It wouldn’t be a tech convention without a smattering of weird and wonderful devices. The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas featured more than 4,500 exhibitors. These booths showed off bizarre gadgets including, a spy camera for your garden, a vacuum that picks socks up from the floor and a cheese maker that makes mozzarella in two hours.

DailyMail.com chose several wacky ones such as an adorable fluffy robot that imitates a shy infant. Mirumi features sensors that detect people approaching, prompting it to either look around inquisitively or seem to duck for cover. It also has two long arms that wrap around a strap or handle of a bag or purse, clinging to it like a small child.

Being made in pink, black, white or gray, its Japanese start-up Yukai Engineering hopes to launch the robot in 2025 via crowdfunding. Models will be priced at around $70 each. These cute little animatronic animals are called Mirumis, and are able to cling to straps or poles while shifting their heads around.

This picture shows another Mirumi. The stall was packed at CES, with many stopping to stroke the adorable robots and speak to them in soft voices like those used for a pet cat or dog. Last year, Yukai Engineering debuted an adorable circular cushion with a cat-like tail.
