Say HELLO to MIRUMI.

Yukai Engineering is back with another quirky creation! Meet Mirumi, the furry, wide-eyed bot designed to channel the curious (and bashful) charm of an infant. Equipped with sensors, Mirumi turns its head with googly-eyed curiosity to engage people and objects nearby. But don’t get too close too fast—this shy little bot ducks away when approached or touched, adding a dose of playful personality. Jiggle it, and it’ll even shake its head in an adorable “no,” just like a toddler throwing sass.

Set to launch via crowdfunding in mid-2025, Mirumi will come in soft pink or gray fur and is expected to be priced around $70.

According to Yukai Engineering CEO Shunsuke Aoki, Mirumi is designed to spark joy by connecting people through its innocent antics. “Whether you’re on a crowded train or waiting in line, Mirumi’s curious gaze will melt hearts, inviting waves, funny faces, and smiles from everyone around.”

Prepare for a robot companion that doesn’t just sit still—it’s here to charm, play shy, and bring a little extra magic to your day!
