About UFACTORY

Who We Are

UFACTORY is a robotics company founded on a simple but powerful belief: advanced automation should not be a privilege reserved for large corporations. The high cost of collaborative robots has long stood as a barrier for small and mid-size enterprises. We exist to break down that barrier.

Since 2014, we have been designing and delivering affordable, durable, high-performing robotic arms that empower companies and organizations of all sizes.

Our Mission

Robotics for Every Business. Affordability Without Compromise.

We make professional-grade collaborative robots accessible to anyone who needs them — from students and startups to established manufacturers and research labs. Our goal is greater than simply selling robots: we want to enable the people and organizations using them to advance, achieve, and grow more.

Our Values

We break down barriers to automation

We are committed to making robotics accessible — not as a market strategy, but as a founding mission. By delivering high-quality collaborative robots at transparent, competitive prices, we ensure automation is within reach for all business sizes. Performance doesn't have to come at the sacrifice of affordability.

Our work doesn't end at the sale — it starts there

Our relationship with customers goes beyond the purchase, with a one-year warranty and a responsible, communicative after-sales team. Our quality has been validated by tens of thousands of customers over more than a decade. We stand behind every robot we ship.

We build for an open community

Collaboration and openness are at the heart of how we build. We support a global developer ecosystem through open-source SDKs in Python, ROS, and C++, enabling engineers, researchers, and innovators to build, customize, and extend our platforms without limits.

Straight talk, always

Transparency is not just a principle — it is how we operate. UFACTORY is one of the few collaborative robot brands to openly publish product pricing. We believe our customers deserve clarity and honesty from the very first interaction.

Our Journey

2021

Robotics for Researchers and Engineers

The Lite 6 was released as a compact and economical 6-axis collaborative robot designed for research environments and engineering teams. With a 1 kg payload and 440 mm reach, it brings professional-grade performance to every lab bench and workspace it touches.

2018

Entering Industrial Applications

UFACTORY released xArm, a 6-axis collaborative robot engineered for commercial and light industrial use — offering a 5 kg payload and 700 mm reach at a price point that challenged the entire industry.

2017

Growing a Global Community

The uArm Swift launched on Indiegogo, raising over $100,000 and becoming the most popular robot arm campaign of the year. The growing community of makers, educators, and engineers helped shape who we are today.

2014

Where It All Began

UFACTORY introduced uArm — the world's first desktop robotic arm — on Kickstarter, earning the support of 1,263 backers from around the globe. The message was clear: the world needs robots like this.

Our Team

What keeps a team together isn't just a job — it's belief. Many of our engineers, designers, and specialists have been with UFACTORY for years, some since the very beginning. They stay because they genuinely believe in what we are building.

Our long-term commitment is a reflection of what we stand for: meaningful work, shared goals, and the satisfaction of seeing our robots make a real difference in the hands of customers around the world.
