Robot Brief

ALLEX (ALL-EXperience) is an advanced general-purpose humanoid robot system unveiled by South Korean robotics leader WIRobotics in 2025. It represents a leap in human-robot interaction by introducing inherently compliant force-based sensing and control across arms, hands, and waist—without requiring traditional force sensors. The humanoid upper body includes a highly backdrivable arm with ultra-low friction and inertia, a human-sized robotic hand with 15 degrees of freedom delivering fingertip forces up to 40 N and a 30+ kg hook grip, and a gravity-compensated waist for smooth and energy-efficient operation. ALLEX is designed to safely and dynamically interact with humans and environments, able to perform delicate tasks such as buttoning shirts, folding laundry, and maneuvering heavy loads. The robot platform is modular for diverse applications in manufacturing, services, and household tasks, with extensive partnerships for AI intelligence and autonomous training.

Use Cases

  • Human-like compliant interaction: Detects and responds to physical stimuli including forces as small as 100 gf without tactile sensors.
  • Fine motor skills: Achieves 0.3 mm fingertip repeatability for precise manipulation alongside powerful gripping capabilities.
  • Backdrivable, low-friction actuation: Ensures natural, safe movement, offering high agility while minimizing resistance and mechanical stress.
  • Gravity compensation: Integrated into the upper body including the waist, enabling high-load tasks with low energy consumption.
  • Modularity: Arms, hands, and body can be supplied individually or combined, fitting diverse industrial and service applications.
  • AI Integration: Collaborations with leading AI research groups to enhance autonomy and decision-making.

Industries

  • Manufacturing and Industrial Automation: Safe collaboration with humans on assembly lines and precision tasks.
  • Healthcare and Elder Care: Assistive and rehabilitative functions requiring delicate, adaptive motions.
  • Household Automation: Performing cleaning, laundry, cooking-related tasks with human-like dexterity.
  • Research and AI Development: Modular platform for rapid development and testing of advanced robotics systems.

Intro

ALLEX incorporates high-DOF compliant robotic hands with 15 degrees of freedom capable of finger force detection as low as 100 grams-force and fingertip force up to 40 N. The arms use newly developed ultra-low-friction actuators, offering more than ten times less friction and rotational inertia than traditional collaborative robots to ensure fluid movement and human-safe interaction. A gravity-compensated upper body design reduces energy consumption and mechanical load during complex operations like lifting. The overall upper body assembly from shoulder to waist weighs about 5 kilograms, while the robotic hand alone weighs around 700 grams but can grip over 3 kilograms. Together, ALLEX delivers a combination of delicate task precision and strong load handling unmatched by most collaborative robots in its size class.

Connectivity

  • Supports integration with AI platforms and cloud robotics systems for autonomous learning.
  • Interfaces for control, telemetry, and collaborative operation with humans.
  • Collaborations with MIT, UIUC, UMass, KIST, and Maxon for AI development and actuator technology.

Capabilities

  • 15 Degrees of Freedom in robotic hand for fine dexterity.
  • Finger sensitivity to forces as small as 100 gf without external sensors.
  • High gripping force (40 N fingertip, 30+ kg hook grip).
  • Ultra-low friction actuators for smooth, energy-efficient motion.
  • Gravity compensation in torso and waist for mobility and load support.
  • Modular design for scalable integration in various industries.
