Introduction
Remember the adorable rolling ball that stole the show at CES 2020? Samsung’s Ballie is back, packed with even more AI smarts to become your ultimate home companion. Forget clunky bots and impersonal assistants; Ballie is a playful sphere overflowing with features that anticipate your needs and add a touch of magic to your daily routine.
What is Ballie?
Think of Ballie as your pint-sized personal projector. Forget fiddling with screens – this little wonder beams movies, video calls, and even your PC desktop onto any wall, adjusting the picture for perfect viewing regardless of distance or lighting. Not a movie buff? No problem. Ballie transforms into a smart home hub, controlling lights, adjusting your air conditioner, and even learning the location of your “non-smart” appliances, like an older TV. Imagine saying goodbye to fumbling for remotes!

But Ballie is more than just a tech upgrade. This friendly face brings personalized care to your doorstep. Imagine automated plant watering reminders, convenient access to telehealth services for family members, and a robot that adapts to your preferences based on who it sees around. That’s right, Ballie learns your routines and tailors its assistance, becoming a familiar presence in your home.
Is Ballie the perfect home robot?
So, do these features make Ballie the perfect home robot? Will these features be enough to overcome the challenges smart home robots face? Amazon’s Astro struggled to find its footing, and Mayfield Robotics’ ambitious robot never saw the light of day. Only time will tell if Ballie can overcome these hurdles and become a part of our homes.
