Samsung shows off new features for its Ballie robot –

Samsung first showed off its Ballie robot at CES 2020, where it couldn’t do much more than roll around on stage. Now, in a new charming video, we can see some major upgrades for the spherical bot.

Ballie now acts as a projector, and as seen in the video, he can transform virtually any surface into a home theater. But aside from distracting your dog with a random video of a bird on the floor, Ballie is meant to be a useful home assistant.

When paired with other smart devices, he can turn on the lights, feed your dog via a food dispenser and text you to tell you what he’s up to. Ballie can also track you and greet you warmly when you get home.
