CES 2025 Unveils Mirumi, a Furry Robot That Mimics Infant Curiosity

Yukai Engineering introduces Mirumi, a purse-mounted bot designed to bring joy through subtle, baby-like interactions, with plans for a crowdfunding launch later this year.

Mirumi is a compact, furry robot by Yukai Engineering that attaches to bags and mimics the curious and shy behaviors of an infant using motion and proximity sensors.
The robot's head movements include looking around, turning toward detected people or objects, and simulating shyness by hiding its face when approached or touched suddenly.
Designed to delight bystanders, Mirumi aims to recreate the joyful experience of interacting with an infant, according to its creators.
Yukai Engineering plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign in mid-2025, with a tentative price of $70 and color options including pink, gray, and other variations.
The company, known for quirky robotic creations like the Qoobo cat pillow and Amagami Ham Ham finger-biting plush, continues its focus on blending cuteness and technology.
