Welcome
Welcome to
FX Aegis.
FX Aegis is a professional, embodied-AI quadruped robot designed for security and companionship. This guide walks you through the Aegis Pro and Aegis Edu models — from your first power-on and charge to remote control, status indicators, and everyday care.
Aegis Pro — the professional security & companionship configuration.
Aegis Edu — adds an open SDK, communication protocol, and developer expansion ports for hands-on robotics development.
FX AEGIS IS NOT A TOY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USERS AGED 18 AND OLDER. KEEP ALL COMPONENTS AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND OPERATE ONLY ON A FLAT, OPEN SURFACE CLEAR OF PEOPLE AND OBSTACLES.

Setup
Setting Up
FX Aegis.
Powering On
- Remove FX Aegis from its packaging and place it on a flat, hard surface with the limbs clear of obstructions.
- Insert the battery into the battery compartment until it seats securely.
- Press the power button once, then press and hold it for at least 5 seconds.
- The head indicator flashes blue while booting. When it turns solid blue and stops flashing, FX Aegis is powered on and ready.
Powering Off
- Bring FX Aegis into a lying-down posture.
- Press the power button once, then press and hold for at least 5 seconds.
- When all LEDs on the battery turn off, the robot has shut down.
Charging
Charging the
Battery.
- Insert the charging cable plug into the port on the bottom of the charging dock.
- After confirming the connection is secure, plug the power adapter into a wall socket.
- Place the battery into the charging dock — charging begins automatically.
Always connect the charging dock before the power supply, and never plug or unplug the dock while it is powered. A full charge takes about 1 hour.
Remote Controller
Connecting the
Remote Controller.
The Aegis Pro and Aegis Edu models include a dedicated remote controller. Pair it with FX Aegis before your first drive.
- Insert the battery into the robot's battery compartment.
- Press the battery power button once, then press and hold for 5 seconds and release.
- Wait about 20 seconds for startup to complete. The battery indicator then shows the robot's remaining charge.
- Make sure the controller's mode switch is set to the "X" position.
- Press LB + Y to stand FX Aegis up, then gently push the left stick forward to move. If it doesn't respond, press MODE, then push the left stick forward again.
Basic Controls
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Stand up | LB + Y |
| Damping (slowly crouch down) | LB + X |
| Drop / Emergency stop | LB + RB |
| Move (forward / back / left / right) | Left stick |
| Horizontal turn | Right stick — left / right |
| Pitch adjustment | Right stick — forward / back |
Posture & Modes
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Switch Regular / Laboratory mode | START + BACK |
| In-place / moving switch | START + B |
| Tall / short stature | Y / A |
| Left / right probe | X / B |
Stunts — Laboratory Mode
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Jump up | RB + A |
| Jump forward | RB + X |
| Backward somersault | RB + B |
| Say hello | RB + Y |
| Stand on hind legs | LB + A |
Regular Mode provides stable, standard movement for everyday use. Laboratory Mode unlocks enhanced performance and stunts — but stunt actions place heavy load on the joints, so keep sessions short to protect the robot's lifespan.
Status Indicators
Light
Language.
FX Aegis communicates its status through the head / tail indicator. Use this reference to read what your robot is doing at a glance.
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Solid blue | Powered on and ready |
| Flashing blue | Starting up |

| Flashing yellow | Battery below 5% — charge immediately |
| Solid red | Joint temperature too high — let the robot cool down |
| Flashing red | System error — contact support |
Troubleshooting
Common
Issues.
- Confirm the battery is charged and fully seated in the compartment.
- Press the power button once, then hold it for at least 5 seconds.
- Watch the head indicator — allow time for it to turn from flashing to solid blue.

- Make sure the robot is powered on.
- Confirm no other version of the app is running in the background on the controller.
- If the connection still fails, restart both the robot and the controller, then try to connect again.
- Confirm the controller is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network of the robot.
- Wait about 10 seconds, then try operating the robot again.
