CES 2014: Parrot Toys with Jumping Sumo and Minidrone

Parrot is also infecting CES 2014 with the MiniDrone insect, but you only need one. The dog won’t even hear it coming, and it creates enough chaos all on its own.

A 5 GHz WI-Fi connection controls the Jumping Sumo with a Smartphone or tablet, allowing it to spin, jump up to two and a half feet high, and make 90-degree turns.

The MiniDrone runs from a Smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth and lightweight wheels help it climb a wall or skim along the ceiling before leaving a trail of destruction in its path. A built-in gyroscope and accelerometer provide good control for turning those corners, and an embedded camera captures the pandemonium these critters generate.
