KUKA Launches AI-Assisted Simulation Field Test


Monday 16 March 2026, 10:57:05 AM


KUKA has announced the launch of a new field test phase for its AI-assisted simulation tool, iiQWorks.Copilot. The initiative offers selected users exclusive early access to the company’s innovative AI assistant embedded in iiQWorks.Sim. This development allows engineering professionals to test the cutting-edge tool in real-world workflows, providing essential feedback to enhance its capabilities.

The aim is to transform the traditional manual process of building layouts by enabling users to utilise natural language prompts. This technological advancement allows engineers to generate simulation scenes more efficiently, accelerating the transition from conceptualisation to validation.

Participants in the field test are set to benefit significantly. Not only will they receive a free basic licence to explore the AI-powered simulation, but their input will also play a crucial role in shaping the tool’s development. This collaborative effort will influence future capabilities and licensing models, providing a unique opportunity to contribute to the design of an indispensable tool for planning and simulating robot cells.

Industry professionals who wish to participate in the field test are encouraged to send an enquiry to gain exclusive access to this phase of development.

KUKA, a leading player in industrial automation, continues to drive innovation in manufacturing technology with its focus on leveraging AI to streamline engineering processes.
