Overview
AeiROBOT is a Korean humanoid robotics company spun out from the HERoEHS robotics laboratory at Hanyang University ERICA in Ansan, developing the ALICE humanoid robot platform for industrial manufacturing, shipbuilding, and construction. The company's ALICE M1 wheeled humanoid features 7-DOF arms, adjustable height (1.3 to 1.7 m), and NVIDIA GR00T AI for task-level autonomy in high-mix production environments.
AeiROBOT is a founding member of the K-Humanoid Alliance, received South Korea's first Regulatory Sandbox approval for humanoid factory deployments, and was featured in NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's CES 2026 keynote. The company plans to supply approximately 20 robots in 2026 before beginning full-scale commercial shipments in 2027
