KUKA has won the German Innovation Award for its new iiQKA robot operating system and ecosystem. iiQKA was developed to make the user experience as intuitive, powerful, fast and scalable as possible.

At the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) from May 23-27, KUKA demonstrates how robotics can be used to accomplish unique medical tasks. New technologies such as sensitive robotics are opening up new possibilities, particularly in medicine, for treating patients more gently, more precisely and thus more effectively.

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly changed our daily lives. Diagnostic testing remains critical for containment. So are Ellume's tests. The Australian diagnostics company is expanding its automated production with 144 KUKA robots, which will be used in a total of 27 state-of-the-art assembly lines.

KUKA Sunrise.OS Med 2.6 is the latest software release for the CB certified KUKA LBR Med robot. The new and improved software was developed to meet the growing needs of medical device and system manufacture who utilize the LBR Med in their medical application.

The maximum weight of a flour sack in France dropped from 40 to 25 kilograms. This brought the family mill Moulins Bourgeois to the limit of its delivery capacity. For the same scope of delivery, around twice as many flour sacks had to be packed, transported and loaded. The company therefore turned to automation with KUKA robots.

Robotic technology assists in areas of research, such as advanced robotics, simulations and modelling in Confirm's advanced robotic joining suite.

Many KUKA customers who already successfully use in-line wrist robots from the KR CYBERTECH nano family wanted a system that worked directly with power from a wall outlet. Beginning in April 2022, the new KR CYBERTECH nano generation will run on the KR C5 micro robot controller for small robots.
