00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:13,360
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Digital we're here at the parrot booth

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,720
and uh they have got something a little bit different on display we're used to

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,519
seeing flying vehicles from them but this one is mostly on the ground except

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,760
when it flies through the air so this is the Jumping Sumo it can do a bunch of

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:34,040
really interesting stuff but of course it's right in the name the main functionality is the fact that it jumps

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:39,559
it can either jump up to 80 cm in the air or up to about a meter in its long

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,200
jump mode now in terms of construction can I actually borrow one of these for a

10
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:47,719
minute I'm just going to Blindside everyone and steal all the things from

11
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:49,239
it so they're using a highly customized

12
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:55,079
lightweight construction because the idea was that if you're going to be having something jump 80 cm in the air

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,039
and then bounce back down all the time you are going to have to have some

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,800
extremely special tires on it and aside from having the power to move around and

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,759
spin around and actually it can it can walk around in three different ways so

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,560
it can either go in kicker mode which you can use this to grab things and

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,280
knock things or it can go into sort of like a segue mode or it can go into

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,200
jumping mode you are going to have to make sure that it is both strong and

19
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:23,240
lightweight it has a qvga camera right

20
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,880
there it connects to your phone or your

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:29,000
tablet via uh 5G Wi-Fi so you should

22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,159
have pretty good range as well as uh well not as much inter ferences you'd

23
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:35,680
have with 2.4g and in terms of the

24
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,240
connectivity you can connect to either an iPad or an iOS device or an Android

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,840
device now it does support both live streaming the video as well as recording

26
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,079
the video and I'm pretty sure there's something else I'm supposed to say about

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,439
it yeah it runs for about 20 minutes on battery and we don't have a price for it

28
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:58,360
yet but we should expect this to be released sometime in

29
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,320
2014 and now we're here with the AR

30
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,920
drone well the mini drone I guess it's not the AR drone cuz there's no

31
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:10,319
augmented reality this time around it still has one camera in addition to its

32
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:12,800
barometer accelerometer and Gyro but

33
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,640
this is a much smaller much more low power device than the original AR drone

34
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:20,840
as you can clearly see from the size it can fly either with what is presumably a

35
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,440
safety device so these wheels on either side so it's much more difficult to

36
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,840
crash into anything or in a more naked

37
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:32,319
mode now I can give you guys a pretty close look at it here you can see the bottom there's a camera but this camera

38
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,800
won't necessarily be enabled for video recording functionality it's just for

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,519
stability so you can see they have a demo here with the mini drone actually

40
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:44,680
flying back and forth in a pattern over some markers on a board below me you're

41
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:50,560
looking at about 8 minutes of battery life and unlike the AR drone uh which

42
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,680
required Wi-Fi and a tablet to control this one does require a tablet or a

43
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:59,879
smartphone to control either iOS or Android but it uses Bluetooth 4.0 low

44
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:02,159
power in order to enable it small size

45
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,560
low power consumption and presumably low cost although they're not talking about

46
00:03:03,799 --> 00:03:11,519
pricing yet this has been our very first video from CES 2014 guys huge thanks to

47
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:18,440
our sponsors NC your source for great technology selection and service and

48
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Corsair as well as Western Digital
