Flying Robot Penguins
Look at this:
These robots fly autonomously. They learn the environment with sensing equipment and adjust their path accordingly. Helium helps them fly. Pretty cool.

Were I a rich man, I'd definitely put these little f*ckers in the main foyer of my mansion, just aimlessly floating around.

Today's expensive and technologically refined gadget is tomorrow's Tamagochi ...
consider how much of the 'kid's toys' of today would have been CIA kept secrets only 25 years ago ...
it won't take long and soon all of us might have one (or more) of these things just floating around, but Doing stuff (like mobile WiFi antennae or air purification filters or even webcams for room to room views).
hell, maybe we can even program the things to bring beer and nacho's to the living room ...
