Yukai Engineering Unveils Nékojita FuFu: A Robot Cat to Cool Your Coffee
At CES 2025, Yukai Engineering presents Nékojita FuFu, a quirky robot cat designed to blow air on hot beverages to cool them down. This innovative device attaches to the side of a mug and uses a fan combined with a unique algorithm to simulate human-like blowing. The name merges the Japanese words for 'cat tongue' and the sound of blowing, reflecting its purpose. Scheduled for release in Japan in mid-2025 at approximately $25, Nékojita FuFu is a product of Yukai's internal Make-a-Thon, where it was inspired by a team leader's parenting challenges.
