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.

Before Your
First Session.

• The packing list has been verified — robot, battery, charging dock, power adapter, remote controller (Pro & Edu), and toolkit.
• FX Aegis is placed on a flat, hard, open surface.
• The area is clear of people, pets, obstacles, cables, and fragile objects.
• The battery is charged and ready to install.
• The remote controller is powered and within reach (Pro & Edu).
• You know the emergency-stop command — LB + RB.
• You have read the Safety section.

Setting Up
FX Aegis.

Powering On

1. Remove FX Aegis from its packaging and place it on a flat, hard surface with the limbs clear of obstructions.
2. Insert the battery into the battery compartment until it seats securely.
3. Press the power button once, then press and hold it for at least 5 seconds.
4. The head indicator flashes blue while booting. When it turns solid blue and stops flashing, FX Aegis is powered on and ready.

Powering Off

1. Bring FX Aegis into a lying-down posture.
2. Press the power button once, then press and hold for at least 5 seconds.
3. When all LEDs on the battery turn off, the robot has shut down.

Charging the
Battery.

1. Insert the charging cable plug into the port on the bottom of the charging dock.
2. After confirming the connection is secure, plug the power adapter into a wall socket.
3. Place the battery into the charging dock — charging begins automatically.

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.

1. Insert the battery into the robot's battery compartment.
2. Press the battery power button once, then press and hold for 5 seconds and release.
3. Wait about 20 seconds for startup to complete. The battery indicator then shows the robot's remaining charge.
4. Make sure the controller's mode switch is set to the "X" position.
5. 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.

Important
Safety Info.

FX Aegis is a full-size quadruped robot containing high-torque motors, twelve powered joints, drive mechanisms, a lithium-ion battery, wireless connectivity, and electronic control systems. Aegis weighs approximately 15 kg and can travel at speeds up to 3.7 m/s. Always remain attentive during operation to prevent equipment damage, property damage, or personal injury caused by unintended actions.

Operating Environment

FX Aegis is rated IP32 and is designed for indoor use on flat, hard, dry, open surfaces. Do not operate in the following environments:

• Outdoor environments exposed to rain, snow, mist, spray, or standing water
• Wet, oily, slippery, or thick-carpeted surfaces
• Tabletops, step edges, stairwells beyond the rated 16 cm step height, ramps steeper than 30°, or grating with gaps
• Roadways, driveways, parking lots, or any area with vehicle traffic
• Crowded spaces, confined areas, or areas containing fragile objects
• Near infants, small children, pets, or individuals who cannot move out of the way quickly
• High-temperature, humid, dusty, or high-vibration environments
• Areas containing flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials

Maintain a minimum clearance of 2 meters (6.5 ft) around the robot during locomotion. Confirm the floor surface can support the robot's weight (15 kg) plus any payload (up to 8 kg).

Moving Parts Safety

FX Aegis has 12 powered joints with maximum joint torque of 48 N·m. Its legs and body may present pinching, impact, crush, or tip-over hazards during operation.

• Confirm adequate clearance around the robot before powering on.
• Keep fingers, hair, loose clothing, cables, and other objects clear of joints, feet, and moving parts at all times.
• Do not move, pull, block, straddle, or forcibly reposition the robot while it is executing a motion.
• Wait for the current motion to complete before triggering the next one.
• Before triggering high-dynamic motions such as jumps or high-speed locomotion, confirm the surrounding area is fully clear of people, pets, and obstacles.
• If the robot exhibits abnormal movement, loses balance, becomes stuck, makes unusual sounds, or overheats, stop operation immediately.

Adult Operation and Supervision

FX Aegis is not a toy. It is intended for use by adults 18 years of age and older. Minors may only operate the robot under continuous direct supervision of an adult who has read and understood this manual.

• Only operators familiar with the safety instructions in this document should control the robot.
• Do not allow bystanders — especially children and pets — to be within the robot's motion range during operation.
• In shared spaces, exhibitions, or demonstrations, designate a responsible operator and clearly communicate the emergency stop procedure to all attendees.
• Servicing, disassembly, or hardware modification should be performed only by qualified personnel.

Emergency Stop and Incident Response

FX Aegis is equipped with an emergency stop button on the robot body. When used with a compatible remote controller or App, additional emergency stop controls are available. Before operating the robot, ensure that all operators know the location and function of each emergency stop control.

Stop the robot immediately if any of the following occurs:

• The robot approaches a person, pet, step edge, body of water, or other hazardous area
• The robot moves abnormally, loses balance, or is about to fall
• The robot becomes caught on an object
• The controller or App becomes unresponsive
• Unusual sounds, odors, or vibrations are detected
• The device overheats, emits smoke, sustains visible damage, or exhibits battery abnormalities

After activating the emergency stop or halting operation, wait for the robot to come to a complete stop and disengage its motors before approaching. Before resuming use, confirm the robot's condition, surface environment, battery level, and connection status are all normal.

Battery and Charging Safety

FX Aegis contains a high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack (216 Wh, nominal 43.2 V). Improper use may result in fire, explosion, or serious injury.

• Use only Faraday Future original charging equipment and accessories, or accessories approved in writing by Faraday Future.
• Do not use batteries, cables, chargers, or connectors that are damaged, deformed, overheated, or have been exposed to liquid.
• Do not charge the robot while it is operating.
• Charge the robot in a dry, well-ventilated area between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F–104 °F), away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave the robot charging unattended for extended periods.
• Do not disassemble, puncture, crush, short-circuit, heat, incinerate, or immerse the battery.
• If the battery swells, leaks, emits odors, generates abnormal heat, or fails to charge normally, stop use immediately, isolate the device in a non-flammable location, and contact Faraday Future support.

Accessories and Payloads

• Attach only accessories intended for FX Aegis. Do not exceed the rated payload capacity of 8 kg.
• Secure all payloads to the robot before powering on; unsecured items may fall during motion and cause injury or damage.
• Keep small components such as screws and mounting hardware away from children.
