Festo robotic aerial jellyfish

OK, I have seen some strange and creepy robotic systems over the years. But this is probably one of the strangest and creepiest. Festo (yeah, the same company that provides some of the valves in the KOP) recently developed the "AirJelly" - a robotic aerial jellyfish (check here for the YouTube video and Gizmodo article). I don't know that it has any practical purpose, but it would have been a LOT more interesting to see a few of these floating around in the Georgia Dome at the Championships than just those two blimps.
