DJI Innovations' S1000, on the other hand, is for the professional cameraman. This higher-end drone is built to carry a Canon 5D Mark II or Mark III.

These cute little robots want to take their virtual game into reality. Able to follow mazes on paper or tablet screen, Ozobot showed off the spherical game robots at CES 2014. A Kickstarter will follow this month.

The Keecker mini-robot, revealed at CES 2014, promises to do it all: bring home entertainment, as well as audio and video capture, anywhere in your house. Not only will it project video and let you browse the Web; it also has sensors that allow you to remotely monitor your home.
