Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have recently created the NUSwan, robotic swans that can track water quality and upload data in [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Years after the 2011 Fukushima quake-tsunami disaster, rubble is still being cleared. To aid in cleaning up the area, Japanese researchers have developed a 4-arm, 4-wheeled crawler bot, which aims to help clear the rubble, as well as save lives. Dubbed the &#8220;Octopus&#8221; because of its 8 limbs, this remote controlled bot can be fitted [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robots that inspect the insides of water pipes usually use rubber wheels and treads to grip the pipe, which ends up dislodging rust particles that end up in peoples&#8217; taps. To combat this problem, the European Union TRACT project is developing a propeller-driven robot that keeps the pipe-touching to a minimum. Developed by Norway&#8217;s SINTEF [&#8230;]]]></description>

Cyro is a robotic jellyfish created by Virginia Tech College of Engineering, modeled after the Lion&#8217;s Mane Jellyfish. Sporting a 5&#8217;7&#8243; diameter bell (on average) and weighing 170 pounds, Cyro is the closest to a human-sized jellyfish [&#8230;]]]></description>
