A domestic robotics company, WeRobotics, is accelerating the development of next-generation humanoid robot technologies with support from major global IT companies. WeRobotics announced on the 13th that it has been named to the second cohort of the Physical AI Fellowship, sponsored by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NVIDIA and organized by MassRobotics. The program focuses on refining intelligent solutions so that robotic technologies can operate stably in real-world settings.

This cohort selected nine companies representing sectors such as agriculture, construction, and logistics. WeRobotics was listed as the only company among them possessing humanoid robot technology, underscoring its technological position. Selected firms will receive AWS usage credits worth approximately USD 200,000 and technical consulting from experts at the Generative AI Center.

Technical support will also be significantly strengthened. WeRobotics will gain access to advanced assets including Isaac, NVIDIA’s robotics development platform, and Cosmos, used for building world models. This is expected to further deepen its research on humanoid robots that combine precise hand movements with physical interaction intelligence.

WeRobotics plans to deploy its robotic systems in actual industrial and service environments, using the test zones and human networks provided by MassRobotics to verify performance. The core task is to demonstrate practical utility in real-world environments by combining the devices’ inherent physical actuation performance with artificial intelligence decision-making capabilities.

Kim Yong-jae, co-CEO of WeRobotics, stated that the company aims to open a new horizon in robot intelligence capable of human-like interaction through this opportunity. The program is scheduled to conclude with demonstrations at major international events, including AWS re:Invent, to be held in late 2026.
