Its name is Robojelly - and the mass of carbon nanotubes and smart materials can swim under its own power, with a 'pulsing' movement that looks just like the real thing.
More worryingly for robophobes, the robot jellyfish also never runs out of batteries.
Thankfully, it's here to help mankind - at least in theory. The blob-like machine is designed to help with underwater rescues.
Diagrams of the robotic jellyfish as it was constructed: Robojelly is made from carbon nanotubes around a 'smart material' which pulses to send the fish through the water
