WIRobotics, a South Korea-based robotics company, has closed a 95 billion won Series B funding round. This represents a nearly 8x increase from its Series A round of 13 billion won raised in March 2024.
JB Investment led the round as the lead investor, with InterVest, Hana Ventures, Smilegate Investment, SBVA, NH Investment & Securities, Company K Partners, GU Investment, and FuturePlay joining as participating investors. All investors from the previous Series A round returned to participate in this follow-on round, signaling strong continued confidence in the company.
Founded in 2021, WIRobotics develops wearable and humanoid robot systems grounded in real-world human movement data. The company’s wearable walking-assist robot, WIM, has surpassed cumulative sales of 3,000 units and expanded into international markets including Europe, China, Turkey, and Japan. WIM has won the CES Innovation Award for three consecutive years, and the company was recently selected for NVIDIA’s Physical AI Fellowship program. Revenue has grown consistently year-over-year — 560 million won in 2023, 1.3 billion won in 2024, and 2.79 billion won in 2025 — with Q1 2026 revenue alone already surpassing all of 2024’s annual figures.
The newly raised capital will be directed toward developing and commercializing WIRobotics’ humanoid robot platform, ALLEX. The company is collaborating with AWS and NVIDIA to advance Physical AI capabilities and is in active proof-of-concept discussions with global automotive manufacturers. WIRobotics targets the launch of a research-grade humanoid platform by the end of 2026, followed by a mass production system in late 2027, while also establishing a U.S. entity in California to target the North American market.
