Samsung revives Ballie home robot at CES 2024

Samsung brought back its rolling, ball-shaped home companion with a built-in projector and smart home control.

At CES 2024 Samsung showed an updated version of Ballie, the spherical home robot it first teased in 2020. The new model adds a 1080p projector that can throw video onto walls or floors, lidar for finding its way around, and voice or text control of connected and older infrared devices. Samsung gave no price or release date. Ballie is one of the most visible attempts by a major consumer electronics firm to put a mobile, companion-style robot in ordinary homes.
