University residence halls strictly ban live pets (often allowing only small fish tanks), AND campus captive-portal Wi-Fi networks notoriously block smart home devices and cloud-dependent AI robots from pairing. For students wanting a desk pet or robot pet in a dorm room, offline operation is essential.

1. Four Dorm-Room Advantages of Yukai Engineering's Mirumi
- No campus Wi-Fi or app needed: Per the official US FAQ (source), Mirumi requires no app or subscription and has no AI or language recognition—working 100% offline from day one.
- Roommate-quiet study buddy: Responds to head petting and nearby sound with physical head turns and pauses rather than loud chatter.
- From dorm desk to campus backpack: Weighs approximately 155 g (US Gray spec) and wraps around ~10–15 mm backpack loops or tote handles (US FAQ).
- Charges with a laptop USB-C cord: No bulky charging dock to pack during semester breaks (just keep it dry, as the fur is non-removable and not washable). Explore Mirumi Robot Pink, Mirumi Robot Ivory, and Mirumi Robot Gray.
