- It wouldn't be CES without Samsung showing off a strange and strangely lovable robot, and this year is the same. At its CES 2024 press conference today, the company showed off a robot named Ballie that has a projector built in. Interestingly, though, according to a report from The Washington Post, Samsung said the robotic sphere will actually be available for sale within the year.

Notice that they had that Ballie demo running on a perfectly smooth, hard floor. Well, most people don't have that in their homes. They have multiple types of flooring and carpeting from room to room and often have trim strips that separate the tile areas from carpeted areas. I can see Ballie constantly getting stuck on many of those and certainly never being able to navigate any type of a staircase at all either.
Seriously, it was so noticeable. The whole setup and vibe felt straight out of Her lol
Most of these home robots have that fatal flaw. Unless you live in a squeaky clean IKEA showroom, these bots will be a lot of trouble.
I like the original ballie it was much more cute
By original i mean the 2019 demo one
you really think they don't design the wheels with carpet in mind?
Nice dimly lit house you got there.
With extremely smooth floors.
Dark yes' smooth floor' not so much' can be more up' though.
Wake me when Ballie can clean my room or cook for me
That's 5 years out now, instead of 20.
@@cacogenicist well nvidia and all will disagree, but that is marketing gimmick I think it will be around 10 years from now, when an avg middle class family might even consider investing in such bots.
@@devanmol1202 - Certainly could be 10 years before it's reasonably affordable
With help of cleaning robot it's already
It would be fascinating if Ballie could go from inside to outside and could actually Hoover or fly next to you and interact with AI. It could be an actual companion. Also, it needs to be able to roll up and down stairs. I don’t think we have the tech for it to do this yet. It could give advice, view your surrounding and real time and answer questions for you.
lol the tech to do this has been here since at least the 80-90's, just not public. There are crazy things out there now, but it's either for government use (think CIA, NSA, etc), brought up by the wealthy, or kept undercover for other reasons. It just won't be priced for the average consumer to have.
It’s called a smartphone and you can put it in your pocket!
I'm glad they're maintaining him and improving, previously I thought it was just one of those projects samsung left behind.
Many blessings to you💞 ✌🥰
Notice how empty and carpet less and texture less the demo floor is. And also notice how dark it is. The projections won’t show up well in a well lit room, and if there’s carpet the robot will prolly get stuck. You’d also have to have enough wall space for it to project stuff.
It is connected to the lights, so maybe it could dim them automatically
The deluxe version gives you a massage....
The other kind of massage😜
@@divyanshkumar4762 ...Choose 'Option 2'.....
Truly genius idea realized
The original design was probably more mobile and more stable, but probably used a lot more battery for stability. And it looked better. The new one looks like the temu version.
Every day we get closer to the reality of the Black Mirror series.
Ballie, check the dog upstairs.... oh.. :(
Reminds me of weebo from flubber
Thats a cute and practical robot right here good work samsung
It looks better than the LG one at least has a projector
Does the robot know the difference between a ceiling and a roof?
My dog is getting replaced
more of ballie, loves it
2.0 needs to be able to handle stairs.
Anything that can handle stairs is going to be north of $5K.
0:38 he just had to squat when the Barbie movie was playing 💀
it took them 4 years? GOOD
Hasnt this been done a million times already?
Lol, looks like another solution to a nonexistent problem 😆
Is Ballie available for purchase anywhere? Where can you buy online?
I don’t think it’s available for right now
why samsung, why???
Can I take it bowling?
1)Make request,
2) watch ballie roll around for 5 min trying to find a blank white wall to project on,
3) Ballie rolls over onto its side in its equivalent of the fetal position
I hope it does not have subscription like LG.
The demo is dark, meaning the projector is not bright enough to see in bright environment.
now i want a terminator 😂😂😂😂😂 !!!! coming soon
If only my house was tailor-made to the finest degree to accommodate ballie in every room so that he doesn't get stuck.
For people that live in minimalist homes with lots of blank wall space.
displays and screens im going there....
I don't want it unless it can make a cup of coffee and bring it to me.
Does this come in BLUE!
In the past "living under a rock" used be a insult, not anymore. 🤣🤣
This thing will get destroyed by an overly eager pet.😂
This redesign looks like it wouldn't work on carpet.
Cute, but AI glasses will likely do all of this better and I can't see every household having this when some homes have carpets and maybe not enough room on walls to project images.
yay, on-demand ads
Stairs?
STAIRRRRRRRR….. 😂
I dont want a stupid ball I want a fembot
It monitors you all day every day and then sells that data to the highest bidder. The fact that people are interested is crazy to me.
Imagine the future....you disagree with something a politician says or say something that is against societal norms, then the robot calls your therapist/the police and sends the voice recording.
honestly, this seems like it would benefit folks with accessibility needs.
I wouldn't personally buy it (for the same reasons you mentioned), but you would be surprised how many people really don't care about their data privacy nowadays.
its cute looking and has folksy name. That really fires off some nuerons in people.
People were saying the same thing a decade ago and instead of alerting authorities it just sends you targeted ads
@@Nick-mt4wk yeah, but it's not recording video in every room of my house and following me around everywhere I go.
@WittyDroog Think of the climate of our current politics. Things could change very, very quickly.
Seems redundant
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Projecting on the roof?? Dang it must have a propeller or some way to fly over your house too.
What is the name of that robot from the film flubber… it’s basically that!
Weebo!
If only it could fly while making sassy quips.
well, the final 1 sentence summary was rather disappointing ('it doesn't solve any real life problems). I'm not a huge fan either but what problems does such overhyped Apple Vision Pro solve?
Plug 4 India, bollie.
This is so silly
.❤❤❤❤❤
"hey ballie, hows the weather?"
*Shows pristine skies and and beaches*
*Lives in Chernobyl. There's no beaches there.*
Nonsense.
I guess people need to watch Runaway 1984 with Tom Selek.
Finally tech for cave troglodytes like me that live in perpetual darkness
Kitchen is never dimly lid. ...wasted tech.
This show at this point is like a comedy sketch of capitalism run amok with nonsense. And things that can potentially spy on you for corporations. Or just get pet hair and carpet fibers stuck in its wheels and not be able to move.
@@Astyl_Who are you referring to? Yourself I assume. Because I’m very familiar with how capitalism “works”.
"Things" already spy on you way way back then when people agreed to divulged their personal information when they signed up for Facebook, IG, MySpace, etc...and enabling Google, Alexa, and Siri, it has nothing to do with CES.
@@Astyl_lol projecting so hard bro 🤡
@@Astyl_ Ok now I know you have no idea what capitalism is.
@@Astyl_ Capitalism is the entire economic system that all those things you mention exist within.
People making fun of this and saying 1984 etc but soon everyone will have one.
Oh joy. Now its battery lasts even less time and even more to break when it falls down the stairs.
I don't robot'
It's Weebo
This thing will never ever happen, and thats samsungs big problem.
Well, now Idc that the Chinese chip fabs will take away Samsung's world share, which mostly exists in China anyways. Bbye.

A joke of a product!
at an irrelevant price
Might as well name it Bollywood
Basically a toy and practically useless.
Fck fantastic!
"What's cool about it" - no, there's nothing cool about this.
Pointless garbage. Fantastic if you live in a large open plan warehouse with no carpets or rugs...and any dog I know will have that thing knocked over in about 25-30 seconds max. I don't think ANY design research has gone into looking at what actual houses are like, especially outside of the US which typically have smaller homes.
hey ballie!!
