Accelerates Humanoid Commercialization and Expands from Wearables to Integrated Robotics Platforms
SEOUL, South Korea, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global robotics company WIRobotics (Co-CEOs Yeonbaek Lee and Yongjae Kim) announced that it has completed a KRW 95 billion (approximately USD 68 million) Series B funding round. The investment comes approximately two years after the company's Series A financing in March 2024 (KRW 13 billion) and reflects growing confidence in WIRobotics' next-generation robotics technologies and commercialization potential.
JB Investment led the round, joined by InterVest, Hana Ventures, Smilegate Investment, SBVA, NH Investment & Securities, Company K Partners, GU Investment, and FuturePlay.
- Advancing Humanoid Robotics and Physical AI
WIRobotics has been developing its humanoid robotics platform "ALLEX" based on technologies designed to understand and augment human movement. The company was recently selected for NVIDIA's global robotics and AI development initiative, the "Physical AI Fellowship," further validating its technological capabilities and global growth potential.
The company has identified humanoid robotics as its next major growth engine and is accelerating the development of technologies aimed at enabling human-level object manipulation and interaction capabilities.
