Asked whether the lab opens UFACTORY Studio in a web browser or with the desktop app, the answer given on 2026-10-23 was the desktop app, and that learners should download it.
Awaiting cell access: this could be confirmed or corrected once the physical S6 cell can be observed.
Reasoning: Verified as a dated report of how Studio is opened in the lab, as of 2026-10-23 and no further. The question was about the lab, where the xArm 6 is operated from Studio (int-089); the answer names no arm. It names no Studio version and no computer, and no inspection is recorded. It says that the lab uses the desktop app and that learners should download it; it says nothing about whether the browser route UFACTORY's Studio manual describes works.

UFACTORY Studio's connection screen, as used with the xArm 850 at S2 and reported on 2026-10-23, has an IP search field for the arm and a Connect Server button: the operator enters the IP address from the control box and clicks Connect Server. No reading of the screen with the xArm 6 is recorded.
Awaiting cell access: this could be confirmed or corrected once the physical S6 cell can be observed.
Why we infer this: Inferred, not observed with the xArm 6. The report (S241, 2026-10-23) is of UFACTORY Studio's connection screen as it was used with the xArm 850 (ops-216), as of that date and no further. The xArm 6 is operated from the same Studio software, whose manual lists the xArm 6 among the models it applies to (iface-502), and the xArm 6's Studio read 2.7.0 on 2026-10-16 (int-610), so its connection screen is inferred to have the same IP search field and Connect Server button; the screen was seen with the 850, and a different Studio version may lay it out differently. No screenshot of the connection screen is recorded, and no inspection is recorded. The same report says the Connect page's 'Open UFACTORY Studio' step 1 is incorrect; it makes no statement about the browser route the Studio manual's connection chapter describes (iface-505).
There is an IP search for the arm and connect button, you enter the IP from the control box and click on the Connect Server button

Project advice
Before motion is enabled on the xArm 6, lab staff confirm that the arm's speed, payload, workspace and safety configuration are the approved ones, and the operator does not change a protected setting. The xArm 6's safety settings are not on record, so the operator stays out of the working area while the arm moves.
This is advice from this project, based on: int-603 Verified safety-607 Gap, awaiting cell access safety-511 Verified
Why: IntelliMake's rules require the approved speed, payload, workspace and safety configuration to be verified before motion is enabled, and forbid modifying protected settings (int-603). None of the xArm 6's safety-related settings is confirmed (safety-607). The xArm manual says nobody should be in the working area while the arm runs (safety-511). The confirmation is lab staff's, because the approved configuration is theirs to state.
The record says
Enabling the arm powers it and turns on its motors, after which it can start to move normally. In UFACTORY Studio the Enable button does this and disappears once the arm is enabled; in the Python SDK the call is motion_enable(true).

Mode 2 is manual mode: the arm enters zero-gravity mode so the user can drag its links to teach, and should be switched back to mode 0 afterwards. Mode 2 must be set via mode 0: from a non-zero mode, a request for mode 2 first switches to mode 0, and mode 2 takes effect only on a second command.

The record says
To clean the xArm's carbon fiber shell, the manual says 95% alcohol or 70% isopropanol can be used, taking care not to let liquid get into the joints. It says a small amount of grease may rarely be seen at the joints and will not affect normal use or joint life.
