Yukai Engineering Debuts Baby FuFu at CES Unveiled 2026
Tokyo-based robotics startup Yukai Engineering will debut Baby FuFu, a portable fan robot designed for babies and toddlers to play with while keeping themselves cool. The robot's unique fan mechanism keeps the blades fully enclosed, making it safe even for babies to handle. It also securely attaches to baby strollers, enabling parents to fan their children hands?free.Designed to look identical to - but twice the size of - Nekojita FuFu, Yukai's popular drink?cooling robot, Baby FuFu is aimed at making personal cooling more accessible and fun amid the surging global popularity of portable cooling devices."Baby FuFu grew out of Nekojita FuFu fans' feedback that their children love not only cooling their food with it but also playing with it, pretending to fan their faces and blow?dry their hair," said Shunsuke Aoki, CEO of Yukai Engineering. "Many users also wanted FuFu made into a fan, so we created a robot that encourages toddlers to cool themselves with it to prevent heat stroke in hot weather, all the while having fun. Portable fans are now an essential summer item in many parts of the world, and we are very excited to introduce this adorable robot at CES 2026."Safety FeaturesBaby FuFu uses an internal fan to pump air from bottom to top. A slit plate in front of the fan prevents direct contact with the blades, even if a finger or other object is inserted through the robot’s mouth, making it safe for users of all ages.Use on Baby StrollersBaby FuFu's hands and feet are shaped to securely latch onto stroller handles. Users can easily adjust the robot’s angle to direct airflow onto a targeted area, such as a child's face.A press of a button allows users to switch among three airflow strength modes.Also on Display: Mirumi Now Live on KickstarterIn addition to Baby FuFu, Yukai will showcase many of its award?winning products during CES 2026, including Mirumi, the charm robot that turns around to steal a look. Mirumi is currently live on Kickstarter and will remain so throughout CES 2026; the campaign has already raised nearly $150,000 in funding within its first 10 days and runs through January 21.About Yukai EngineeringYukai Engineering is a Tokyo-based startup known for creating robots that bring joy to life.
