Tello’s New Smart Drone Toy

Ryze Tech is a start­up that devel­oped the first smart drone toy called “Tel­lo”, offi­cial­ly released at CES 2018 in Las Vegas

Tel­lo is a toy quad­copter that com­bines fun, form and func­tion with the abil­i­ty to pro­vide an incred­i­ble expe­ri­ence and enter­tain­ment for kids of all ages. The weight of the copter is only 85g with the size of a watch. It can be acti­vat­ed by throw­ing and land on the hand.

Tel­lo has an HD cam­era with “EZ Shot” func­tion, which allows you to shoot video, fly in a cir­cle, or com­mand the copter to per­form a smooth departure/arrival. Now you can devote more time to pos­ing in front of the cam­era. Whether you’re flip­ping, toss­ing it in the air, or rac­ing it through obsta­cles, Tel­lo’s con­trols are sim­ple thanks to com­put­er vision and an inter­nal sta­bi­liza­tion sys­tem.

Secu­ri­ty and sta­bil­i­ty thanks to the best tech­nol­o­gy

Tel­lo was designed not only for fun, but also with ease and safe­ty in mind. It comes with flex­i­ble pro­pellers, pro­peller guards and anti-col­li­sion sys­tem. And even when you do not con­trol the flight with your hands — Tel­lo hangs in place with­out move­ment. These fea­tures plus auto take off, auto land­ing, bat­tery drain pro­tec­tion will allow your kids to use it with ease and com­fort. It’s all made pos­si­ble by a high-per­for­mance Intel® VPU and DJI’s best-in-class sta­bi­liza­tion tech­nolo­gies.

Minia­ture intel­li­gence for max­i­mum fun and enjoy­ment

Tel­lo is equipped with an Intel® Movid­ius™ Myr­i­ad™ 2 proces­sor that receives real-time data from up to 5 sen­sors so it can “see” the world around it. Thanks to a spe­cial “vision” sys­tem, Tel­lo can hov­er with amaz­ing accu­ra­cy and land on an out­stretched arm. With the tech­nol­o­gy inside, users will be able to enjoy the action while Tel­lo does the rest.

Sit in the pilot’s seat to see every­thing from the first per­son

For those who love speed and adren­a­line, the installed HD cam­era allows you to feel in the pilot’s seat and see every­thing in real time. Trans­fer­ring HD video to your smart­phone or tablet will give you a new expe­ri­ence. The sys­tem is com­pat­i­ble with pop­u­lar VR gog­gles for immer­sive drone rac­ing.

Play is an impor­tant part of learn­ing

The abil­i­ty to pro­gram is an impor­tant part of mod­ern lit­er­a­cy. It allows chil­dren to learn to solve prob­lems cre­ative­ly, and to com­mu­ni­cate to solve prob­lems. Ryze engi­neers made Tel­lo pro­gram­ma­ble using the Scratch pro­gram­ming lan­guage (https://scratch.mit.edu/), which allows kids and teens to learn the basics of pro­gram­ming. Kids can pro­gram Tel­lo to start a series of flips with a sin­gle com­mand, or cre­ate their own flight paths using MIT Media Lab’s easy-to-use block inter­face called Scratch.

Acces­sorize your Tel­lo

Com­plete your drone with lots of fun Tel­lo acces­sories. The Tel­lo top cov­er is remov­able so you can change the col­or at any time. You can also install your smart­phone into VR gog­gles and have more fun while immers­ing your­self in an excit­ing flight. Tel­lo will also be com­pat­i­ble with third-par­ty con­trollers, so you can con­trol it like you’re play­ing a video game.

Get the most out of your Tel­lo

With intu­itive con­trols and up to 13 min­utes of flight time, you can quick­ly move between obsta­cles, per­form stunts, explore your sur­round­ings and return home safe­ly with­out wor­ry­ing about the bat­tery. Down­load the Tel­lo app from the App Store or Google Play and start fly­ing with your Tel­lo
