FX Aegis Ultra
Quick Start Guide
Welcome
FX Aegis Ultra is a professional, embodied-AI quadruped robot built for security and companionship — a 12-degree-of-freedom, full-body articulated platform with an open SDK for motion control and secondary development. This guide walks you through your first power-on and charge, remote controller pairing, status indicators, and everyday care.
FX Aegis Ultra is not a toy and must not be operated by children or unsupervised users. Operate only on a flat, hard, open surface with at least 1 meter of clearance, free of people, pets, and obstacles.

Charging
FX Aegis Ultra uses a replaceable battery with hot-swap capability. A full charge takes about 1 hour, measured at a standard ambient temperature of 25°C. Track charge progress on the battery's four LED segments using the reference tables below.
| SOC | LED 1 | LED 2 | LED 3 | LED 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–14% | Flashing | Off | Off | Off |
| 15–24% | On | Off | Off | Off |
| 25–49% | On | On | Off | Off |
| 50–74% | On | On | On | Off |
| 75–100% | On | On | On | On |
| SOC | LED 1 | LED 2 | LED 3 | LED 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–24% | Flashing | Off | Off | Off |
| 25–49% | On | Flashing | Off | Off |

| 75–99% | On | On | On | Flashing |
| 100% | On | On | On | On |
Power adapter: light off = no power · light on = connected to mains power (100V–240V).
Battery charging time should not exceed 24 hours — overcharging may reduce battery lifespan. Use only the official power adapter, and unplug immediately if the battery emits an unusual odor, smokes, deforms, or shows other abnormalities while charging.
Remote Controller
FX Aegis Ultra pairs with its dedicated Smart Robot Controller over Wi-Fi. Pair it before your first drive.
| Function | Controller |
|---|---|
| Stand | Controller touchscreen |
| Stand Damping (slowly lie down) | Controller touchscreen |
| Lie Down / Emergency Stop | L1 + R1 or Controller touchscreen |
| Forward / Backward / Left / Right | Push left joystick |
| Pitch adjustment | Push right joystick forward / backward (Stay Mode) |
| Horizontal turn | Push right joystick left / right |
| Left / Right head tilt | Y / A (Stay Mode) |
| High / Low posture | X / B (Stay Mode) |
| Special actions | Turbo Mode |
Turbo Mode: enhanced performance and additional special actions for research and demonstrations.
Special actions in Turbo Mode place heavy load on the joint modules. Use them cautiously and limit duration to protect the robot's lifespan.
Status Indicators
FX Aegis Ultra communicates its status through its head and tail lighting. Use this reference to read what your robot is doing at a glance.
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Solid blue | Boot complete, powered on and ready |
| Flashing blue | Rebooting / starting up |
| Solid white | Turbo Mode enabled — enhanced movement and special skills unlocked |
| Solid green | Tracking Mode active |
| Solid yellow | Battery critically low — high-performance actions unavailable |
| Flashing yellow | Battery below 5% — charge immediately |
| Solid red | Joint temperature too high — let the robot cool down |
| Flashing red | System error — contact after-sales support |

Safety Notes
Battery & Charging
Risk of explosion exists if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Improper disposal, mechanical crushing, cutting, high-temperature exposure, or extremely low air pressure may cause explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Transportation & Storage
The packing box measures 80 × 45 × 25 cm. Remove the battery from the robot before carrying the box, and keep the front of the box facing up during transport.
Store the power adapter and the entire unit in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight, fire sources, and strong electromagnetic fields. Recommended storage temperature is 20–25°C; never exceed 60°C or go below −10°C. For long-term storage, keep relative humidity between 0–60% RH and total battery charge below 50%.
Long idle time may affect battery performance — avoid deep discharge. The battery stops charging automatically once full, but it's recommended to disconnect it afterward. Check the charge level regularly and cycle it every 3 months; if charge is below 20%, recharge to 40–60% before storage.
After startup, avoid lifting or carrying this product — turn the robot off before carrying it, and handle all parts gently to avoid mechanical impact and damage.
