The article discusses the Samsung robot, “Ballie”, which is a home robot with a projector and AI capabilities. According to Samsung, Ballie will be available in 2025. The robot can control smart home devices, provide information through voice commands, and project virtual buttons on the floor for users to interact with. The article notes that while Ballie has some charm, it doesn’t quite live up to the original vision of a more futuristic and sophisticated robot. However, Samsung is promising that Ballie will have improved AI capabilities and be available in 2025. Some interesting points from the article include: * The possibility of virtual buttons being projected on the floor for users to interact with * The ability to control smart home devices through voice commands or physical interaction with Ballie * A mention of accessibility features, but no details are provided * Concerns about the potential cost of Ballie and how it will compare to other robots in terms of price and value The article also includes some tongue-in-cheek commentary on the robot’s limitations and the disappointment that may come from users who have higher expectations. Overall, the tone is somewhat skeptical but not entirely dismissive of the possibility of Ballie being a useful addition to smart home technology.
