2. Connect to Hotspot & Check Web UI#

There are several ways to connect to the robot. The simplest method is to use the hotspot function to join the robot’s network and access the Web UI for initial setup. Through the Web UI, you can also check the robot’s basic status, power it on, and move it into the zero pose

2.1. Steps#

  1. Turn on the RPC power.

  2. Once the RPC is power on, press the HOTSPOT button on top of the backpack.

    • If the button is already active, release it and press again.

  3. On your laptop, join the robot’s hotspot SSID (e.g., RBY1).

    • Default password: RBY1@@@@.

    Connecting via QR Code

    1. Press the HOTSPOT button on the top of the robot’s backpack to activate the hotspot.

    3. The hotspot will remain active only while the HOTSPOT button is pressed.

  4. Open the Web UI in a browser: http://192.168.12.1:5173. The dashboard shows the robot’s current status (power, joint angles, etc.).
