Cover Story: Jellyfish biohybrid robots can perform programmed vertical profiles, but endogenous swimming rhythms and the slow model species Aurelia aurita limit performance. We tested whether removing the jellyfish pacemakers (rhopalia) would eliminate intrinsic pulses and improve control, and whether faster swimmers—Cassiopea spp. and Alatina alata—could enhance vehicle speed. In field trials, rhopalia removal fully suppressed endogenous behaviors and greatly improved controller responsiveness. Both faster species responded well and enabled much quicker vertical profiling, substantially increasing the reliability and capability of jellyfish biohybrid robots. View this paper
