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 that automation is within reach for all business sizes. We believe that performance doesn’t have to come at the sacrifice of affordability, and instead have created a product that inherits both.
We break down barriers to automation
01Our work doesn't end at the sale — it starts there
Our relationship with customers goes beyond the purchase with our one-year warranty and a responsible, communicative after-sales support team — because we know that trust is built over time, not just at the point of sale. Our product quality has been validated by tens of thousands of customers across more than a decade. We stand behind every robot we ship.

02We build for an open community
Collaboration and openness are at the heart of how we build. We actively 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. Our community is one of our greatest strengths, and we are committed to growing it together.

03Straight talk, always
Transparency is how we operate. UFACTORY is one of the few collaborative robot brands to publish product pricing. We believe customers deserve clarity from the first interaction.
Straight talk, always
04Our Journey
Robotics for Researchers and Engineers
The Lite 6 is a compact, affordable 6-axis collaborative robot built for robotics researchers and engineering teams. With a 600 g payload, 440 mm reach, and a footprint of just 130 × 140 mm, it fits on a desk with room to spare.
Entering Industrial Applications
UFACTORY released xArm, a 6-axis collaborative robot for commercial and light industrial applications, with a 5 kg payload and 700 mm reach at a price point that challenged the entire industry.
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 increasing community of makers, educators, and engineers helped shape who we are today.
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.
