KUKA has expanded its range of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) by introducing the new KMP 250P model, a mobile transport module designed for the transport of loads and components weighing up to 250 kilograms.
The system, which can also be equipped with a lift, will be available for order in December 2025.
The German automation specialist noted that the new model complements the existing KUKA AMP range, which includes platforms with a lifting capacity of up to 3 tons.
The KMP 250P platform is compatible with accessories and charging solutions for the KMP 600P and KMP 1500P models, making it easier to use different types of modules in the same fleet.
According to KUKA, the module is controlled using the KUKA.AMR Fleet software package, which supports the VDA 5050 communication standard.
The new sleep mode feature improves energy efficiency and allows large fleets to be put into sleep mode efficiently. The module is driven by a differential transmission and is equipped with a wired and inductive charging system to maintain trouble-free operation.
Security was a key development priority. Two diagonally mounted laser scanners together with 3D cameras provide 360-degree surveillance. The company says the platform automatically avoids obstacles where possible and comes to a complete stop when necessary.
“This high standard is of great importance to us, as it ensures efficient interaction between humans and robots and the safe transport of goods,” emphasized Clemens Laubl, Product Manager at KUKA.
In addition, the KMP 250P will be available in versions for clean rooms and electrostatic environments. It is planned to release a version of the KMP 250P-T tractor in 2026, which will be able to couple with transport trolleys from below and tow loads weighing up to 500 kilograms.
