KUKA System Software (KSS) is the lynchpin of the entire control system for most KUKA industrial robots – including traditional 6 axis robots and SCARA robots. As an operating system, it contains all the key features required to run a robot system. These include, for example, data and user management, path planning and I/O management. Advanced functions for programming have also been integrated: Use the associated KUKA.WorkVisual engineering suite as a universal programming environment, for cell configuration or as a shop floor unit to cover every aspect of a program’s life cycle.

KUKA’s next generation cobots, such as LBR iisy*, run on the new iiQKA.OS system software. Other mechanics will be onboarded to iiQKA.OS during a scaling and growth phase.
