Fungus:
Have you seen this?

Kim Christensen:
Battery powered. Needs to be charged.  ::)
Nah. I like wires. Wires that feed power directly to the device and don't wear out with use.

As for the demo video: Is the playback slowed down when it slides down the wall and tips over? It seems to tip over impossibly slow.
I think this post belongs in the dodgy technology section.   ;D

Fungus:
What about the "suction cups"?

I think those are described as "active" meaning they must have a fan/vacuum pump to maintain suction so that it stays on the wall...

But the part that seems odd is when it's tipping over very slowly which doesn't seem right to me. I doubt the "suction cups" are doing anything at this point:
EDIT: Oh wait! I see the strings that lower it down now! What a joke. It's actually attached to that + on the wall with strings.
"Self landing technology"  :-DD

CatalinaWOW:
Where do you see strings?  All I see is a tiled wall.  The motion could be consistent with gyro stabilization.  But there doesn't seem to be room for the size inertia wheel that would be required.  Just the battery size to run the suction cups and an inertial wheel would be impressive if the life was intended to cover a normal length movie.  So might not be dodgy, but certainly doesn't seem practical.  Kind of like those gyro stabilized two wheel or even mono wheeled cars.  They work, but are complicated, expensive solutions for a not very real problem.
