Samsung and Google have collaborated to introduce the Ballie, a home robot shaped like a soccer ball that utilizes artificial intelligence and can project videos onto walls. This partnership marks the companies' entry into the consumer robotics market, which has seen significant growth recently. The device, set for release this summer after delays, can navigate homes, control smart devices, answer questions, make calls, and play videos through its built-in projector, running on Samsung's Tizen operating system and Google's Gemini AI models. The Ballie will initially launch in the US and South Korea, supporting American English and Korean languages. [Extracted from the article]
