Samsung<\/a> has officially confirmed that Ballie<\/strong>, its long-teased rolling smart home robot, will launch in the US this summer<\/strong> \u2014 and it\u2019s getting a major intelligence upgrade courtesy of Google\u2019s Gemini AI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First introduced back in 2020<\/strong>, Ballie was pitched as a smart home companion capable of following users around, controlling devices, and even checking on pets. After a long period of silence, the robot resurfaced at CES 2024<\/strong> with a sleeker design and a built-in projector<\/strong>, turning any nearby surface into a screen for video calls, reminders, or entertainment. But the latest announcement marks a critical evolution: Ballie now has a brain<\/strong>, and it\u2019s powered by Google<\/a>\u2019s multimodal Gemini AI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means Ballie is no longer just a cute rolling gadget or glorified smart remote \u2014 it\u2019s positioning itself as a full-fledged interactive home assistant<\/strong>. Thanks to Gemini\u2019s ability to process audio, visuals, and environmental cues<\/strong>, Ballie will be able to tailor its behavior more intelligently. Whether it’s giving fashion tips<\/strong>, suggesting ways to boost energy<\/strong>, or simply engaging in a natural back-and-forth conversation<\/strong>, Ballie is designed to anticipate needs, not just react to voice commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung emphasizes that this deeper level of contextual awareness is what sets Ballie apart from traditional home automation devices. The robot is meant to learn your preferences and habits<\/strong> over time, creating a more personalized, assistant-like experience \u2014 one that might actually feel like having a helpful, sci-fi-inspired companion in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricing details haven\u2019t been shared yet, but Samsung confirmed that Ballie will debut in both the US and Korea<\/strong> in summer 2025<\/strong>. Given its combination of mobility, projection capabilities, and conversational AI<\/strong>, Ballie could represent one of the most ambitious smart home products yet \u2014 assuming it lives up to the promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
