Autonomous mobile robot from igus promises simple configuration with flexible structures and easy commissioning

Cologne, October 23, 2025 – Cost and efficiency pressures place a lot of demands on modern production. With the ReBeLMove Pro, igus is bringing a modular autonomous mobile robot (AMR) onto the market that can be easily customized according to the modular principle – from KLT transport to a robot solution. It can be integrated into company processes without any prior experience. The ReBeLMove Pro is available from just 39,800 euros and is therefore around 25 percent cheaper than most competing models.

The basis of the ReBeLMove Pro is a compact, rectangular transport robot on four wheels with an electric drive. The AMR is 795 mm long, 560 mm wide, 195 mm high, weighs 60 kg and is painted in black with typical igus orange accents. The robot can navigate autonomously at a speed of up to 2 m/s, carrying up to 250 kg or pulling up to 900 kg in intralogistics. One battery charge is enough for a full eight-hour working day. The ReBeLMove Pro can be customized with attachments for various intralogistics tasks. These could be, for example, height-adjustable conveyor belts and a Cobot articulated arm robot for assembly workstations, a trailer for material transport or a shelf with light signals for more productive order picking. The new robot can also be used outdoors. “igus itself already uses the ReBeLMove Pro as a shuttle to transport products from injection molding machines during production,” says Sebastian Thorwarth-Kienbaum, expert for low-cost automation at igus. “These are tiring, routine intralogistical activities that companies find it difficult to get people excited about.” Within just two months, for example, production at igus fully automated container transport including interface integration from conception to implementation. Ball bearing components are transported from the injection molding machine to the fully automatic assembly machine, without any manual intervention.

Return on investment after just 12 months
But companies not only save when purchasing the AMR, but also when it comes to commissioning and control. “Here, system integrators and software licenses often cause high follow-up costs, which lead to companies putting the topic of automation on hold in frustration,” says Sebastian Thorwarth-Kienbaum. “We therefore attached great importance to the fact that the ReBeLMove Pro can be integrated and operated without any outside help or automation experience.” During a simple tour, the robot automatically creates a 3D digital map of the room. To do this, he uses LIDAR sensors, 3D sensors and a Realsense camera. A 200 square meter room can be mapped in just under three minutes. The robot can then move autonomously without the need for complex guidelines or tracks on the floor. Programming is also quick and intuitive: users can create movements with software in just 15 minutes and without any programming knowledge. Integration into existing IT landscapes with open interfaces such as IoT, VDA 5050, REST, SAP or ERP is just as straightforward. In addition, the ReBeLMove Pro is compatible with external fleet management solutions such as Fleetexecuter, Kinexon or Naise. “Thanks to the low investment costs and the uncomplicated commissioning and operation, the average return on investment for a ReBeLMove Pro is twelve months. The costs for the ReBeLMove Pro are just 38,900 euros and are therefore around 25 percent lower than standard market solutions, which usually start at 50,000 euros – without having to make any functional compromises,” summarizes Sebastian Thorwarth-Kienbaum.
