WIRobotics Begins Building a Physical AI Development Ecosystem: The First Technology Release Features the ALLEX Simulation Model

Published

Additional core ALLEX technologies to be released sequentiallyExpanding the Physical AI development ecosystem through high-fidelity Sim-to-Real validationBuilding an open Physical AI development ecosystem for researchers and robotics developers

SEOUL, South Korea, June 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WIRobotics, a global robotics company (Co-CEOs: YounBaek Lee and Yong-Jae Kim), today announced the launch of its technology disclosure roadmap for building a Physical AI development ecosystem.

WIRobotics plans to gradually release the core technologies developed throughout its humanoid robot program to researchers and developers. As the first technology release, the company has unveiled the simulation model of its humanoid robot, ALLEX, together with the results of its Sim-to-Real (Simulation-to-Real) validation.

Across the global robotics industry, Physical AI—which enables robots to perceive, reason, and act in the physical world—is gaining attention as one of the next-generation core technologies. In particular, development approaches based on simulation environments that accurately reflect the characteristics of real robots are rapidly expanding in the humanoid robotics field.

In response to this trend, WIRobotics plans to go beyond robot development by building an open development ecosystem where external researchers and developers can actively participate. The goal is to provide an environment in which a wide range of algorithms and AI models can be researched and validated through simulation, even before physical robots become commercially available.

The newly released ALLEX simulation model focuses on minimizing the Sim-to-Real Gap between the simulation environment and the physical robot. In particular, the model precisely reproduces the characteristics of the real ALLEX, including its high backdrivability and force transparency. This demonstrates the robot’s highly differentiated Real-to-Sim characteristics, where the behavior of the physical robot closely matches that of the ideal simulation model. As a result, researchers and developers can conduct ALLEX-based robot control, learning, and synthetic data generation research without requiring access to physical hardware. The released model is available in MJCF format for MuJoCo, USD format for Isaac Sim, and URDF format for ROS.

This release marks the first step in WIRobotics’ Physical AI technology disclosure roadmap. The company plans to continue releasing additional core technologies developed throughout its humanoid robot program, further expanding the Physical AI development ecosystem.

Meanwhile, WIRobotics has also released a technical demonstration video through its official YouTube channel, showcasing the validation of consistency between the real robot and the simulation environment. The video provides a closer look at the technical implementation and the validation process.

Yong-Jae Kim, Co-CEO of WIRobotics, said:

   “In humanoid robot development, simulation models are a core infrastructure that serves as the foundation for learning, validation, and synthetic data generation. A simulation environment that effectively reflects the characteristics of the real robot enables developers to validate algorithms more quickly and increases the potential for successful deployment on physical hardware.”

He added:          

   “We plan to make the ALLEX research platform available later this year. By releasing the ALLEX simulation model, we hope more developers will begin ALLEX-based research even before the hardware becomes widely available. We will continue expanding a development ecosystem where research outcomes can ultimately be applied to real robots.”

About WIRobotics             

Founded in 2021 by former Samsung Electronics robotics engineers, WIRobotics is a robotics company developing wearable robots and humanoid robots.

Through its wearable robot WIM series, WIRobotics received CES Innovation Awards from 2024 through 2026, demonstrating its technological excellence. The company has expanded into global markets, including Europe, Japan, and China, providing a wide range of robotics solutions designed to enhance user mobility.

In 2025, WIRobotics unveiled its humanoid robot platform, ALLEX, and has continued expanding its research in the field of Physical AI. In 2026, the company was selected for the Physical AI Fellowship, a global program led by NVIDIA and Amazon Web Services (AWS), recognizing its technological competitiveness.

WIRobotics also successfully completed a Series B funding round of approximately KRW 95 billion in 2026, accelerating the development of next-generation robotics technologies and its global business expansion.

Finmo Appoints Josh D’Ambrosio as Chief Commercial Officer

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Finmo today announced the appointment of Josh D’Ambrosio as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), responsible for establishing and scaling Finmo’s global go-to-market engine, driving commercial growth and customer acquisition as the company expands into new markets and regulated jurisdictions.

Josh joins at a pivotal moment in Finmo’s growth trajectory. With newly secured licences in Dubai, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong SAR extending its regulatory footprint to eight active jurisdictions, Finmo is entering a phase of accelerated international expansion. Josh will scale the commercial function required to match that pace, deepening strategic partnerships and driving adoption of Finmo’s Treasury Operating System and Payment Infrastructure across its key markets.

Josh brings a decade of experience building and scaling commercial functions in regulated fintech, payments, and digital assets. Most recently, he served as Chief Commercial Officer of Banxa, where he transformed the business from a consumer-facing startup into a B2B fintech infrastructure platform operating across more than nine regulated markets and was recently acquired by OSL Group. Earlier in his career, Josh held enterprise risk and compliance advisory roles at Ernst and Young, giving him the regulatory foundation that underpins his approach to building commercial functions in complex, multi-jurisdictional environments.

“We have spent the last four years building the regulatory foundation and product infrastructure that positions Finmo to grow at scale across multiple markets simultaneously. Josh understands what it takes to build and lead revenue functions in multi-jurisdictional environments where compliance, product, and commercial strategy have to move in lockstep” said David Hanna, CEO and Co-founder at Finmo. “His appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter for Finmo, and I could not be more confident in the person leading it.”

For Josh D’Ambrosio, Chief Commercial Officer at Finmo, the commercial opportunity is as clear as the problem it addresses: “Finmo is solving a problem that every CFO scaling across borders eventually runs into: the infrastructure they started with was never built for the complexity they are now managing. What excites me about this opportunity is that Finmo is not just building a better payment tool or a smarter dashboard. It is defining a new category of infrastructure, a Treasury Operating System that connects cash visibility, payments, and forecasting into one layer, and doing it in a way that is genuinely accessible to mid-market finance teams. My focus will be on bringing that story to the right partners and customers, and building the commercial engine to match the ambition of what the product team has already built.”
