Description
ALLEX is WIRobotics’ first general‑purpose humanoid platform, introduced initially as an upper‑body system with a focus on human‑like responsiveness. Rather than relying solely on vision and position control, ALLEX responds to real‑world physical stimuli–force, contact, and impact—across its arms, fingers, and waist, aiming for safer, more natural interaction with people. The upper‑body unveiling took place on Aug 18, 2025 at KOREATECH’s Robot Innovation Hub in Cheonan, South Korea.
At the core is a human‑hand‑sized compliant hand with 15 degrees of freedom. It can sense small reaction forces (around 100 gf) even without tactile sensors and achieves ≤ 0.3 mm fingertip repeatability. WIRobotics reports up to 40 N fingertip force and > 30 kg hook‑grip strength, placing ALLEX’s hand performance among the strongest for high‑DOF, human‑scale robotic hands.

ALLEX’s actuation emphasizes ultra‑low friction and high backdrivability, combining precise position, force, and stiffness control. A gravity‑compensated waist supports whole‑body compliance, enabling safe interaction and high‑load tasks with precise control. Despite its capabilities, the system prioritizes low mass—about 0.7 kg per hand and roughly 5 kg for the shoulder‑down assembly–so the arms can move quickly and safely while still handling ≥ 3 kg per hand across the full workspace.

Looking ahead, WIRobotics plans to evolve ALLEX into a modular platform (arms, hands, body, leader systems) and establish commercialization via field demonstrations. To accelerate the “brains,” the company has formed a strategic partnership with RLWRLD for physical‑AI development and is collaborating with institutions including MIT, UIUC, UMass, and KIST, while continuing R&D on biped locomotion.
