KUKA Showcases Advanced AMR Technology at MODEX 2026



KUKA Robotics will showcase its broad portfolio of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) designed for seamless automation integration at MODEX 2026, taking place April 13-16 in Atlanta, GA, at the Georgia World Congress Center. Attendees can visit KUKA in Building ABC, Level 1, Booth B15132 to see live demonstrations of advanced AMR solutions, including the debut of the KMP 250P autonomous mobile platform.

The booth will feature live demonstrations of several KUKA AMR models, including the KMP 250P, KMP 600P, KMP 1500P, and KMP 3000P. These AMRs range in payload from 250 to 3,000 kg, and they fully integrate with the KUKA.AMR FLEET software for managing a facility's autonomous vehicles. The display will also include AMRs interacting with a KR QUANTEC PA palletizing robot, demonstrating the speed and flexibility of KUKA's automated palletizing solutions.

AMR solutions on display:

  • The KMP 250P is a compact AMR designed for flexible deployment. With differential drive technology, the KMP 250P offers high maneuverability, and each unit can lift a 250-kg load. The conductive charging station and optional inductive charging solutions provide continuous operation with minimal interruption.
  • The KMP 250P is equipped with advanced safety features, including 3D cameras and laser scanners, enabling reliable obstacle detection and personnel safety.
  • KUKA's KMP 600P is a compact AMR that can transport up to 600 kg and is suitable for production environments with limited space. With its differential drive technology, it can move forward and backward in addition to rotating in place and rounding curves with a defined radius.
  • The KMP 600P can use SLAM-based autonomous navigation, with an optional QR-code and line-following navigation system-a new feature now available to all KMPs that adds flexibility in rapidly changing environments. Two integrated 3D cameras enable obstacle detection and avoidance, eliminating the need for safety fencing. An IP54-rated design protects the platform from contaminates.
  • The KMP 1500P supports transportation and logistics processes with a 60 mm lift stroke, precision positioning, and a payload capacity of up to 1.5 tons. Using built-in identification technology and QR code readers, the AMR can lift and transport a wide range of load carriers, making it easy to integrate into existing production and warehouse environments. Its adaptive navigation allows autonomous path optimization in dynamic settings, while inductive charging enables intelligent 24/7 operation. The AI-based KUKA.AMR Fleet software provides intuitive navigation and centralized control.
  • For heavy-duty performance, the KMP 3000P handles payloads of up to 3 tons with millimeter precision. With the same advanced safety provisions as the KMP 1500P, the KMP 3000P is designed to operate safely alongside people while transporting heavy loads using its omnidirectional movement system. It has a 3D camera on all four sides to aid navigation.
