"We're trying to learn from those 'animals' to get inspired and use the method in industrial automation production for further research and development. We get inspired by nature through searching for principles in biology and solutions to save energy."

The development of AquaJellies has led to widespread applications in the water sewage treatment industry.

Placing the robotic jellyfish in a rainwater storage tank enables better control of the sewage purification system and enables the water system to be protected based on various data transmitted by sensors.

"Since the robot is an independent individual itself, this means its maintenance and repairs can be carried out conveniently and quickly," Liu said.
