Hamgorithm technology produces different types of gentle bites, reminiscent of babies & puppies

Story

Replicating the cute habits of babies, kittens, and puppies, it nibbles on your finger. While you stopped that behavior in the past—as sharp little teeth can hurt—this adorable robot lets you enjoy the same comfort.

With Amagami Ham Ham, you can keep this sweet, gentle biting sensation nearby at all times. If you find yourself stressed out at work, your sweet robot pet will be right there to relax you.  Its small size lets you easily take it with you to the office and keep it on your desk.

Why the name? We’re glad you asked! In Japanese, amagami means nibbling, and ham means nom nom. So, Amagami Ham Ham essentially means nibbling nom nom. Cute, right?

Amagami Ham Ham has a sensor that recognizes your finger and begins nibbling. Called the HAMling system, this module consists of the sensor and the entire jaw area.  Thanks to the Hamgorithm algorithm, you’ll never get bored of Amagami Ham Ham’s little bites. 

Amagami Ham Ham’s nibbles feel like a massage on your finger that’s just a bit different each time. With the Hamgorithm program, you’ll experience a different sweet nibble every time you use Amagami Ham Ham. Conveying a variety of emotions in a nonverbal way, this robot gives you comfort.

Amagami Ham Ham has a sensor that recognizes your finger and begins nibbling. Called the HAMling system, this module consists of the sensor and the entire jaw area.

Amagami Ham Ham’s lower jaw moves, and the entire jaw consists of a soft resin that flexes. You’ll enjoy sensations such as mumble, reflex, and massage. Each offers a different calming sensation.

If you’ve raised a dog from puppyhood or a baby from infancy, you know the feeling of their sweet little mouth nibbling on your finger. And you know the pain that comes when they bite just a bit too hard. With Amagami Ham Ham, you can reminisce about the sweet nibbling habit you miss—without any of the negative side effects. 

Or let Amagami Ham Ham live on your nightstand or end table so it’s ready for a cuddle when you watch a movie. Wherever you go, it will give you comfort, happiness, and relaxation.

Even if someone has never had a child or pet, they’ll love this cute little robotic animal. It’ll bring a smile to anyone’s face when they feel Amagami Ham Ham’s sweet nibbles! Plus, the gentle biting creates a bonding experience with Amagami Ham Ham, showing children what it feels like to nurture an animal.

If you or your child loves interesting and cute stuffed animals, Amagami Ham Ham is for you! And, while not every animal-lover can have a pet based on their living situation, this stuffed robot is a great solution.

Both Amagami Ham Ham models are incredibly cute and have the classic NEMU NEMU look. Choose from Yuzu, the Tricolor Cat, and Kotaro, the Shiba Inu.

Amagami Ham Ham is the first product in a collaboration between Yukai Engineering and NEMU NEMU Animals® by LIVHEART

If you know the NEMU NEMU collection, you’ll recognize Amagami Ham Ham’s sweet sleeping face. Just like the other stuffed animals made by LIVHEART, both Amagami Ham Ham models have adorable faces. With a lovable expression and soft feel, it has healing and comforting abilities.

Amagami Ham Ham is easy to set up. Simply unzip the back of the robot’s fur coat and take out the battery holder. Open the holder’s lid and insert three (3) AA batteries. Close the lid, turn on the switch, and place it back inside Amagami Ham Ham. You’re ready to go!

Yukai Engineering’s motto is “Robotics for Fun Living.”  Just like BOCCO emo, our flagship family communication robot, and Qoobo, our popular tail-wagging cushion – which have received the GOOD DESIGN Award, Red Dot Award, and Design Intelligence Award – all of our products are created to make life more joyful and happier for everyone. And Amagami Ham Ham is no exception.

Amagami Ham Ham was created specifically for everyday users. It’s a little robot that provides people with comfort and love to heal their hearts.

The idea for Amagami Ham Ham was conceived during Yukai Engineering’s in-house “Makeathon 2020.” One of our team members fondly remembered how his children and pets used to nibble on his fingers when they were babies. His colleagues then suggested we develop a product that can recreate those happy feelings that he had for anyone who cherishes similar memories.
