Ballie is not just a typical home robot. It can share information about various topics, turn on lights, and control smart home products by voice command. It can also project movies onto nearby walls. A unique feature of Ballie is its ability to recognize 'foot presses' onto a virtual button to complete tasks. An array of cameras and sensors makes this virtual interaction possible. For instance, when presented with two wines and asked which would pair better with steak, Ballie can use your 'foot presses' to ask follow-up questions and eventually provide a recommendation.
Samsung isn't the first company to venture into the realm of home robots. Amazon has been selling its Astro home robot powered by Alexa for the past few years, and LG has also demonstrated ambitions for home robots at previous CES events. Even Apple has been rumored to be exploring the smart home space. However, Samsung's announcement of Ballie's imminent launch represents a significant leap in making home robots more mainstream.
Ballie represents a significant step forward in home automation technology. With the capability to roam around your home, stream content via a built-in projector, and control various smart home devices, Ballie is set to change the way we interact with our homes.
