This tiny drink cooling robot has finally hit Kickstarter

First announced at CES 2025, Yukai Engineering’s Nékojita FuFu is a tiny robot that’s designed to hang off cups and bowls to cool food and drinks by blowing on them. Calling it a robot is might be a bit of a stretch, but it’s cute, compact, and now available for preorder through Kickstarter for ¥3,550 (around $25 USD).

It’s USB-C rechargeable and can reduce temperatures by up to 30 degrees in just three minutes.

<em>Nékojita FuFu is designed to hang off bowls and cups less than 6 millimeters thick but can also sit next to plates full of food.</em>
<em>The robot’s body is made of silicone so it’s washable and it can be controlled using a wireless remote.</em>
<em><em>Nékojita FuFu</em> offers multiple blowing modes including one that emulates the varied strength and rhythm of a human blowing.</em>
