It’s back! Years after Samsung first unveiled “Ballie”, the rolling AI Robot first unveiled at CES 2020, the company has reintroduced it at CES 2024- this time with a projector in-tow!

The Samsung Ballie is:
- About the size of a bowling ball
- Lasts 2-3 hours on a charge
- Includes spatial lidar sensor to navigate
- Features 1080p projector with two lenses for movies and video calls
Ballie has some neat options. It can respond to both voice commands or text messages, operate “non-smart” devices with an infrared transmitter, and follow your dog around broadcasting live video of its every bark.
Neat tricks! But how many consumers will pay up for a glorified Sphero that tells you when to water plants while Boston Dynamics has full fledged humanoid robots practicing how to do our laundry?
