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

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:13.360
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.080
Digital we're here at the parrot booth

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:18.720
and uh they have got something a little bit different on display we're used to

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:23.519
seeing flying vehicles from them but this one is mostly on the ground except

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

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

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

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.200
jump mode now in terms of construction can I actually borrow one of these for a

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.719
minute I'm just going to Blindside everyone and steal all the things from

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:49.239
it so they're using a highly customized

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

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:59.039
and then bounce back down all the time you are going to have to have some

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:03.800
extremely special tires on it and aside from having the power to move around and

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:07.759
spin around and actually it can it can walk around in three different ways so

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:11.560
it can either go in kicker mode which you can use this to grab things and

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

00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:20.200
jumping mode you are going to have to make sure that it is both strong and

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:23.240
lightweight it has a qvga camera right

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:26.880
there it connects to your phone or your

00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:29.000
tablet via uh 5G Wi-Fi so you should

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:34.159
have pretty good range as well as uh well not as much inter ferences you'd

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:35.680
have with 2.4g and in terms of the

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.240
connectivity you can connect to either an iPad or an iOS device or an Android

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.840
device now it does support both live streaming the video as well as recording

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

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

00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:58.360
yet but we should expect this to be released sometime in

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.320
2014 and now we're here with the AR

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

00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:10.319
augmented reality this time around it still has one camera in addition to its

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.800
barometer accelerometer and Gyro but

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.640
this is a much smaller much more low power device than the original AR drone

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

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:25.440
safety device so these wheels on either side so it's much more difficult to

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.840
crash into anything or in a more naked

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

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:35.800
won't necessarily be enabled for video recording functionality it's just for

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:40.519
stability so you can see they have a demo here with the mini drone actually

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

00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:50.560
looking at about 8 minutes of battery life and unlike the AR drone uh which

00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:53.680
required Wi-Fi and a tablet to control this one does require a tablet or a

00:02:51.959 --> 00:02:59.879
smartphone to control either iOS or Android but it uses Bluetooth 4.0 low

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:02.159
power in order to enable it small size

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.560
low power consumption and presumably low cost although they're not talking about

00:03:03.799 --> 00:03:11.519
pricing yet this has been our very first video from CES 2014 guys huge thanks to

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:18.440
our sponsors NC your source for great technology selection and service and

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:18.440
Corsair as well as Western Digital
