The winged machine, so small it can fit into a case the size of a carry-on bag, can be launched by hand.“You just shake it and throw it like a paper plane,” said Parrot Chief Executive Henri Seydoux, who said most previous map making was done from the ground in a “very long and very painful” process.

Fully autonomous during the flight, it can land on its own. Based on an area set by the user, the eBee records nearly a hundred images of the ground below it with precision down to a few inches and then feeds it into software that creates a 3-D map.parrot ar drone wifiThe product, according to Parrot, can be used for mine developers, urban planners, emergency and disaster management and more.ar drone motor problemALSO:2012 was safest year for air travel since 1945, group saysFire discovered on Boeing Dreamliner minutes after flight landsConstruction is complete on behemoth airship; remote control drone nz Seizure Led to FloJo's DeathHis 104 scores make his caseRestaurant review: South Beverly GrillBrutal Murder by Teen-Age Girls Adds to Britons' ShockComaneci Confirms Suicide Attempt, Magazine Saysparrot ar drone 2 radio transmitter & receiver kit uk

CES 2016 Drone Dance (Parrot) Parrot SA is a French technology company focused on the identification of business potential from disruptive technologies. With the launch of the A.R. Drone in 2010, Parrot pioneered the consumer drone and is increasingly positioning itself to become one of the leading companies in this market which is forecast to grow at 30%+ per annum to $6.0 billion by 2020 (Innova Research). Parrot asked BeTomorrow to work with them to create a spectacular demonstration of the capabilities of the Bebop 2, Spider and Sumo drones for the consumer electronics show CES in Las Vegas in January 2016. The demonstration was to be a extension of previous ‘drone dances’ that Parrot had done with a third-party. BeTomorrow used an new optical tracking methodology which made it possible to use more drones and a more spectacular choreography than ever before. Finally, two world-leading autonomous drone shows were created: the first using 10 x Bebop 2 drones;

and the second using 24 Spider and Sumo drones dancing together at one time. Testament to the reliability of BeTomorrow’s autonomous control software, a total over 100 shows were executed over the 3 days of CES with zero failures. The shows proved to be one of the biggest attractions of CES and received significant media coverage. As a result of this, BeTomorrow and Parrot have been approached to take part in several new projects which will further push the boundaries of what is possible. On Monday January 6th, a few members of the Thalmic Labs team attempted to make the trek down to Las Vegas for CES. CES is the annual Consumer Electronics Show that takes place in Las Vegas every January, attracting between 100,000 and 150,000 people each year. The show brings together the latest and greatest in the tech industry, with countless product launches from companies big and small. The show is said to contain approximately 37 football fields full of technology. Although it tried, the massive snow storm couldn’t stop us from getting to CES.

After two cancelled flights and five hours of sitting on planes on the tarmac, our team somehow managed to catch one of the few flights that actually left Pearson International Airport on the evening of January 7th (causing just a 31 hour delay to our initial arrival time). We ended up flying to San Diego, driving all night, and arriving in Las Vegas at 5am, only to hit the show floor a few short hours later. And while the rest of the week turned out to be no less hectic than it had started, getting to show off the Myo™ armband made it well worth it. One of the demos that we shared at our suite at CES included using two Myo armbands to play Call of Duty: Ghosts. As seen in the videos below, co-founder Aaron Grant is able to play the game using a Myo armband on each arm. His movements and gestures on each hand control different aspects of the game including shooting, reloading, and walking through the environment. Another demo that we were able to show off, and have others try for themselves, was the flying of the Parrot AR Drone 2.0.
