Wearable robot leader Werobotics (Co-CEOs Yeonbaek Lee and Yongjae Kim) participated in CES 2025 to showcase its wearable robot, targeting the US market for its walking assistance wearable robot.

Werobotics participated in 'CES 2025', the world's largest home appliance and IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA, and introduced the wearable robot 'WIM (We Innovate Mobility, hereinafter referred to as WIM)' in line with the 'one robot per person era'.

WIM has won the CES Robotics Innovation Award for two consecutive years, including 2024, and Werobotics plans to make a full-fledged entry into the US market this year.

WIM has already proven itself as a leader in wearable robots, selling over 400 units in just six months since its domestic launch in 2024.

Currently, WIM is positioned as a wearable walking assistance robot that provides optimal solutions to a wide range of consumers, from those in their 20s and 30s who wish to improve their walking health to those in their 70s and 80s who wish to enhance their walking ability, to sanitation workers and rangers of the National Park Service who require continuous high-intensity walking for their work.

The WIM, the world's first single-actuator technology, boasts a lightweight weight of 1.6 kg by optimizing the symmetrical auxiliary frame structure with a single motor, and can be easily attached and detached by anyone in less than 30 seconds.

WIM is not only lightweight, but also effective in improving walking health. A four-week WIM exercise program targeting older adults aged 70-80 in 2023 showed that 78% of participants experienced improvements in physical functions, including walking speed, endurance, and hip and ankle strength.

As these test results demonstrate, WIM is the optimal solution for strengthening lower body muscles and can be used by people of all ages, from young to old.

Additionally, WIM analyzes the user's walking patterns based on AI and big data linked to a dedicated mobile app to provide personalized walking solutions.

Users can maximize the effectiveness of WIM according to their usage patterns through its various modes. WIM offers assistance mode, exercise mode, hiking mode (uphill/downhill), and low-speed walking mode, each with three levels of intensity.

Since launching WIM in 2024, Werobotics has been conducting nationwide experiential marketing activities, including hosting WIM seminars for senior exercise enthusiasts in Cheonan City and an experiential pop-up store in Busan with the concept of "Walking Together." Through these initiatives, the company has expanded consumer engagement with wearable robots and fulfilled its mission of improving the quality of life through technology.

Additionally, the "Wim Walking Exercise Center," Korea's first wearable robot walking center, is helping to integrate wearable robots into everyday life for everyone nationwide. The Wim Walking Exercise Center, which opened in March 2024, has welcomed approximately 1,000 visitors for one-on-one experiences in just eight months. The WIM Walking Center not only allows users to experience WIM products before purchasing, but also provides 1:1 customized exercise programs utilizing WIM under the guidance of experts.

Wirobotics Co-CEO Lee Yeon-baek said, “Since the launch of WIM in 2024, Wirobotics has held various experiential events to approach the public as a friendly wearable robot,” and “We are excited to be able to introduce WIM’s innovative walking solution to consumers around the world through our entry into the global market in 2025. Wirobotics will continue to strive to improve the quality of life by developing human-centered technologies so that wearable robots can naturally permeate the daily lives of various users.”
