If you’re evaluating FAIRINO cobots for your next automation project, this programming guide is for you. We explore what you need to know to get the most from this fast-growing collaborative robotics company focused on intelligent, accessible automation.
From lightweight cobots to high-payload models, FAIRINO aims to lower the threshold for robotic deployment. The company focuses on modularity, quick deployment, and safe human-robot collaboration.
In this guide, you’ll learn the essentials you need to know about FAIRINO robots, whether they suit your industry, and how you can program them most efficiently.
The FAIRINO Story: Supply Chain Innovation Meets Collaborative Robotics
Based in the city of Suzhou in Jiangsu, China, FAIRINO operates globally, with a European presence in France. The company was founded in 2019 as a specialist collaborative robotics company focused on supply chain innovation.
From the beginning, a core differentiator has been the company’s strong focus on independent research and development. FAIRINO has prioritized full-stack capability, developing core components in-house while developing deeply integrated intelligent solutions.
The company’s philosophy centers on lowering the threshold for automation. By combining robotics with AI, sensing, and modular system design, FAIRINO creates solutions that are inherently safe and easy to deploy. Its Robot+ strategy aims to grow the practicality of cobots by applying multi-scenario systems to new industries and applications, including wellness and tea production.
Industries Powering Growth with FAIRINO Robotics
FAIRINO collaborative robots are used in many sectors, but the company has 4 core industries for which it offers dedicated solutions:
- Automotive Manufacturing — With applications including component welding and primer spraying, automotive manufacturers can save energy and reduce costs through flexible cobot systems.
- 3C (Computers, Communication, Consumer Electronics) — FAIRINO is helping 3C manufacturers to shift from large-volume production into more customized small-batch operations. Applications include palletizing, screw fastening, and deburring.
- Food & Beverage — With the aim of optimizing manual labor, the company highlights a range of unique robotic applications including ice cream production, coffee production, and even noodle cooking.
- Healthcare & Wellness — An extra focus on safety allows FAIRINO to target healthcare applications that would have been impossible in the past, including cobot-assisted physical therapy, medical waste picking, and disinfection.
As well as these specific areas, FAIRINO robots are also applied to other foundational robotic applications including welding and pick and place.
Dedicated Application Ecosystems from FAIRINO
As well as basic robotic manipulators, the company also has some complete solutions for specific applications.
Here are a few examples from their catalog:
Fast-switch Palletizing Solutions
FAIRINO offers a range of palletizing solutions to suit different needs. These have a fast switching feature, allowing you to move between different palletizing operations in under 10 minutes.
Spark Project Education Platform
Aimed at university students, the company’s Spark project provides a platform for educational robotics. The solution includes a variety of robotic components, including vision sensing, end effectors, and torque sensing.
Moxibustion Cobot
One of FAIRINO’s most distinctive robotic applications is physical therapy through the traditional Chinese medicine therapy of moxibustion. This therapy involves burning dried mugwort on specific points of the body, which can lead to smoke pollution for therapists over time.
The company’s innovative Moxibustion Solution offers a fume-free design that supports 5 distinct moxibustion techniques.
Spotlight on 3 FAIRINO Models in the RoboDK Library
The RoboDK Robot Library includes several FAIRINO models you can access instantly and start programming offline.
Three of these models are:
1. FAIRINO FR3MT
The FR3MT is a lightweight 6-axis collaborative robot suitable for small precision tasks. It has a payload capacity of 3 kg and a reach of 622 mm.
FAIRINO offers several variants, including the low-power WMS and longer-reach WML, designed for welding. Depending on the variant, the repeatability is between 0.02 and 0.05 mm.
Download the FR3MT model from our Robot Library.
2. FAIRINO FR16
The larger FR16 balances higher payload capacity with a medium size. It supports loads up to 16 kg with a reach of 1034 mm and repeatability of 0.03 mm.
This model is particularly suited to applications of material handling, welding, and inspection.

Programming FAIRINO Robots with RoboDK
In order to get the most from your FAIRINO robot, it’s important to choose the right programming workflow.
You have a few options for programming:
- Brand Programming: Lua — FAIRINO robots support the Lua language, a lightweight scripting language often used in embedded systems and game development. Lua is fast and simple to use, though it’s not the most common in robotics, but the company also supports other languages like Python and Java through an SDK.
- Graphical Teach Pendant Programming — Graphical programming is accessed through an optional teach pendant or PC interface. Like other robot brands, this offers simple online programming through a touchscreen interface.
- RoboDK Offline Programming: — With RoboDK, you have access to a powerful, feature-rich robot programming system that provides an easy way to program FAIRINO robots offline. This significantly improves your programming workflow with support for multiple FAIRINO models, leading CAD/CAM software tools, and advanced functionality through the RoboDK API.
Why Choose FAIRINO for Your Next Automation Project?
If you are evaluating FAIRINO robots for your next automation project, the company’s range of collaborative robots is certainly worth considering.
You can even try out the robot in your application before choosing, by testing it in a RoboDK simulation. This can help you find the best robot model for your needs.
