Samsung's adorable Ballie robot will roll right into your heart

Samsung showed off a remodeled Ballie, a sunshine-yellow autonomously driving robot, at CES 2024. Described as an "at-home assistant," this bowling ball of a robot is designed to answer your phone calls, play calming music, display the hottest news stories, and more. Maybe I'm the type of person that's easily charmed by whimsical things, but this little dude knocked the contrarian right out of me. One of the cooler things about Ballie is its built-in 1080p projector and spatial LiDAR sensor. That means it'll project movies and conference calls on the floor, wall, or any other hard surface.
