mirumi is a 155-gram fur-covered robot from Yukai Engineering that clips onto a bag strap and behaves like a shy animal: it turns toward nearby sounds, meets the eyes of people who look at it, and darts its gaze away when they stare too long. There is no app and no trick, just a tiny servo personality engineered to trigger the same instinct as eye contact with a pet. It went viral at CES and remains delightfully useless in the best way. Commute companionship in charm form.
