Wiro Robotics has secured 95 billion won in Series B funding and is accelerating the commercialization of its humanoid business. The company's strategy is to expand the user data and control technology acquired from wearable robots into the development of humanoid platforms.

Wiro Robotics announced on the 15th that it has completed its Series B funding round. JB Investment participated as the lead investor, joined by Intervest, Hana Ventures, Smilegate Investment, SBVA, NH Investment & Securities, Company K, GU Investment, and FuturePlay. The company has secured a large-scale follow-up investment approximately two years after its Series A funding round worth 13 billion won in March 2024.

Wiro Robotics has accumulated real user data for approximately three years, centering on its walking assistance wearable robot, 'WIM'. Based on this, the company developed assistance technologies tailored to individual walking patterns and physical conditions, and WIM surpassed 3,000 cumulative sales units in its third year of commercialization. It has also expanded into overseas markets, including Europe, China, Turkey, and Japan.

The company is using such real-world data and control technology as the foundation for the development of the humanoid 'ALLEX'. ALLEX is a humanoid robot currently under development with the goal of achieving human-level manipulation intelligence. Wiro Robotics was recently selected for NVIDIA’s robotics and AI development program, the ‘Physical AI Fellowship,’ and is also developing Physical AI technology with AWS and NVIDIA.

Plans for the commercialization of humanoid robots are also taking shape. Wiro Robotics plans to supply its research mobile humanoid, 'Mobile ALLEX,' to global research institutions and overseas partners this year. Through this, the company will conduct joint R&D and technology verification in real-world environments, and pursue initial commercialization with the goal of establishing a mass production system by the end of next year.

The company is also pursuing expansion into the global market. Wiro Robotics is in the process of establishing a local subsidiary in California to respond to the North American market and is expanding cooperation with global distributors and healthcare networks.

Lee Yeon-baek, co-CEO of Wiro Robotics, stated, “This is the result of receiving recognition for the potential that real human movement data and control technology accumulated through wearable robots can be expanded into next-generation humanoid robotics.”
