About UFACTORY

UFACTORY is a Shenzhen-based builder of lightweight collaborative robot arms whose stated mission is to make professional automation affordable to companies of every size. It began in 2014 with the uArm, a desktop robotic arm launched on Kickstarter, and built a global community of makers and educators through the uArm Swift crowdfunding campaign. Its current line-up is aimed at commercial and research work: the xArm series of six-axis collaborative robots for light industrial applications, and the compact Lite 6 arm for robotics researchers and engineering teams. Two things distinguish the company in a crowded cobot market. First, it is one of the few collaborative-robot brands that publishes its product pricing openly, positioning its arms well below established competitors.

Second, it supports an open developer ecosystem with open-source SDKs in Python, ROS and C++, which has made its hardware a common platform in university labs and AI research. The official site says its product quality has been validated by tens of thousands of customers over more than a decade, and the company keeps a sales office in New York alongside its Shenzhen headquarters. In 2025, NYSE-listed Cheetah Mobile agreed to take control of the company through its subsidiaries.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.
