In this study, we created a jellyfish healing robot to solve the problem of abandonment of breeding, and tested its operation. Thin McKibben artificial muscles are flexible and can be driven in a bent position. The jellyfish healing robot was designed using composite components combining thin McKibben artificial muscles and silicone rubber. The jellyfish healing robot has thin McKibben artificial muscles in its legs and can perform curvature movements. We tested underwater movement of the jellyfish healing robot and found that thin McKibben artificial muscle can provide sufficient movement at low air pressure.
