A companion robot-slash-lamp, Mori resembles a mushroom, with a glowing head and eyes that emerge from the base. It’s designed to proactively help you relax and connect with nature. It’s cute, stylish even. But I’m deeply skeptical about a robot connecting me with nature, and even more so of one whose company claims it’s alive. Mori is available to order now for $649, in four colors. [Video: Mori companion robot]
