The drones They have found their niche in society and are already establishing themselves as a very versatile product, its uses range from being a fun toy to a work tool for the most professionals.

These devices have become so popular that there is even a sport of drone racing, high speeds and impossible circuits, and they are a real delight!

Today we bring you one of them, one that can be used even by the smallest and most curious of the home, a jumping land done with the soul of an explorer, the Parrot Jumping Sumo.

Parrot is one of the most renowned companies in the market for gifts, years and years of experience since its first donation (AR Drones) grant them a position that very few companies are capable of rivaling, and with all that experience embodied in their products we obtain as a result gifts that are easy to handle, resistant, intelligent and that open up a new world of possibilities.

Taking advantage of this experience obtained from AR Drone, Parrot released the family minidrones, a family of small gifts controlled from our smartphone or tablet that are capable of operating even indoors, with security measures and impeccable execution that allows even the smallest or inexperienced to use these devices without anything to fear.

But today we come to talk about one in particular, although this family of MiniDrones has land, air and even water units, today we will talk about jumping sumo, the little explorer who, although he does not have wings, does not need them either.

Speed

The Jumping Sumo is not a flying drone, it is a curious one with two wheels as large as the one that allows incredible mobility and a speed of up to 7Km / hour, more than enough to explore your home from the comfort of your sofa and even see the world from another perspective.

Real-time streaming

And it is that at this speed he is accompanied by a camera on the nose that allows him not only to take pictures and videos but to make streaming in real time From what the drone is seeing to the device from which it is being operated, this makes us forget about having to go after it to handle it, simply open the application, get comfortable and run.

Of course, if we want to make a video we must insert a USB into its OTG port so that it can use this space as storage, on the other hand, the photographs are saved in their own memory and can later be transferred via Wi-Fi to our smartphone or tablet.

A friendly drone

As if all that were not enough, this donation will not be able to bother anyone, and whoever sees it falls madly in love, it is a nice done to the point where if it collides with something, it will complain, and even warn with small sounds (that simulate emotions) when he is turning, when he has hurt himself, or when his path has been obstructed.

A bird without wings

The little Jumping Sumo cannot fly either, as we have mentioned before, it is a curious explorer without wings, however this will never stop it, and thanks to its powerful jumping motor (in the form of a tail) it is capable of long and altitude jumps, this allows you to get on any surface, avoid any obstacle and go from one table to another without fear, of course, as long as the distance or height does not exceed one meter, since this jumping engine allows you to take an altitude of 80 centimeters (which are not few) and fall as if nothing had happened.

A drone that can do anything

You will think that jumps like these can put the drone at risk, but nothing further, its wheels are covered with foam to make it lighter and more resistant to the terrain, something that allows it to cushion falls perfectly, and its tail has a rubber coating that will allow you to go where you need to without suffering any damage, and is that apart from being curious it is also very resistant, that is why even the little ones will be able to use this fun drone without having to worry about if it breaks, because it's made to last.

Communication

This is where Parrot's experience in this field really shows, and is that the drone is equipped with a gyroscope and an accelerometer, these combined sensors provide the Jumping Sumo with a central inertia that will allow it to regain its course after a fall, fall in the position that it falls, and even correct its orientation if some small obstacle has made it vary in it.

Autonomy

La battery is removable, this allows that if our drone exhausts its 20 minutes of autonomy (in constant operation) we can replace it with another and continue with our adventure, without a doubt few drones of this size achieve such a dignified autonomy (not having to constantly move propellers helps), and when both are finished we will only need an hour and a half to have them ready for action once again.

Connectivity

To connect to the drone, makes use of Wi-Fi, Jumping Sumo is capable of creating an access point (you can even choose if we want it to be 2'4 or 5Ghz), to which we will connect from our device and we can start to see everything that it sees. We can change the name of this network to better identify our drone, and for safety it will only allow the connection of a single client, in this way we avoid that someone can hijack the drone or even see what our drone sees live.
