The design focuses on whole-body compliance, very light arms and dexterous hands so the robot can work safely around people.","sections":[{"h":"Hardware","p":["ALLEX has compliant arms, hands, neck and waist. WIRobotics built custom actuators with roughly one-tenth the friction and one twenty-fourth the inertia of typical commercial actuators, giving very high backdrivability and, the company says, a smaller sim-to-real gap.","Each arm weighs about 9 kg including the hand. The human-sized hand (the website lists 15 DoF) achieves fingertip repeatability of 0.5 mm or better, fingertip force of at least 40 N and, according to the maker, can lift more than 30 kg. It detects forces of about 100 gf without dedicated sensors. A gravity-compensation mechanism spans the whole body, and a 20 kHz torque control loop runs over high-speed EtherCAT."]},{"h":"Use cases","p":["WIRobotics presents ALLEX as a general-purpose robot able to handle both delicate manipulation and heavy or high-impact tasks alongside people. Its website does not list specific commercial deployments."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["WIRobotics is a South Korean company. Besides the humanoid it makes WIM wearable walking-assist robots and runs gait-training centers. Its stated vision is safe, interactive humanoids that coexist with people in everyday life."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["No price or sales date is listed on the manufacturer's website."]}],"timeline":[],"faq":[["Where is WIRobotics from?","South Korea."],["How much does an ALLEX arm weigh?","About 9 kg including the hand."],["How much can an ALLEX hand lift?","More than 30 kg per hand, according to the maker."],["Is ALLEX for sale?","WIRobotics has not published a price or sales date."]],"sources":[{"title":"ALLEX: General-Purpose Humanoid Robot by WIRobotics","publisher":"WIRobotics","url":"https://rih.wirobotics.com/en/allex","date":"2026-10"},{"title":"WIRobotics humanoid robot vision","publisher":"WIRobotics","url":"https://rih.wirobotics.com","date":"2026-10"},{"title":"WIRobotics home page (wearable robot WIM, gait training center)","publisher":"WIRobotics","url":"https://www.wirobotics.com","date":"2026-10"}],"updated":"2026-10-10"},"mera":{"rental_with_operator":false,"sale_in_offer":false,"availability":"confirmation_required","shop_url":null},"url":"https://merarobotics.com/blog/humanoids/wirobotics-allex","inquiry_url":"https://merarobotics.com/en/start?service=purchase&robot=wirobotics-allex"}
