By attending to family responsibilities, providing a rundown of the week’s events, and sharing weather forecasts, a cheerful and efficient home companion warmly greets users upon their return.
During a press briefing conducted on January 8th (local time) at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, Samsung Electronics introduced the latest iteration of its AI household assistant robot, Ballie, ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024. Initially revealed at CES 2020, Ballie has undergone enhancements with state-of-the-art features designed to aid consumers in making informed lifestyle choices.
Functioning as a personal home aide, Ballie autonomously navigates through the residence to perform various tasks. By interfacing with and managing household devices, Ballie can assist individuals in a multitude of scenarios. Through continuous analysis of users’ behaviors and routines, Ballie offers more personalized and intelligent services. When occupants are away from home, Ballie sends digital updates regarding their pets or family members to their devices, providing reassurance. Furthermore, Ballie can set the appropriate ambiance for any home activity, whether it be relaxation, exercise, or work. By projecting workout videos in optimal sizes on walls or floors, playing music, and handling phone calls, Ballie enhances productivity and enjoyment within the household.
