Autonomous mobile manipulators – the future of flexible production

The factory of the future demands mobility and flexibility. Static production lines are making way for the next generation of robots: they are being replaced by intelligent, mobile robot units. Mobile robots navigate autonomously, act in swarms and offer total flexibility for industrial manufacturing. This is especially important for internal logistics. KUKA offers a vast mobility portfolio, from manually movable to autonomously navigating solutions.

Our robots work hand in hand with humans and align to the workpiece with millimeter precision. In addition, the fully autonomous variants work without any induction loops, floor markings or magnets.?Our range of mobile robots is heralding the next era of cyber-physical production.

Overview of KUKA mobile manipulator robots

KMR iisy

Use the autonomous mobile cobot platform for collaborative operation in assembly, intralogistics and as a service robot system.

KMR iiwa

The KMR iiwa is a flexible and autonomously navigating platform that moves the robot to where it is needed – precisely and safely.

KMR QUANTEC

The autonomously navigating KMR Quantec is particularly suitable for the machining of heavy components. More about our mobile industrial robot system.
