LAS VEGAS—At the CES 2020 show on Monday, Samsung unveiled a new “personal care robot” that uses artificial intelligence to help seniors connect with smart devices in the home and can serve as a fitness assistant.

During a keynote speech at the conference, Hyun-Suk Kim, Samsung president and CEO, consumer electronics, said the AI-powered robot, called Ballie, represents the future of personalized care. The small, ball-shaped robot has sensors and cameras to patrol your home, keep an eye on your pets and communicate with other smart devices.
