Yukai Engineering launches calm-inducing robotic cushion with breathing technology

Oct 17, 2023 | Press Releases

fufuly was created in partnership with the University of Tokyo and research based on the “phenomenon of rhythmical synchronization between individuals or between individuals and objects” as they interact with one another.

“The fufuly is the world’s first of its kind robotic cushion capable of controlling the rhythm and amplitude of its motions simultaneously,” said Shunsuke Aoki, CEO of Yukai Engineering. “Using the cushion for just five minutes has been scientifically proven to show a significant decrease in user’s stress levels, allowing them to feel more relaxed and be more alert afterward.”

fufuly features three operating modes: “Rest,” “Work,” and “Sleep” modes for unwinding the mind. Each mode is programmed with specific depth and length to achieve user-robot synchronizations without the user’s awareness. It is battery-operated and portable, allowing users to relax anytime, anywhere. To enhance the sense of comfort, fufuly has an hourglass-like shape, evoking the image of a puff of air, which enables users to put their arms around the cushion.

The estimated delivery date for fufuly is July 2024. Media wishing to interview their personnel should contact PR agent Shannon McCarthy at [email protected].
