About KC Robots
KC Robots supplies the embedded control stack used by manufacturers building AGVs, AMRs and autonomous industrial vehicles. Its MRC5000 controller combines navigation, motion control and vehicle interfaces in one unit, while the MIS series integrates a servo motor, drive electronics and communications into a compact module. Safety controllers, LiDAR and other sensors complete the hardware layer needed to move and supervise a mobile platform.
Robot Design provides the engineering environment above those components. It uses IEC 61131-3-style graphical blocks and configuration tools so developers can define vehicle geometry, navigation behaviour, I/O and task logic without writing every subsystem from scratch. CANopen, serial and other interfaces connect the controller to steering, lifting and peripheral equipment, while remote diagnostics support commissioned fleets. KC Robots therefore sells a reusable development stack to forklift, AMR and outdoor-vehicle makers rather than a finished vehicle under one chassis brand.
