xArm 7 Pro
UFACTORYThe UFACTORY xArm 7 Pro is a 7-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot arm with a 3.5 kg payload, 700 mm reach, and ±0.1 mm repeatability, priced around $9,899–$11,000 USD depending on configuration and retailer. It is built from aluminium and carbon fiber, weighs approximately 13.7 kg, and supports programming via UFactory Studio, Python, C++, ROS, and ROS2. The arm is designed as a programmable industrial-grade cobot platform for research, automation, and light manufacturing — it does not operate autonomously on its own tasks but instead executes programs or motions directed and programmed by a human operator. One documented use case involves VR teleoperation, where a human remotely performs tasks through the arm, though the platform also supports fully programmed autonomous task execution depending on deployment.

Evidence-graded claims from the UFACTORY deep report
Cheetah Mobile agreed to acquire a 60.8% controlling equity stake in UFACTORY, expected to close Q3 2025, to accelerate robotics commercialization.
The acquisition is confirmed by Cheetah Mobile's own investor relations press release [11], an independent corporate disclosure; however, whether the deal closed on schedule and what operational changes followed remains unverified.

UFACTORY xArm cobots operate autonomously 24/7 once programmed — executing tasks such as pick-and-place, lab automation, and production without a human performing or driving the work during execution.
Autonomy claim is sourced entirely from UFACTORY's own product pages and use-case marketing [1][2][4]; no independent third-party test, customer audit, or journalist verification confirms unattended 24/7 autonomous operation in a real deployment.
from UFACTORY deep report →xArm achieves ±0.1 mm repeatability and speeds up to 1 m/s, positioning it as a precision industrial cobot.
Repeatability and speed specs are stated on UFACTORY's official product pages and commerce listings [2][5][10], but no independent benchmark test or third-party metrology report has verified these figures.
from UFACTORY deep report →UFACTORY offers a VR teleoperation interface enabling remote robot operation for use cases such as logistics, inspection, and maintenance.
The VR teleoperation capability is described on UFACTORY's own use-case page in partnership with Extended Robotics [4], but no independent review, customer deployment report, or third-party test confirms this capability functions as described in real-world conditions.
from UFACTORY deep report →UFACTORY's software ecosystem (UFACTORY Studio, Python/C++ SDK, ROS/ROS2) is free with no hidden fees and receives monthly updates.
The no-fee and monthly-update claims come exclusively from UFACTORY's own product and software pages [9][2]; no independent user review or third-party audit confirms the update cadence or absence of hidden costs, and community discussions do not specifically address software pricing.
