GAWWWWD!

[@waaa9waaa9waaa9]

How does this thing move sideways? It goes up and down all right but the sideways movement looks awkward to me, more like, it's the camera who was moving around.

[@RockieC18]

I like this robot!

[@Saphirr24]

Coooool!

[@sdfPZXC]

Would look really nice in the mall

[@valderramajeria]

whats the progress on this prototype ? did you already notice the one thing missing to make it more efficient ?

[@HarvickOne]

Future of spacecraft/landers?

[@almostagoes]

awe soooommmmeeee!!!!!!!!!!

[@gbirbilis]

link seems to be broken

[@TheAustrianOwner]

air rays new friend^^

[@Moinsdeuxcat]

I want one !!!!

[@masteroforkut]

incredible?!

[@yigitpolat]

That is a sentinel.

[@SuperKiki200]

so thats how you land it?

[@MrFranciscoFidalgo]

Is this for sale?

[@user-yi4pz3zn5u]

I want this one

[@Cesarbrito999]

@Biotektan Actually I believe that it wouldn't as propellers are heavier and require more energy, yes at the moment they are easier and cheaper but that's just based on the fact that they are manufactured greatly it would be the same story with these if they were produced as much besides doesn't this just blow your mind. Festo designs are biologically based anyway.
Peace

[@L_S_Barros]

HOW I CAN GET ONE OF THIS

[@ascudeionaimprensa8910]

need this song please!!!

[@juliatchoudinova1326]

Are you aware of the Anicka Yi's 'In love with the world' exhibition? Her airrobs are very similar to your creation, but you are not mentioned anywhear, no credits whatsoever :(

[@Tarune__]

Brought here by gizmodo... Once again pointed to the most irrelevant but interesting technologies you can find on the internet. :)

[@Intimidator305]

@Biotektan then it would look and act like a real jelly fish which is the goal they are trying to reach

[@SnakeGodfromSaturn]

I really want like a very small one.

[@arekzegarek2125]

Extra

[@b-reviews7181]

I’m getting pikmin vibes

[@Lowness07]

Prototype for the Machines of The Matrix?

[@Biotektan]

Why didnt they just use a few propellars instead of tentacles? that would have been much easier, cheaper, smaller and efficient..

[@AEKAskenburne]

Wow - so anmutig!

[@JenkoTV]

There might be something in this. RC planes are too fast. Slow flappy airships are could be a lot easier for beginners and safe indoors.They could go further and have it software controlled like a airborne Sony Aibo.

[@Loeffellux]

u jelly?

[@skyhiker9669]

I want one.

[@heartlightseven]

The Octo Ring and Pinion drive system looks simple but I bet it was a bitch getting it just right and at a weight to allow flight.

[@tamironater]

i have a real live one in my house, it looks so much real.. so why would i need an electronic one for?

[@kurage_medusa]

gimme a mini one

[@michaiah3118]

This thing is a flying helicopter

[@hannibalPP]

evolution is best inventor, we just copiing it

[@BryB08]

I bet Spongebobs gonna like this one!

[@adingwoodstyle7087]

Apakah di dalam ya terdapat air gas

No

[@rocketxiv4980]

ayy lmao
