Mirumi: The cute robot that does absolutely nothing

 

While everyone goes crazy for Labubu figures, we'd rather have Mirumi hanging off our bags. Yukai Engineering brought the fuzzy little robot to CES 2025 and charmed us with its presence. The clip-on robot is designed to evoke feelings of joy and connection. But beyond that, it has no practical function.

Instead, Mirumi mimics human baby-like behaviour, such as turning its head to look at people and expressing shyness. Its sensors allow it to "detect" its surroundings and interact with those around it.
