Quick Start

What should you do after receiving K1? This tutorial gets you from unboxing to basic robot operation in 5 minutes.

❗

Read Before Operation

  1. Prepare an open, flat area of at least 2m × 2m for operation.
  2. During motion, make sure there are no people or obstacles within the robot's operating range to avoid injury or collision.
  3. During motion, do not touch any part of the robot with your body except the handle.

Step 1 · Unbox​

Step 2 · Power On​

  1. Install the battery pack: insert the battery into the robot battery slot with the indicator-light side facing up.
  2. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. Release it after the light turns on. Holding it for more than 6 seconds powers the robot off. After power-on, wait about one minute until the robot plays the prompt sound; the robot can then be controlled remotely.Keep the robot still during this waiting period so that the IMU can initialize.

Step 3 · Operate the Robot​

  1. Take out the joystick and power it on.

    • Booster joystick: press and hold the Home button for 5 seconds to power on.

  2. Enter PREP mode: Make sure the robot has enough space to straighten its body, then press L2 + Start to enter PREP mode (LT + Start on an Xbox joystick).

  3. Stand up automatically: Press L2 + UP to stand up automatically (LT + UP on an Xbox joystick).

  4. Omnidirectional walking: After the robot stands up, it automatically enters WALK mode. You can then use the joystick sticks:

    • Use the left stick to control walking direction.
    • Use the right stick to control turning direction.
    • Use the D-pad to control head rotation.
💡

Note: Do not lift the robot in WALK mode. Otherwise, it may fail to detect the ground and kick unpredictably, causing injury.

Step 4 · Power Off​

  1. Use L2 + Start on the joystick (LT + Start on an Xbox joystick) to enter PREP mode, then lay the robot flat on the ground
  2. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to power off. After the robot body becomes limp, it can be stored.
💡
  • After powering off, wait 6 seconds before powering on again.
