1. Try three small interactions
Start after one successful conversation. Keep the robot on a clear, level surface, with its moving parts unobstructed. Say “Hey Kira”, wait for listening, then try one request at a time.
| Try saying | What to look for |
|---|---|
| “Turn your head left.” | Head turns while the body stays balanced. |
| “Center your head.” | Head returns to center. |
| “Move forward a little.” | A small controlled displacement; stay ready to support it. |
These are natural-language examples, not fixed command strings. The selected agent and installed firmware must expose the corresponding tools. Wait for each short action to finish before asking for another. If motion is abnormal, use the power switch rather than relying on a cloud voice command to stop it. Support Hover before switching off.
2. Make the conversation yours
- Open the international RIG dashboard and sign in with the account used to bind your robot.
- Select your device in the device list. If it is missing, finish binding in the RIG app before changing agent settings.
- Open the device's agent settings. Select an available agent, or edit its role description. Save the configuration and apply the agent to this device.
- Select the conversation language in the audio settings and save. Available voices and features depend on the international service.
- Restart only if the interface asks you to, then start a new conversation to check the change. Changing an agent's name does not change the local wake word.

3. Learn the everyday controls
Support the body before turning off the power switch, restarting or moving it to another surface. After shutdown, place it in a stable support so it cannot roll away. A BOOT long press of at least 3 seconds followed by release resets settings; use the power switch for ordinary shutdown.
Optional: Bluetooth remote control
Bluetooth pairing for Wi-Fi setup is separate from remote control. Use remote control only if your installed firmware and international app expose it. Enable the mode, confirm the device's remote indication and connect to the matching robot in the app. Try a small movement before a longer one. Voice or MCP may be suspended in this mode; exit through the available app/device control before returning to conversation. Do not assume a voice command will remain available to exit it.
4. Finish your session
Support the body, switch off and place it in a stable stand or resting position. Check for loose fasteners and trapped cables after assembly changes. Use the supplied charging arrangement; for long storage, the assembly guides recommend roughly half charge. Recheck calibration after repositioning motion components.
Fix a problem here
| What you see | What to do here |
|---|---|
| Robot does not appear in discovery | Keep it near the phone, check Bluetooth permissions and the provisioning screen, and disconnect another phone that may already be connected. |
| Wi-Fi connection fails | Check the exact network name and password, use 2.4 GHz and move closer to the router. Retry pairing before considering a reset. |
| Online, but no conversation | Complete activation, select and apply an agent to this device, and check its conversation language. Wait for listening before speaking. |
| No response to the wake word | Use Hey Kira for the reviewed international firmware; check that the robot is awake and not in calibration or remote-control mode. |
| Restarts when movement begins | Stop testing, charge the battery and inspect power connections with power disconnected. Repeated resets under load need investigation before another movement. |
| Screen stays dark | Check power and sleep state first; a never-flashed kit may need firmware. With power disconnected, inspect the display cable against this model's diagram. |
| Falls or wheels accelerate unexpectedly | Support the body, switch off, then check wheel orientation, connections and obstructions. Repeat upright initialization; do not start by changing balance gains. |
You can stop here and enjoy your robot. The next stage is optional development; it is not required for daily use.
