Yukai Engineering's latest gadget at CES is a fan for babies Baby FuFu is its name, and baby cooling is its game. Baby FuFu will launch in mid-2026 for around $50 to $60. (Yukai Engineering) Yukai Engineering, maker of the weirdly cute Mirumi robot, has another interesting gadget at CES 2026. Baby FuFu is a portable fan for babies that attaches to strollers. Baby FuFu is modeled on the company's smaller (but otherwise identical-looking) drink-cooling gadget, Nekojita FuFu. Baby FuFu grew out of Nekojita FuFu fans' feedback that their children love not only cooling their food with it but also playing with it, pretending to fan their faces and blow-dry their hair, Yukai Engineering CEO Shunsuke Aoki said.

It wouldn't be a tech convention without a smattering of weird and wonderful devices. The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas featured more than 4,500 exhibitors. These booths showed off bizarre gadgets including, a spy camera for your garden, a vacuum that picks socks up from the floor and a cheese maker that makes mozzarella in two hours. Mirumi features sensors that detect people approaching, prompting it to either look around inquisitively or seem to duck for cover. It also has two long arms that wrap around a strap or handle of a bag or purse, clinging to it like a small child.

Not sure that is mom approved. The AI-powered hummingbird feeder comes with a camera that can capture photos and videos of over 350 different hummingbird species. This just might be the coolest bird feeder around.

From self-driving machines that deliver parcels to anti-anxiety pillows which can'breathe', robots are front and center at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week - as they seek to wheel themselves in every aspect of daily life. CES is an annual tech conference held in Las Vegas. More than 100,000 people are attending this year - the first time the show has been at full capacity since the Covid 19 pandemic. So far this week, Ottonomy has unveiled a'Yeti' with a self-dispensing feature that eliminates the need for a human to be present to collect deliveries. Yukai Engineering, a repeat exhibitor at the event, also showcased a pillow robot that'breathes' when hugged to help reduce the user's anxiety - and it claims to work in just five minutes. Meanwhile, the new chirping Ebo X wants to be a part of the family, providing security and health warnings as well as helping owners speak to loved ones.

Yukai Engineering, the team behind the strangely adorable cat tail pillow, is back with a new quirky invention. Unveiled at CES 2023, the Fufuly is yet another anxiety-reducing cushion from the Japanese company, but this time featuring a gentle rhythmical pulsation as the main therapeutic tool. The idea is that when you're hugging a Fufuly, its life-like behavior stimulates your belly to induce slower and deeper breathing. Despite its thought-bubble shape (supposedly to evoke the image of a puff of air), the cushion felt more like a mellow creature dozing off in my arms. I even mistook the quiet mechanical noise as a cat's purr, to which CEO Shunsuke Aoki assured me this was purely a coincidence.

It wouldn't be CES season without at least a couple of offbeat robots showing up. Yukai Engineering, the maker of the Qoobo robotic cat tail pillow, has revealed a soft robot that nibbles on a user's fingertip. The company hopes the "somewhat pleasing sensation" will brighten up your day. Amagami Ham Ham has an algorithm called a "Hamgorithm" that selects one of two dozen nibbling patterns, so you'll never be sure exactly what you'll feel when you shove your digit into the robot's maw. Yukai designed the patterns -- which include Tasting Ham, Massaging Ham and Suction Ham -- to replicate the feeling of a baby or pet nibbling on one's finger.

It may look like frightening, but this headless, cat-like robot is designed to calm its owner. Called Qoobo, the Japanese robot pillow reacts to touch by wagging its mechanical tail that'closely mimics the flexible and elegant movements of an animal'. The purpose of this robotic creature is to soothe owners, as it has been confirmed in three psychological evaluations to ease anxiety, depression and feelings of fatigue. Qoobo is a Japanese robot pillow that reacts to touch by wagging its mechanical tail that'closely mimics the flexible and elegant movements of an animal' Qoobo was designed by Yukai Engineering in Japan, which makes a range of'communication robots' – all of which are designed to connect people with others and their own emotions. 'When rubbed, it swings playfully.

As Mick Jagger famously sang, "What a drag it is getting old". Though with a net worth of about $360 million and holding court in the pantheon of rock-n-roll gods, Mick Jagger is probably greying about as well as anyone could at age 74. He certainly will have nothing to worry about when the day comes that he can no longer do the rooster strut; Jagger can afford the best elder care money can buy. Most of us probably won't have the financial means to hire a team of 20-something-year-old nurses in short, black latex skirts to take care of us when we become dirty old men. The best most of us can hope for is not to be locked in a closet and left to stew in our own feces.

You may not instantly recognize the name "Yukai Engineering," but you may have already come across its earlier products like the Necomimi brainwave cat ears or the Bocco "family robot" at some point. At CEATEC, the Japanese company unveiled its latest wacky product, the Qoobo "tail therapy" robot. This is essentially a cushion with a realistic cat tail that reacts to stroking and patting, such that it's able to comfort its "owner" like a real pet would simply through tail wagging. To make it more lifelike, Qoobo also wags its tail randomly when it is left alone for too long. As a cat owner myself, I was surprised by how realistic the tail moved, especially with how its wagging intensity increased as I petted it harder (my cat would eventually warn me with a bite).
