Samsung unveiled its upgraded AI robot Ballie at CES 2024.
In 2020, Samsung unveiled Boli at the CES event. At the time, it was completely round and ball-shaped, but this time, the upgraded Bolly looks like a character from Among Us.
The addition of some human characteristics makes it feel more familiar. The horizontally long eye area looks like a person wearing a helmet, and the long distinct areas on either side look like arms.
At work, I check on my pets and feed them or play a video for them to watch. Control smart home appliances based on environment and context. Adjust the lights or close the curtains.
This time, I mainly present my experience using a projector. You can project images from various angles, such as projecting a video conference screen on the wall at home or playing related videos while exercising. Before going to bed, you can play a mood video that fills the entire room.
It looks like a robot vacuum cleaner combined with a beam projector and AI speaker. Since it is a moving robot, it seems like a lot of thought was put into what it could do. However, there are many products that already provide a better experience by separating the beam projector and AI speaker, so I am curious about what kind of benefit I will feel.
Since home appliances used for smart homes are a category that does not change often once a decision is made, the pace of change seems to be slower than that of smartphones.
