At the CES 2025 press conference, Samsung just announced that the Ballie home robot boasted last year will actually go on sale this year. This cute yellow rolling device has a built-in projector that allows you to project images and videos onto the walls and floor so you can interact with it. However, no additional information about prices or more specific timing was provided.
When it was first announced, Samsung said Washington Post that Ballie will indeed be available at some point in 2024. Alas, we're already six days into 2025 and still don't have an actual date or price. We first started seeing early versions of Ballie in 2020, when it was just a ball the size of a tennis ball that a Samsung executive gently caressed in his hands. Then Bally was touted as a potential “fitness assistant” and last year Samsung also demonstrated capabilities such as smart home control.
