Yukai Engineering’s “Qoobo (Quobo)” is a soothing robot cushion with a tail that moves like a real “cat”—that’s the standout feature. Just hug it or place it on your belly, and it helps create a gentle sense of presence and relaxing moments together with you.
Qoobo’s appeal is the soft, thoughtful movement of its “tail” when you touch it. Of course, you can use it as a hugging pillow, but even simply placing it on your lap or beside the bed gives you a cute, reassuring vibe. Like a playful electronic pet, it still naturally fits into your home as a go-to “relaxation item.”
It’s rechargeable, so you don’t have to deal with frequent battery changes, making it easy to incorporate into everyday life. It’s also popular for birthdays and gifts, and is an item people often choose as a present that can deliver both “cute” and “soothing.” I think it can be especially helpful in care settings too—making it easier to create opportunities for communication.
Since it’s intended to be used in ways that cradle your body—like a cushion, pillow, or hugging pillow—it’s perfect for relaxing during the day or resting at night. Because it includes a moving element, it can feel more like something you want to engage with than a stuffed toy, and it naturally becomes part of your daily routine.
