Automation firm KUKA has expanded its AMR portfolio with the new KMP 250P mobile platform, which can transport goods and components weighing up to 250 kg and can be optionally equipped with a lifting unit.
With the KUKA AMR portfolio, which includes platforms with payloads of up to 3,000 kg, 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 different platforms can be easily integrated into one fleet.

The KMP 250P is compatible for use within one AMR fleet and can be intuitively controlled using the fleet manager KUKA.AMR Fleet and the standard communication interface VDA 5050. With the help of an extended “sleep mode,” even large fleets can be put into standby in a user-friendly manner. Thanks to its differential drive, the mobile platform is also flexible in terms of space. In addition to a conductive charging station, an inductive version is also available as an option — ensuring that the KMP 250P remains in operation without interruption.
Meanwhile, two diagonally mounted laser scanners, combined with 3D cameras, offer 360° 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 automatically.
The platform will be available for order starting in December 2025. A new tugging option will be available in 2026. As a tugger, loads of up to 500 kg can be transported. In this variant, called the KMP 250P-T, the AMR docks onto transport trolleys from below and pulls them along.
