Monitor Your Home

LG has wrapped up home monitoring and pet entertainment all into one cute ball. The manufacturer debuted its Rolling Bot this week at the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona. The bot is a hybrid security system/smart-home device/pet toy that’s not unlike a Sphero BB-8 toy with a more serious feature set. At its core, it’s a mobile home monitor: you can remotely control this ball-shaped device through your phone and receive video and audio footage of what’s happening while you’re away from your house.
