Apérits Enters Physical AI Field: Capital and Business Alliance with H2L, a UTokyo-originated Startup Digitizing 'Physical Sensation'

On June 8, 2026, Apérits concluded a capital and business alliance agreement with H2L, Inc.

This partnership serves as a technological collaboration for H2L's first research and development project targeting BtoC services. The objective is to combine H2L's 'physical digitization' technology with Apérits' expertise in web and application development and service design to plan, develop, and implement Physical AI solutions.

Moving beyond a mere capital injection, the partnership establishes an equal co-creation structure: H2L acts as the 'foundational technology partner for Physical AI,' while Apérits functions as the implementation and commercialization partner. Under the vision 'Turning physical data into functional services,' the companies will jointly promote expansion into various sectors, including sports, fan experiences, facilities, skills transfer, and manufacturing.

## Full-Scale Entry into Physical AI

Apérits has positioned 'Physical AI solutions,' which integrate physical data, AI, and application development, as a key strategic area for the future.

In recent years, the company has explored the commercialization of digital experiences that incorporate physicality across multiple fields, including sports and entertainment. Through these explorations, they have strengthened their recognition that technologies handling physical data and real-world actions will play a crucial role in future digital services.

Against this backdrop, the company decided to invest, determining that H2L's technology is indispensable for accelerating the social implementation of the Physical AI domain.

## Uniqueness of H2L's 'Physical Digitization' Technology

H2L is a company developing 'BodySharing' technology, which digitizes human proprioception (position sense, weight sense, resistance sense, etc.) and treats 'physicality itself'—such as body movement, force, and tension—as data. Their technology suite is more than just sensing; it is a foundational technology that creates a 'new interface' connecting the human body with the digital world, utilizing high-precision input via muscle displacement sensors, sensory output through electrical/mechanical stimulation, and Physical AI tokens that integrate proprioception, touch, sight, and hearing.

## Physical AI Solutions Created Through Co-Creation

Apérits will consistently handle everything from conceptualization and PoC/MVP development to the implementation of applications, management screens, and billing infrastructure, as well as operational improvements after commercialization.

H2L's BodySharing technology will play a critical role in Physical AI solutions in the following areas:

- Sports Coaching AI: Compares forms and force levels with professionals, using BodySharing technology and Generative AI to verbalize improvements. It also enables the accumulation of physical data for use in Physical AI.
- Skill Transfer AI: Uses BodySharing technology to digitize the manual movements, force, and timing of experts, while Generative AI verbalizes tacit knowledge.
- Fan Participation Experiences: Real-time sharing of bodily movements and force levels to create new entertainment experiences.
- AI Measurement Menus for Facilities: Providing measurement, evaluation, and training menus utilizing physical data to sports facilities and medical institutions.
