Samsung’s AI-powered home robot, Ballie, has been one of its most intriguing projects for years. Although the company keeps saying it’s coming, the tiny robot remains a concept for now. Meanwhile, we now have visuals showing Samsung’s planned software experience for Ballie. A series of early UI design sketches reveal what the AI robot’s companion app would look like. The app name and icon remain unknown.
First look at Samsung Ballie’s App
The sketches do not directly name the device as Ballie. Instead, the app refers to the gadget as Home Robot. The main dashboard features a large status card centered around Ballie. It shows the robot’s battery percentage, current location (whether it is at its station or in the kitchen, living room, or elsewhere), and current status (such as Ready or Error) at the top. There’s also a prominent Streaming button.
It isn’t immediately clear what the “Streaming” label refers to. However, it may let users view Ballie’s onboard camera feed remotely, allowing it to function as a mobile home monitoring camera. In fact, the dashboard includes dedicated cards labeled as Home Monitor and Greeting, hinting at its feature set.
Notably, the Greeting section contains a toggle, suggesting users could enable personalized greetings when Ballie detects people arriving home. Samsung has previously demonstrated Ballie recognizing family members and interacting with them.
For home monitoring, Ballie may go through a multi-stage setup process. The robot appears to navigate the environment and create a map of the house. Since Ballie includes a built-in projector, it will search for suitable walls or surfaces and save them as projection areas. Samsung has previously suggested that the robot’s projector is capable of displaying information, videos, workout guides, and video calls.
These sketches don’t confirm Ballie’s final app interface or feature set, but they offer an intriguing early glimpse into Samsung’s vision for the software powering its AI home robot. The designs suggest Ballie could be deeply integrated with the SmartThings ecosystem, making it a central part of Samsung’s connected home experience, assuming the robot ever makes it to market.
