Summary

• What is new: A biohybrid robotic jellyfish that significantly enhances swimming speed and payload capacity for ocean exploration.
• Why this is important: The vast majority of the ocean remains unexplored due to limitations of current robotic platforms in terms of their vertical range and measurement duration.
• What the research proposes: Introducing a biohybrid robotic jellyfish that combines external electrical swimming control with a 3D printed mechanical attachment to improve swimming performance and payload capacity.
• Results: The biohybrid robotic jellyfish achieved a swimming speed 4.5 times faster than natural jellyfish and carried a payload volume up to 105% of its body volume.
