The fight against stress in Japanese: on Kickstarter collect money for a pillow with a robotic tail

Japanese company Yukai Engineering went to Kickstarter with an unusual Qoobo gadget, and already managed to collect more than half of the requested amount, although there are 41 days left until the end of the campaign.

It should be noted that Qoobo looks very strange, the device looks like a pillow with a coating of artificial wool, and at the same time it has a moving tail. During the touch, the pillow vibrates, and the tail moves at a different speed, which can be adjusted. Thus, Qoobo mimics the reaction of a cat or dog to stroking.

In Yukai Engineering claim that their gadget positively affects the human nervous system, calming it and providing a sense of comfort.

Whatever it was, and the company has a good chance to finance the project, which has already collected 3 million 885 thousand Japanese yens from 5 million requested. The project has so far supported 298 people, and if it collects the necessary amount, Yukai Engineering promises to start supplying Qoobo in 2018.
