Troubleshooting¶
Motion and stability¶
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| The robot drifts sideways when walking straight | A small offset. This usually clears without calibration | First: apply drift compensation from the remote — R1 + arrows inside Main Operation Control (R1+X / R1+Y). If that fails: run full body calibration |
| After calibration the robot does not stand up by itself and has to be helped by hand | The calibration did not complete correctly — not every joint reached its stop | Repeat the calibration, driving every joint to its mechanical stop |
Flashing red in the application, Communication, joint over limit |
A joint is outside its permitted range. During calibration this means a brace was left on, most often on the foot | Free and level the feet, then repeat the calibration from the start |
| The torso does not move and dances do not run | The torso brace is fitted, or the robot was not rebooted after removing it | Remove the brace, then power the robot off and on |
| The robot fell while being handled by hand | Lock Stand was not run before the physical intervention | Press L2+↑ before touching the robot |
| The robot does not balance after Lock Stand | Ready mode holds the pose without active balancing. This is normal behaviour | Move to a working mode immediately (R2+A / R1+Y) and provide support |
| The robot fell when started from lying | Starting from lying or squatting is allowed only on a flat, hard floor, and is prohibited with dexterous hands fitted | Move to a flat, hard floor, or lift the robot manually from the gantry |
Power and shutdown¶
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| The robot powered off by itself with no input | Automatic power-off after 10 minutes of remote control inactivity | Normal behaviour. Power it back on |
| The robot fell while being powered off | L2+B was pressed without support, or without holding the combination | Squat the robot (L2+A) or suspend it first, and hold L2+B |
| The robot fell flat during shutdown | It was powered off standing, with no support | Always power off suspended or seated, and in Damping |
| The robot lay down on its own | The battery ran out | Normal behaviour. Pick it up and put it on charge |
Remote control¶
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Buttons do not do what this manual describes | Firmware older than V1.0.4 maps these functions to L1 | Check the version in the application under About. On older firmware: Zero Torque L1+B, Damping L1+A, Lock Stand L1+↑ |
| The remote behaves erratically, the sticks drift | The joystick calibration has drifted, not the robot's | F1+F3 → rotate both sticks fully around several times → F3 to save |
| The remote does not bind | The remote's code has not been entered | Application → Settings → Remote Control Settings → enter the remote's code. The DL indicator lights when the link is established |
Gantry¶
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| The robot thrashes and cannot stand while suspended | It is suspended too high and cannot find the floor | Press L2+B (Damping). If that does not settle it, cut the power |
| The robot does not move on the gantry | The mount is fitted the wrong way round | Refit the mount |
Application and connectivity¶
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Android does not connect to the robot | Priority mode switches the phone to mobile data | Disable automatic switching or mobile data, or use a different phone |
| The application does not connect over AP | The access point name contains special characters or spaces, or the phone is too far away | Rename the access point, move the phone closer, restart the robot and the application |
| Firmware does not update | The robot is in AP mode | Switch to Wi-Fi mode and enable the OTA box |
| The voice assistant does not respond | No Wi-Fi, or the balance has not been topped up | Check Wi-Fi and the account balance (from $15) |
| The wrong map in Navigation | A map from another robot, for example a Go2, is open | Check which robot the map belongs to and recreate it if necessary |
| The robot stopped along the route | An obstacle was detected: There are obstacles in your way |
Normal behaviour. Clear the obstacle. The robot stops rather than routing around it |
Development¶
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| The SDK does not see the robot | The devices are not on the same local network. There is no DHCP on the robot's network | Confirm the laptop has a static address in 192.168.123.200–.250 with mask 255.255.255.0, and that 192.168.123.164 responds to ping |
| The Jetson has no internet over Wi-Fi | A static IP is set on the Wi-Fi hotspot | Switch to Ethernet for development |
| The robot feels tense in Zero Torque and jitters under SDK control | The built-in motion control program always runs and sends speed-0 commands, which conflict with yours | Enter Develop mode — L2+R2 while suspended and in Damping |
