Samsung Ballie - A new home Companion AI robot for your home .
This is a small robot which is of shape of ball size which is capable of moving around any corner of house . It is AI enabled that can be very useful in controlling any devices like a google home .
Ballie is powered by Google Gemini Multi Modal AI . It has a similar resemblance to Pixar s Walle .
Key Features to highlight
1. Mobility & Smart Navigation
Ballie navigates autonomously across surfaces using a blend of LiDAR, Time-of-Flight sensors, and high-resolution cameras (4K front, 2K rear). This enables efficient mapping, obstacle avoidance, and movement across different rooms.
2. Built‑in Projector & Visual Interface
One of Ballie’s most eye-catching features is its integrated Full HD projector. With a dual-lens (and possible triple-laser) setup, it adapts the image size and angle based on ambient light and viewer position. It can project movies, workout guides, recipe instructions, or even interactive buttons on the floor which you can “press” with your feet.
3. Voice & AI Interaction
Ballie comes equipped with a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling natural voice interaction—whether responding to commands like “Hey Ballie, how do I look?” or providing updates and reminders.
4. Gemini-Powered Multimodal AI
Samsung has partnered with Google Cloud to integrate Gemini multimodal AI, enriching Ballie with the ability to process voice, visuals, and environmental data. This allows it to offer:
Styling advice, e.g. evaluating outfits and suggesting accessories.
Personal wellness guidance, such as sleep optimization or exercise tips when you say, “I feel tired.”
Smart home control, like managing lighting, reminders, and daily routines—but in a more personalized and anticipatory way.
5. Smart Home Integration
Ballie acts as a living hub for your connected devices. Through Samsung SmartThings integration (and even infrared for legacy appliances), it can control lights, thermostats, TVs, and more. Its mobility allows it to serve commands wherever you are, not just at a stationary point.
6. Home Monitoring & Personal Assistance
Beyond just tech, Ballie offers peace of mind: it can monitor pets or loved ones, sending video updates while you're out. It also personalizes everyday experiences—projecting workout routines while you exercise or reminding you of today's schedule.
Launch : as of Aug 2025 we have news that Samsung is already planning to launch as the pre-registration is now open . Will update once the product is launched.
