The battle between Samsung & LG is on full display at CES 2024, they both now have transparent TVs and they both have a home robot, over at Samsung it’s “Ballie,” a cute little ball robot that wheels itself around the house, while LG has Rosie from the futuristic Jetson cartoon.

And it appears that both are using AI to deliver the right information when asked, or when they see an object such as the difference between a baby and a pet.

What separates LG’s AI agent from the rest is its mobility is that Rosie can serve as a pet monitor and patrol the house for open windows or lights left on while you’re out.

It can also alert you when you need to take medications and make emergency calls.

Samsung’s Ballie is a tad more sophisticated with a built-in camera and the ability to project images onto a wall.

Rosie is a little two-legged robot (an upgrade from Rosie’s precarious single wheel) that actually waddles on two legs your home, helping you with your chores.

The housekeeping bot is part of LG’s “Zero Labor Home” initiative that’s built around interconnected smart home appliances.

At LG’s press briefing CEO William Cho talked up the companies AI offering which went a tad off the rails during the Companies live broadcast.

He claims that data gathered from LG’s products can be harnessed to train its artificial intelligence in understanding and even predicting customer’s behaviors and needs.

The AI agent operates through LG’s smart home platform ThinQ, which connects to the company’s lineup of smart appliances that include washer/dryers, ovens, and refrigerators.

The robot has face and user recognition, relying on machine learning to understand context, so its responses and communications are tailored to individual members of the home. It’s powered by a generative AI large language model, so you can chat with it while you’re, say, folding the laundry.
