en.Wedoany.com Reported - South Korea's Wirobotics has unveiled the simulation model of its humanoid robot "ALLEX (Alex)" and begun building a Physical AI development ecosystem. The company announced on the 29th that it will launch a technology disclosure roadmap, gradually opening up core technologies accumulated during the humanoid robot development process to researchers and developers.

The first batch of disclosed technologies includes the simulation model of ALLEX and the results of Sim-to-Real verification. The technical focus lies in minimizing the discrepancy between the actual robot and its simulation, while precisely modeling ALLEX's unique high backdrivability and force transparency. The disclosed models are provided in MJCF format for MuJoCo, USD format for Isaac Sim, and URDF format for ROS.

With this achievement, developers and researchers can conduct control, learning, and synthetic data generation research based on ALLEX without the need for actual hardware. Alongside the technology disclosure, Wirobotics has also released a technical demonstration video on its official YouTube channel.

Wirobotics recently completed a Series B funding round of 95 billion KRW. JB Investment led the round, with participation from Intervest, Hana Ventures, Smilegate Investment, SBVA, NH Investment & Securities, among others. This marks the company's first funding in approximately two years since completing a 13 billion KRW Series A round in March 2024. Wirobotics plans to use the proceeds to accelerate ALLEX development and expand global operations, aiming to launch a research-use humanoid robot platform by the end of this year and establish a mass production system by the end of next year.
