Parrot Jumping Sumo
The Parrot Jumping Sumo – sounds a bit like a curious cabaret act from down-town Tokyo, but it’s actually a highly-advanced and responsive robot that’s controlled by your smartphone.
Suitable for indoors or outdoors, this lightweight (but seriously robust) mini-drone can reach speeds of up to 7km/h and features three impressive control modes:
Jumper: Can leap up to 80 cm in height and length, and like a cat it’ll always lands on its feet (wheels).
Kicker: With the built-in spring it can physically push objects in its path!
Auto-Balance: Balances all by itself in a “Segway” fashion.
Depending on your dexterous driving skills, it expresses its mood with customizable sound exclamations. You can expand and contract the wheel-base for greater stability or to navigate through narrow areas, and the sophisticated internal technology allows it to make more precise turns than any ordinary radio-controlled car.
