At CES 2026, Younbaek Lee, Co-CEO of global robotics company WIRobotics, explains the company’s products to visitors at the exhibition.
During CES 2026 Unveiled and the main exhibition, WIRobotics presented its wearable walking assistance robot WIM S and humanoid robot ALLEX. It thus went beyond demonstrations and took part in concrete business discussions and technical cooperation planning. This year’s CES was a meaningful turning point, with tangible results pointing to real-world partnerships and business expansion.
ALLEX attracted strong interest at the fair from global technology companies, including NVIDIA, Meta and Amazon, with purchasing interest from several organizations. WIRobotics has also drawn up concrete plans for technical cooperation and joint technology development with selected major technology companies in the field of AI, bringing discussions to an actionable stage.
ALLEX was extremely appreciated for its hands and arms with a high degree of freedom, as well as its ability to deliver human force control and natural interaction over the entire body. Allex’s research-focused platform, which will be commercially available later this year, along with an expanded configuration integrated with a mobile base on wheels, has also been highly anticipated.
The company’s wearable robot WIM also delivered tangible business results at CES 2026. WIRobotics held discussions on potential collaboration with senior living communities and government-led programs in the United States, while advancing distribution partnerships in Mexico, the Middle East and Southeast Asia and further strengthening its global expansion strategy.
With nearly three years of commercial deployment, WIM continues to demonstrate its value as a wearable robot designed for long-term daily use. Existing users from around the world visited the WIRobotics booth to experience product upgrades and share feedback on real-world usage, strengthening user trust and supporting adoptione.
“CES 2026 marked a pivotal transition for WIRobotics from showcasing technology to executing true collaboration and business initiatives with global partners,” said Younbaek Lee, co-CEO of WIRobotics.
“The real-world experience and data collected through wearable robotics have become a core value in accelerating the maturity and commercialization of our humanoid robotics technology. Building on both platforms, we will actively expand joint development and global market opportunities with our partners.”
After CES 2026, WIRobotics plans to accelerate global collaboration and business expansion focused on humanoid and wearable robotics. This contributes to the broader integration of robotics in research, industry and everyday life.
