Getting started
This page is for users with a working, assembled robot. Start with power and networking; source downloads and reflashing are not prerequisites. To build your own robot, follow the DIY build guide.
1. Power on and install a client
Use stable power and a safe, level surface. Find phone and desktop downloads in the device guide, choosing the installer for your system.
2. Configure Wi-Fi with a QR code
First boot without saved credentials opens provisioning automatically. Alternatively open Settings → Wi-Fi. In the phone app, select Scan QR code, scan the robot, choose Wi-Fi, and enter the password. Wait for app success and Connected/IP on the robot.
See the illustrated Wi-Fi guide. The phone needs Bluetooth and camera permissions; computer Bluetooth is not required. Do not repeatedly use Disconnect on a working network: it clears saved Wi-Fi.
3. Choose a connection
| Goal | Robot mode | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Computer client | Desktop Link | Same LAN; enter the six-digit robot code when prompted |
| Phone control | Phone Control | Tap Add Device in the app and match the Device ID |
| Develop an application | Desktop Link | Follow the SDK quick start to pair and run an Application |
Pairing does not mean an application is running. See Client and device for connection states.
4. Verify and continue
Check one expression, light effect, and small movement in a safe area using the first-run check. On a computer, select and start an installed official or custom Application in the client.
- Update firmware: flashing and version management.
- Build applications: capabilities and voice conversations.
- Connection issues: troubleshooting; discuss with the WeChat community.
