Irobhothi lasekhaya lakwa-Samsung elisekelwe kubuhlakani bokwenziwa, i-Ballie, selineminyaka eminingi lingomunye wamaphrojekthi enkampani agqama kakhulu. Nakuba i-Samsung iqhubeka ithi lo mkhiqizo uzokwethulwa maduze, kuze kube manje leli robhothi elincane lisalokhu lingumkhiqizo womqondo.
Nokho, iqoqo lakamuva lemidwebo elidaluliwe liqala ngqa ukukhombisa ulwazi lwesofthiwe i-Samsung eluhlelela i-Ballie. Imidwebo yokuqala yokwakhiwa kwe-UI (isixhumi esibonakalayo somsebenzisi) iveza ukubukeka okuvamile kohlelo lokusebenza oluhambisana naleli robhothi le-AI, kodwa igama nesithonjana sohlelo lokusebenza akukacaci.
Ngokwemidwebo yokwakhiwa, uhlelo lokusebenza alisebenzisi ngokuqondile igama elithi “Ballie”, kodwa lubiza le divayisi ngokuthi “Home Robot (Irobhothi lasekhaya)”.
Isikrini esikhulu sohlelo lokusebenza sigxile ekhadini elikhulu lesimo, elibonisa ulwazi oluhlukahlukene mayelana nerobhothi. Phezulu kwesikrini kuzovezwa izinga lebhethri le-Ballie, indawo elikuyo njengamanje (ngokwesibonelo, limile esisekelweni sokushaja, lisekhishini, egumbini lokuphumula noma kwelinye igumbi) kanye nesimo salo samanje (njengokuthi “Ready (Likulungele)” noma “Error (Iphutha)”). Ngaphezu kwalokho, maphakathi nekhasi kunenkinobho egqamile ethi “Streaming (Ukusakaza)”.
Okwamanje akukacaci ukuthi “Streaming” ihambisana nawuphi umsebenzi. Kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi isho ukuvumela umsebenzisi ukuthi abuke ukude izithombe ezibukhoma zekhamera eyakhelwe ngaphakathi kwe-Ballie, ngaleyo ndlela lisebenze njengekhamera yokugada yasekhaya ehambayo.
Eqinisweni, isikrini esikhulu siqukethe namakhadi emisebenzi abizwa ngokuthi “Home Monitor (Ukuqapha ikhaya)” kanye “Greeting (Ukwamukela)”, okuphinde kunikeze inkomba yendlela eminye yemisebenzi ye-Ballie ehlelwe ngayo.
Okuphawulekayo ukuthi imojuli ethi “Greeting” inenkinobho yokuvula nokuvala. Lokhu kusho ukuthi esikhathini esizayo abasebenzisi bangase bakwazi ukwenza kusebenze umsebenzi wokwamukela owenziwe waba ngokwezifiso. Lapho i-Ballie ibona ukuthi othile ubuyela ekhaya, lingase limubingelele ngokuzenzakalelayo. I-Samsung yake yabonisa ukuthi i-Ballie liyakwazi ukubona amalungu omndeni futhi lixhumane nawo.
Mayelana nokuqapha ikhaya, kubonakala sengathi i-Ballie kuzodingeka lidlule enqubweni yokusethwa kokuqala enezinyathelo eziningi.
Ngokwemidwebo yokwakhiwa, leli robhothi lizoqala lihambe ngaphakathi endlini, lihlolisise indawo yasekhaya bese lenza imephu yendlu. Njengoba i-Ballie lineprojektha eyakhelwe ngaphakathi, lizophinde lifune ngokuzenzakalelayo udonga noma enye indawo eyisicaba efanele ukubonisa kuyo, bese ligcina lezo zindawo njengezindawo zokuphonsa isithombe.
I-Samsung yake yathi le projektha ayikwazi kuphela ukubonisa izinhlobo ezahlukene zolwazi, kodwa ingadlala namavidiyo, ibonise okuqukethwe kokuqondisa ukuzivocavoca futhi yenze izingcingo zevidiyo.
Yiqiniso, le midwebo yokwakhiwa ayifakazeli ukuthi inguqulo yokugcina ezothengiswa nakanjani izosebenzisa isixhumi esibonakalayo noma imisebenzi efanayo, kodwa iqala ngqa ukukhombisa umbono ophelele we-Samsung ngolwazi lwesofthiwe ye-Ballie.
Ngokwalokhu kwakhiwa, kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi i-Ballie lihlanganiswe ngokujulile nohlelo lwe-Samsung SmartThings lwamakhaya ahlakaniphile, libe yidivayisi eyinhloko yokulawula lonke uhlelo lwasekhaya oluhlakaniphile, kodwa lokhu kuncike ekutheni leli robhothi lizogcina selitholakala ngokusemthethweni.
