What a mobile cobot can do in production

Our consortium partner, Sirris, was given the opportunity to make temporary use of a KMR iiwa with the aim to extensively test and explore the potential of a mobile cobot.

In the future, production will require intelligent, modular, versatile and mobile concepts. Production processes are constantly changing. Therefore, mobile robotic systems must be able to adapt to this. The KMR (Kuka Mobile Robot) iiwa combines the strengths of a sensitive, lightweight cobot - the LBR iiwa - with a mobile, autonomous Kuka platform. It is the combination of a robot arm and an AGV (automated guided vehicle). The system is also equipped with the Kuka Sunrise OS for robot and mobile platform, and the autonomous navigation SLAM.
