Samsung Ballie
Perhaps the cutest robot I’ve ever seen, Samsung announced that Ballie (reminiscent of similarly adorable robot Wall-E), will be available for purchase later this year. Whether or not you’re ready for this robot, which was first announced back in 2020, our tech pros don’t think you’ll mind the company. Not only is it a smart home hub that interacts with other smart home devices, but it’s also an AI companion that can project onto screens anywhere in your home. Say you want your calendar pulled up while you’re eating breakfast, but your phone is still in the bedroom – just ask Ballie!
