DESCRIPTION

mirumi is a Consumer-Robot from Yukai Engineering. It is built for Companion, Companionship.

mirumi is Yukai Engineering's 'charm robot', a small furry robot that clings to a bag strap and turns its head with a shy, curious gaze. It looks toward sounds, responds to a pat on the head, and sometimes glances around on its own, then shyly looks away, like a baby catching someone's eye. Yukai says it did not design mirumi for convenience but to spark the small, unplanned moments of emotional connection that happen when eyes meet by chance, so that both the owner and people nearby smile. The site lists purchase options for Japan, the USA, the UK and Thailand, with Japanese retailers including TSUTAYA stores and MoMA Design Store; a limited mirumi BLACK edition is available only in some regions.
