This fuzzy, purse-mounted robot is designed to 'delight bystanders' | TechCrunch
Briefly

"Designed to re-create people's joyful experiences of noticing a human baby as he/she tries to interact with them, Mirumi moves its head in several different ways to express its curiosity, bashfulness and other baby-like qualities and emotions."
"The bot scans its surroundings, using a combination of motion and proximity sensing, as well as taps and movement of the bag onto which it is mounted."
"Curiosity: Looks around once the bag begins to move; Inquisitiveness: Turns its head to look at a detected person or object; Bashfulness & Cautiousness: Turns back its head to hide the face when a person/object suddenly appears or when being tapped on the body."
