WIRobotics CES 2026 Showcases Wearable and Humanoid Robots

WIRobotics, a global robotics company co-led by Co-CEOs Yeonbaek Lee and Yongjae Kim, concluded its successful participation in CES 2026 Unveiled in Las Vegas, drawing significant attention from global media and industry professionals for its wearable and humanoid robotics portfolio.

The company highlighted its upgraded wearable walking-assist robot WIM S at the Unveiled event, which has expanded beyond Korea into Europe, China, and Japan since 2025. WIM S received praise for its real-world usability, user-friendly design, and scalability across diverse markets, with attendees noting its potential to address everyday mobility needs. WIRobotics also secured its third consecutive CES Innovation Award (2024-2026) for its WIM KIDS model, a child-focused walking-assist robot featuring a growth-adaptive frame system that accommodates children aged 4-15 through modular adjustments.

During CES 2026, WIRobotics demonstrated its humanoid robot ALLEX through live movement and interactive sessions, attracting interest from major technology companies including NVIDIA, Meta, and Amazon. The company is actively discussing technical collaborations with these firms to advance humanoid robotics applications and scalability, with preliminary talks progressing to specific development directions.

WIRobotics' wearable robots distinguish themselves through human-centered design philosophy, focusing on natural body integration and minimal assistance levels. The company's early market entry with WIM (commercialized in 2023) positioned it ahead of competitors in the wearable robotics space, with existing users from 2024 visiting the booth to experience WIM S upgrades and share how the technology improved their daily lives.

Co-CEO Yeonbaek Lee emphasized the company's dual focus at CES 2026: "Building on the real-world experience we have accumulated through wearable robots and the growing interest in our humanoid robotics, we aim to create new possibilities for robotics through collaboration with global technology companies." The company will continue demonstrations at the main CES 2026 exhibition at the Venetian Expo (Hall A-D, Booth #54735), showcasing both WIM S and ALLEX to global audiences.

WIRobotics' strategy of simultaneously advancing everyday mobility solutions (WIM series) and next-generation humanoid technology (ALLEX) reflects its broader vision for robotics integration into human life. The company's 2025 unveiling of ALLEX's upper body and its 2023 commercialization of wearable robots mark key milestones in transitioning robotics from industrial applications to consumer-focused mobility solutions.

According to the official press release, WIRobotics' approach has positioned it as a leader in robotics designed for long-term, real-world adoption rather than short-term demonstrations, with its technologies already serving users across multiple continents.
