Robotic Jellyfish

The sea sounds like a great place to escape from your robot oppressors. Not anymore. A group at Virginia Tech's College of Engineering have created a monstrous robot jellyfish. It's over 5 feet in diameter and has eight metal arms that pulse. 

Already swearing off the ocean forever? You haven't heard the most frightening part. These jellyfish robot monsters are programmed to be autonomous. They can already survive for months and months at a time without human intervention. 

But before these monsters destroy all sea life with cold indifference, they're going to be used for surveillance. So now you may have to watch what you say even when you're out at sea.
