Kuka makes great industrial robots. They are pretty much the goto guys for car manufacturing robots from VW, BMW to Tesla. I do see how Midea would benefit from this deal as there are no competitive chinese robot makers, yet. However, in the long run Kuka's company culture and roots in Augsburg, Germany will not survive this deal (my impression). They are a 'small' specialized company in the huge industrial manufacturing market, a deal like this had to happen at some point.
