Parrot's Jumping Sumo is a “insect robot” toy that can launch itself and jump about 3 feet in the air. The French company is presenting its latest products at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. While the Parrot's MiniDrone is a "miniature" flying drone quadricopter.

Both can be controlled using a smartphone or tablet. The Jumping Sumo is equipped with a gyroscope and accelerometer. It can roll and turn 90 degrees with precision.

The MiniDrone is equipped with a ultrasonic sensor, gyroscope and downwards-facing camera which allows it to be airborne. The battery life is just 6 to 7 minutes.

The price and release date has not yet been announced.
