Samsung says its home robot, Ballie, will roll out the first half of 2025

Samsung's Ballie home robot will launch by mid-2025, aiming for limited success.

: Samsung plans to launch its home robot, Ballie, by mid-2025 after showcasing it at CES events for years. The robot serves as a personal home assistant, but its success outside South Korea remains uncertain. Home robots have generally failed to succeed due to high costs and limited features.

Samsung announced at CES 2025 that its home robot, Ballie, will launch within the next six months. Previously showcased at CES, the robot now includes features like a projector but still faces challenges reaching the market.

Ballie acts as a personal home assistant, designed to autonomously navigate and complete household tasks. While home robots have historically struggled with justification for their high costs, Samsung hopes Ballie may appeal, particularly in South Korea.

The U.S. and other international markets may prove difficult for Ballie's success. Further details regarding pricing and availability are expected at Samsung's upcoming press conference.
