OVERVIEW
LUFI was born during the pandemic in late 2022, in Shanghai, where people are under emotional damage. Based on research, it's proved that hugging can provide emotional support. So we designed LUFI, a huggable robot with a pair of wings and a flurry and soft doll to provide more efficient emotional support through physical hugging.
