Global Robotics Revolution: How KUKA's 2024 Innovations Are Reshaping Manufacturing

May 12, 2025

KUKA Group, under Midea's ownership, has made remarkable strides in 2024 with 27 new product launches spanning SCARA robots, heavy-duty systems, and AI-powered solutions. What caught my attention: Their KMP 3000P omnidirectional AMR with 3,000kg payload capacity and their new AI initiatives that allow voice command operations. KUKA China's market share has climbed to 8.2%, with their mobile robotics division now generating over 50% of revenue from overseas markets. Most impressive is their impact on Midea's manufacturing transformation - achieving 640 robots per 10,000 workers and securing their 6th World Economic Forum "Lighthouse Factory" designation in January 2025. As industries race toward automation, KUKA's breakthroughs demonstrate how human-machine collaboration can drive remarkable efficiency and precision in modern manufacturing.
