This paper shows off a decent stab at designing a bioengineered jelly
fish that swims around. After computational studies and weeks of
aquarium observation, their final design incorporates rat muscle tissue
with a silicone polymer body and is fueled by pace makers activated by
an external magnetic field. The result swims somewhat clumsily (As you
can see in this Cool Video), but it is pretty darn cool as far as proofs of concept go.
