Yukai Engineering is no stranger to cute but somewhat odd little robots. And at CES 2025, they revealed Mirumi, a robot that’s made to “delight bystanders” by turning its head to greet them. The robot has a few different modes to choose from, between a comfort mode in which it looks around after not being interrupted for a spell, to a rejection mode in which it shakes its head when jiggled.

You can get the full rundown on Mirumi right here, and follow our ongoing CES coverage here.
