Samsung's Ballie made waves at CES 2020 as a home robot concept that could one day roam your home. In 2024, Samsung brought it back to CES to share that it was giving the device a projector that can stream information and content onto different surfaces.

At its CES 2025 press conference, Samsung just announced that the Ballie home robot it first showed off last year will actually be available for sale this year. This cute yellow rolling device has a built-in projector that allows it to beam images and videos on your walls and floors,

Back then, the robot was "about the size of a hefty grapefruit but much less dense," according to Engadget, and its bright yellow exterior featured a scalloped texture that has since been left behind.

Samsung’s home robot Ballie has been kicking around the CES circuit for half a decade, but we now have a very rough timeline for its launch. Samsung confirmed Ballie is set to hit the market at some point in the next 12 months,

Maybe Samsung is intentionally building in a weak spot and planning ahead for whenever Ballie secretly amasses an army and turns against us. Either way, Ballie is putting in yet another CES appearance here in Las Vegas.

Now, during CES 2025, Samsung has confirmed that its home robot Ballie will finally hit stores sometime in H1 2025. Samsung originally showed Ballie at CES 2020, but it has yet to make it to the commercial market.
