🤖 Meet Samsung's Ballie: The Robot Sidekick Transforming Your Home

Samsung re-introduces Ballie, the palm-sized robot pal at CES 2024, boasting AI-enhanced features for the modern home.

Not just your average tech gadget, Ballie can now navigate your living space with ease, double as a streaming projector, and even manage household devices, all with voice or text command convenience.
