WIRobotics was founded in 2021 and is led by co-chief executives Yeonbaek Lee and Yongjae Kim. It develops wearable and humanoid robots based on human movement data. Its first commercial product, the wearable walking-assist robot WIM, had passed 3,000 cumulative units sold by May 2026, and the company said revenue grew from KRW 560 million in 2023 to KRW 1.3 billion in 2024 and KRW 2.79 billion in 2025; it also offers a WIM Premium subscription software service. Its humanoid platform ALLEX is in development, and the company plans to supply a research version, Mobile ALLEX, to research institutions and overseas partners. On 14 May 2026 it announced a KRW 95 billion Series B, which it converted to about USD 68 million and headlined as approximately KRW 100 billion. JB Investment led the round with InterVest, Hana Ventures, Smilegate Investment, SBVA, NH Investment & Securities, Company K Partners, GU Investment and FuturePlay, and the company said every Series A investor took part again. The Series B came about two years after a KRW 13 billion Series A in March 2024. WIRobotics said it would use the money to commercialise humanoids, broaden from wearables into integrated robot platforms and set up a North American entity in California, and that it works with AWS and NVIDIA on physical AI.
