DESCRIPTION

AMAGAMI HAM HAM is a Consumer-Robot from Yukai Engineering. It is built for Companionship, Entertainment.

AMAGAMI HAM HAM is Yukai Engineering's play-biting robot, a plush animal that gently nibbles a finger placed in its mouth, recreating the soothing 'amagami' nibble of puppies, kittens and babies that people otherwise have to discourage. Yukai says the idea grew out of a team member's memories of his own child's play-biting. A sensor in the mouth detects the finger and starts the patented 'HAMling System' mechanism, and a program Yukai calls the 'Hamgorithm' generates many different mouth movements, from rhythmic munching and massaging to a surprised reflex, refusing to let go, or a 'drowning' motion that ends when the finger is removed, so each bite feels different. The series includes characters such as Kotaro the Shiba Inu, Yuzu the calico cat, Kururi the otter, Marron the bear and Rinrin the panda. It runs on three AA alkaline or nickel-metal-hydride batteries and has no charging function. Yukai also licenses the HAMling module for OEM plush products.
