WIRobotics Unveils ALLEX: Pioneering Open Physical AI with High-Fidelity Sim-to-Real Robotics Platform
June 29, 2026
WIRobotics unveiled a technology disclosure roadmap to build an open Physical AI development ecosystem, starting with the ALLEX simulation model and validating it through Sim-to-Real tests.
The ALLEX model enables ALLEX-based research without physical hardware and is released in MJCF, USD, and URDF formats for MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, and ROS.
The ALLEX simulation achieves high-fidelity Sim-to-Real validation, accurately reproducing the real robot’s characteristics, including high backdrivability and force transparency.
The announcement cites co-CEOs YounBaek Lee and Yong-Jae Kim and notes the press release origin in Seoul, South Korea.
WIRobotics, founded in 2021 by former Samsung robotics engineers, focuses on wearable and humanoid robots and has earned multiple CES Innovation Awards (2024–2026) for its WIM series.
In 2026, WIRobotics was selected for the NVIDIA/AWS Physical AI Fellowship and completed a KRW 95 billion Series B to accelerate development and global expansion.
CEO statements frame simulation models as foundational infrastructure for learning, validating, and deploying humanoid robot technologies.
The company has commercialized wearable robots under the WIM family and expanded into Europe, Japan, and China, building a revenue base for future humanoid offerings.
Co-CEOs emphasize that simulation enables faster algorithm validation, easier real-hardware deployment, and that the ALLEX research platform will be available later this year.
The leadership views ALLEX as critical infrastructure for learning, validation, and synthetic data generation, with a broader release planned to expand ALLEX-based research.
Executives and investors position WIRobotics as a platform player in Physical AI, leveraging open tooling to attract an ecosystem that could drive demand for future ALLEX hardware and services.
