KUKA UNVEILS NEW HEAVYWEIGHT AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT AT PROMAT 2025: INNOVATION AND FLEXIBILITY FOR INDUSTRY
KUKA Robotics, a global leader in industrial automation solutions, is set to amaze attendees at PROMAT 2025 with its new heavyweight addition to the family of autonomous mobile robots (AMR): the KMP 3000P. This innovative robot will be unveiled from March 17 to 20 at McCormick Place in Chicago, where visitors to booth N7307 can explore its advanced capabilities that are transforming logistics and manufacturing production.
The KMP 3000P is a robust and flexible solution designed to transport heavy loads of up to three tons in any direction, including diagonal angles. Its omnidirectional drive system allows it to maneuver nimbly and precisely in the tightest spaces of production facilities. Equipped with four integrated 3D cameras and two laser scanners, this mobile robot offers a 360-degree view, enabling it to autonomously detect and navigate around obstacles, optimizing both safety and operational efficiency. Thanks to this advanced technology, the KMP 3000P eliminates the need for floor guide systems, facilitating its integration into any environment.
The KMP 3000P also features an innovative inductive charging system, allowing the platform to wirelessly recharge at multiple points within the production plant, further enhancing its flexibility. This feature is key to maximizing the robot’s uptime without interruptions, enabling a continuous work cycle.
At KUKA’s booth at PROMAT 2025, visitors will be able to see how the KMP 3000P works in conjunction with a KR QUANTEC industrial robot. This robotic cell will be a live demonstration of how the KMP 3000P transports heavy rolls to the KR QUANTEC, where these materials are handled and placed at different points on the production line. Equipped with AIRSKIN®, the KR QUANTEC ensures fast and safe handling, even in barrier-free environments, without compromising its load capacity or reliability.
In addition to the demonstration with the KMP 3000P, KUKA will present a second interactive cell featuring its KUKA LBR iisy cobot and the AMR KMP 600P. Attendees will be able to participate in a unique experience where the cobot will select an item chosen by the visitor from a tablet and transport it with the AMR KMP 600P to another cobot that will deliver the item directly to the user. This interactive flow allows firsthand experience of how KUKA’s robotic solutions can enhance the efficiency of material handling and transport in highly dynamic work environments.
The KMP 600P is a compact, high-performance platform designed to operate in confined spaces, with a load capacity of up to 600 kg. It is ideal for transporting materials from the warehouse to workstations or assembly lines, optimizing production flow and minimizing downtime.
To delve into the benefits of mobile robotics, Denise Stafford, KUKA’s Director of Business Development, will offer a lecture titled “How Mobile Robots Have Evolved: Lessons Learned After a Decade of Use” on Monday, March 17, at Theater I of PROMAT 2025. In this session, Stafford will provide valuable insights on how to choose the most suitable robotic solution to address the complex challenges of modern industry, helping manufacturers increase productivity while facing labor shortages.
