WIRobotics Unveils ALLEX: Pioneering Open Physical AI with High-Fidelity Sim-to-Real Robotics Platform
  • 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.

  • Related materials include a YouTube demonstration, a GitHub repository for the ALLEX model, and the original PR Newswire release.
