Parrot MiniDrone: A miniature drone piloted in Bluetooth Smart with a Smartphone or a tablet, that flies... and rolls from floor to ceiling.
Parrot Jumping Sumo: The first robot-insect, controlled in Wi-Fi 2.4 or 5GHz with a Smartphone or a tablet that spins, jumps up to 80 cm and takes 90 degree turns.
Even though it's technically not an automated drone, we're excited to try out Parrot's new MiniDrone quadcopter, a smaller and more nimble version of their AR.Drone. This mini-quad hovers in place and is controlled with a smartphone, and its roll frame lets it slide along ceilings and walls.
