WIRobotics announced it has secured KRW 95 billion (approximately USD 68 million) in Series B funding as the company accelerates development of its humanoid robotics and Physical AI technologies. The financing comes about two years after the company’s KRW 13 billion Series A round in March 2024 and reflects increasing investor confidence in WIRobotics’ commercialization strategy and next-generation robotics platform.
The investment round was led by JB Investment, with participation from InterVest, Hana Ventures, Smilegate Investment, SBVA, NH Investment & Securities, Company K Partners, GU Investment, and FuturePlay.
The company has been developing its humanoid robot platform, ALLEX, using technologies focused on understanding and augmenting human movement. WIRobotics was recently selected for NVIDIA’s Physical AI Fellowship, highlighting the company’s technical capabilities and international growth potential. Through collaborations with Amazon Web Services and NVIDIA, WIRobotics is advancing Physical AI technologies while conducting joint research and proof-of-concept projects with global research institutions and automotive manufacturers.
WIRobotics said its humanoid robotics development is supported by real-world data and control technologies accumulated through its wearable robotics business. The company has spent the past three years building user datasets through its wearable walking-assist robot, WIM, while also developing personalized assistive technologies tailored to individual gait patterns and physical conditions.
Now in its third year of commercialization, WIM has surpassed 3,000 cumulative units sold and expanded into Europe, China, Türkiye, and Japan. The company said revenue increased from KRW 560 million in 2023 to KRW 1.3 billion in 2024 and KRW 2.79 billion in 2025. WIRobotics added that first-quarter 2026 revenue already exceeded its full-year 2024 total.
WIM has also received CES Innovation Awards for three consecutive years, reflecting continued recognition for the company’s technology and product competitiveness.
Founded in 2021, WIRobotics develops wearable and humanoid robotic systems powered by human movement data. The company initially commercialized its wearable walking-assist robot WIM before expanding into the Physical AI market through its humanoid robotics platform ALLEX.
