In an exciting preview of technological innovation, WIRobotics is gearing up to make waves at the highly anticipated CES 2026 Unveiled event in Las Vegas. The South Korean robotics powerhouse will showcase its latest advancement in wearable robotics—the WIM S walking-assist robot—an innovation set to redefine mobility support for diverse users, from seniors to industrial workers.
Set against the backdrop of CES Unveiled—a buzz-generating prelude to the main Consumer Electronics Show—WIRobotics’ demonstration will allow attendees firsthand interaction with the WIM S. Designed to offer superior comfort and adaptive support, the device promises to highlight the burgeoning global appeal of wearable robotics. Initially launched domestically in South Korea in 2025, the WIM S is poised to captivate a broader audience with its practical application and user-centric improvements.
Garnering CES Innovation Awards for three steady years—across categories like Robotics, Accessibility & Aging Tech, and Digital Health—WIRobotics has cemented its reputation for pushing technological boundaries. The company’s success is fueled by the WIM series, which has already gained traction in markets ranging from Korea and Mainland China to Italy and the Netherlands. Essential for those needing assistance or endurance, these products stand out for their thoughtful integration of user feedback into their design ethos, resulting in the newly streamlined WIM S model. This version boasts increased portability and ease of use, catering to various walking scenarios with modes like Air, Hiking, Care, and Aqua.
The CES 2026 Unveiled event, scheduled from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on January 4 at the Mandalay Bay Shoreline Exhibit Hall, promises to offer an immersive experience with the WIM S through interactive walking sessions. Adding to the excitement, the event will herald the first global appearance of ALLEX, an upper-body humanoid robot that exemplifies WIRobotics’ forward-thinking approach. Introduced in August 2025, ALLEX’s debut at the Venetian Expo sets the stage for showcasing cutting-edge robotics.
Yeonbaek Lee, co-CEO of WIRobotics, emphasized the significance of this event, noting, “CES Unveiled is where global media first encounter the breakthrough technologies that signal the direction of the year ahead. The fully re-engineered WIM S and the CES debut of our upper-body humanoid ALLEX mark a turning point that introduces a new paradigm for the next generation of robotic technology WIRobotics aims to lead.”
As a visionary leader in mobility-enhancing solutions, WIRobotics continuously integrates sophisticated design with engineering excellence. With a goal to spearhead the “one person, one robot” movement, the company’s ambitious endeavors will undoubtedly set new benchmarks in the dynamic field of robotics.
