Maeil Business spotlights WIM's 'robot brain' (July 2026)

On July 19, 2026, Maeil Business, a leading Korean business daily, ran a feature on WIM under the headline "Korea's 'robot brain' that NVIDIA is watching." The article covered WIM's architecture, which runs AI computation and robot control inside a single palm-sized device.

WIM CEO Woojin Jeon said that moving a single robot today requires a computer, a motor controller, and separate sensor-processing hardware, making systems complex and costly, and that WIM handles all of it in one software stack.

WIM's product pairs W-RC, which controls motors and sensors in real time, with PLEM, the software that plans a robot's paths and motions. Per the article, AI decisions and motor movements occur within one millisecond, and AI developers can control robots without writing complex control code, including natural-language commands via LLM integration.

The article also reported revenue in the six-hundred-million-won range last year and roughly three billion won in cumulative investment. WIM's customer base has grown from research institutes to large and mid-sized firms including LG, and it collaborates with Japan's Yaskawa while pursuing expanded cooperation with Naurobotics.

WIM is a member of NVIDIA Inception and is regularly invited to GTC in the U.S. CEO Woojin Jeon said the company plans to extend its control platform from robot arms to mobile robots, quadrupeds, and humanoids, and to refine it to the point where developers "can freely build the products they want without having to think about control itself."
