Embodied AI • Haptics • Robotics

We build full-stack experiences that connect atoms, algorithms, and touch.

From mechanical design to cloud operations, we deliver products that feel natural in everyday life. Our team pairs haptic engineering with applied AI to make interfaces responsive, measurable, and human.

Data reflects combined engagements across education titles, sports technology pilots, and embedded design services.

Capabilities

Integrated hardware, software, and touch.

Every engagement scopes measurable outcomes: performance gains, user retention, or sensory fidelity. We own the stack until the product ships.

Product Studio

Ship hardware, firmware, cloud, and client apps under one roof. We iterate with real users and own the last-mile QA.

Recent: education platforms, consumer IoT, creator tooling.

Sports Tech R&D

Translate motion data into precision feedback for athletes. Mechanical, haptic, and sensing systems co-designed from day one.

Flagship: HAPTic Putter with square-locked pendulum control.

Education & Media

Create content and channels that make engineering tangible. Blend storytelling with interactive experiences.

Examples: Kanata the Kid Creator, STEM DAD, Alexa learning titles.

Flagship Products

Proven launches and deep prototypes.

We maintain in-house programs to explore new modalities and keep our toolchain production ready.

HAPTic Putter

Square-locked, pendulum-pure putter with haptic-tuned feedback and an optional sensor module for practice analytics.

  • COG-to-shaft alignment keeps the face stable through impact.
  • Optional BLE IMU cartridge streams tempo, angle, and path.
  • Swap to an equal-mass dummy insert for tournament play.

Shiritori (Alexa Skill)

Conversational play meets language learning. Operated end-to-end from content to cloud ops with real-time telemetry.

  • Japan’s #1 Alexa skill with sustained 400M+ utterances.
  • Supports seasonal content drops, live events, and analytics.
  • Deployed across multilingual households and classrooms.

Process

Concept to shipment, without handoffs.

We blend design, engineering, and operations so that every build is instrumented for learning and ready for scale.

Step 1

Discover & Frame

Start with field research and data to define measurable outcomes. We align on constraints, compliance, and manufacturing targets.

Step 2

Prototype & Validate

Design loops blend CAD, firmware, and software. We validate with closed betas, hardware-in-the-loop rigs, and usability studies.

Step 3

Deploy & Evolve

Cloud releases, over-the-air updates, and service tooling keep products fresh. We operate the stack and fold learnings into next builds.

Research & Media

Sharing the craft behind embodied interfaces.

We publish haptics research, patent new interaction models, and run public channels to demystify engineering. Explore technical notes in the docs directory or request guest talks for universities and labs.
