Samsung Confirms 2025 Launch of Ballie AI Home Robot

The spherical robot, first introduced in 2020, features voice control, smart home integration, and a built-in projector but lacks confirmed pricing details.

Samsung announced at CES 2025 that Ballie, its AI-powered home robot, will be released in the first half of 2025, though no specific date or price has been revealed.
Ballie features a Full HD triple-laser projector capable of projecting images or videos on walls, ceilings, or floors, with a focus on optimizing the projection angle using cameras and sensors.
The robot is designed to act as a smart home assistant, responding to voice commands, controlling connected devices, and providing personalized assistance such as wine pairing suggestions and weather updates.
Originally introduced in 2020 as a tennis ball-sized prototype, Ballie has since evolved into a bowling ball-sized device equipped with LiDAR for obstacle detection and improved functionality.
While Samsung has confirmed the launch, skepticism remains about its market viability, given the challenges faced by other home robots like Amazon’s Astro.
