Mirumi is designed to attach to your bag or backpack strap and… well, it watches people. This little robot spontaneously turns its head to look at people nearby. If you're familiar with Yukai Engineering, the company behind the therapeutic pillow (Qoobo) with a tail and the finger-chewing robot, this level of strangeness shouldn't come as a surprise. Mirumi is undeniably adorable. Imagine a puffy gray chick (it also comes in pink) with a round, furry head and big googly eyes. The only slightly odd feature is its long arms, which are used to attach it to your bag. Beneath that cuddly exterior lies some interesting technology. Mirumi has sensors that detect people, objects, and movement. Its motorized head then turns to 'look' at these things, creating a series of emotive responses. The robot can express curiosity by looking around when it detects movement. If someone is nearby, it will turn its head to look at them. It can even mimic bashfulness by hiding its head. And if you shake it, it will turn its head back and forth to show its displeasure. Whether you'd actually want a furry robot staring at everyone you pass is another question. It could be a fun conversation starter, or it could just make people think you have a sentient dust bunny attached to your bag. More on miteradio.com.au (press play)
