MIRO is KUKA's industrial wheeled humanoid, launched at the 26th China International Industry Fair in Shanghai in October 2026, and it is a deliberate argument about what shape a factory robot should be. It stands between 1.39 and 1.85 m with an adjustable height, carries 21 degrees of freedom, lifts up to 20 kg and runs for at least six hours after passing an equivalent 15,000-hour life test, and it moves on a wheeled base rather than legs, which the company presents as the right engineering choice for a plant floor. It is not sold as a standalone machine but as one end of the KAI platform, which KUKA describes as an industrial intelligence hub built on full data, with a digital twin as the carrier and multi-agent systems as the execution units, covering consulting, IT and OT integration and operations optimisation so that sensing, scheduling and decision-making across a plant close into one loop. KUKA announced MIRO and KAI together with a native Chinese release of its Visual Components simulation software, an LBR NEXUS collaborative robot range from 7 to 20 kg and a welding package with plus or minus 0.04 mm repeatability, and framed the whole launch as a shift from selling automation equipment to selling whole-plant intelligence. Its developer community, launched at the same time, already reports 85,000 users across more than 20,000 companies.
