KUKA enhances its AMR range: The new KMP 250P mobile platform is capable of moving items and parts weighing as much as 250 kilograms and can be outfitted with a lifting unit if desired. It adheres to the highest safety standards. Along with cleanroom and ESD variants, the new “sleep mode” feature simplifies automation further, even for extensive fleets
With the KUKA AMR portfolio, which includes platforms with payloads of up to 3,000 kilograms, production keeps moving. High permeability is ensured by modularity, as the accessories and chargers for the KMP 250P are compatible with the KMP 600P and KMP 1500P platforms. The various platforms can be easily integrated into one fleet.
Easy to use: compatible and intuitive
The KMP 250P can operate within a single AMR fleet and can be easily managed through the KUKA.AMR Fleet manager and the standard communication interface VDA 5050. Thanks to an enhanced “sleep mode,” even sizable fleets can easily be placed in standby. Due to its differential drive, the mobile platform demonstrates significant flexibility regarding space. Alongside a conductive charging station, an inductive option is also offered – guaranteeing that the KMP 250P stays operational without any interruptions
60-degree protection for people and machines
Safety first: Two diagonally mounted laser scanners, combined with 3D cameras, provide 360-degree protection. If an obstacle is identified in the path, it can be bypassed automatically and safely if there is sufficient space, or the KMP 250P stops fully automatically. “This high standard is very important to us. It ensures both smooth cooperation between humans and robotics and the safe transport of goods,” says Clemens Lauble, Product Manager at KUKA.
Coming in 2026: the KUKA AMR tugger
The platform will be available for order starting in December 2025. A new tugging option will be available from 2026. As a tugger, loads of up to 500 kilograms can be transported. In this variant, called the KMP 250P-T, the AMR docks onto transport trolleys from below and pulls them along.
