Samsung claims its Ballie AI robot will actually be released this year

Is Samsung’s round robot finally ready to roll out of CES demos and into actual homes?

Ballie, the rolling robot that reemerged at CES last year, will be shipping to consumers as an actual product sometime in 2025. That’s what Samsung is saying at the moment, anyway. We were first introduced to Ballie at CES five years ago. Since then, the robot has undergone a more practical redesign, so maybe it’s really going to happen — but I’m still more skeptical than not.

Am I the only one who thinks those wheels look a bit flimsy?
