Jellyfloats

Imagine lighter-than-air robots, made in the form of jellyfish. Drifting about in a room, they would turn the air into water. Spun from plastics, filled with gases, and printed with circuits, they would emerge into life from the spawning machine like soap bubbles. They are initially indeterminate, then become something real and frequently flawed, floating about, gently undulating. They might flex to the touch, but only to a point - often breaking on a finger leaving behind a lifeless husk as its helium soul departs. More can be spun, but the spawning machine breathes only borrowed life and fleeting freedom. Creating creatures out of air in a world like ours is somewhat immoral.
