Yukai Engineering Unveils Mini Robot That Cools Food and Drinks at CES 2025

The Nékojita FuFu uses a fan and algorithm to mimic human blowing, with a mid-2025 Japan release expected at $25.

  • Yukai Engineering showcased the Nékojita FuFu at CES 2025, a small attachable robot designed to cool hot food and drinks by blowing air on them.
  • The robot uses a rechargeable battery and a proprietary 'Fuing System' algorithm to randomize blowing strength and rhythm, simulating human behavior.
  • Nékojita FuFu can reduce temperatures by up to 30°F within 3 to 5 minutes and attaches to foodware with straight edges between 2mm and 6mm thick.
  • The product is expected to launch in Japan in mid-2025 for approximately $25, though international availability has not been confirmed.
  • The design originated from Yukai’s internal hackathon, inspired by the challenge of cooling baby food, and features multiple customizable blowing modes.
