Air Ray: The Blimp With Wings

Air_ray, modelled on the manta ray, is a remote-controlled hybrid
construction consisting of a helium-filled ballonet and a beating
wing drive. Its light design makes it possible for it to swim in
the sea of air, boosted by helium, in a similar way to the manta ray
in water.

Seems like something straight out of Laputa! I love it!

Festo also have a couple of really cool jelly fish robots:
