Overview
UFACTORY's entry-level arm, a small brushless-motor 6-axis arm with an integrated controller that uses the same software stack as the xArm line. With a 600 g payload and ±0.5 mm repeatability it is a step up from hobby servo arms rather than a true cobot, but its price and open API make it popular for classroom and desktop AI experiments.
