Finish a session

  1. Use the normal stop control in each workspace to stop active replay, tracking, teleoperation, recording, or policy execution.
  2. Place the follower in a safe pose and support it.
  3. Turn off header Servo torque and check that the follower actually relaxes. If you used a leader, check that it is also relaxed.
  4. Close the app. If a shutdown safety message appears, wait for cleanup to finish.
  5. Switch off motor power, then disconnect USB.

Do not force-close the app if torque release cannot be confirmed. Do not approach the robot. Cut physical power, then record the on-screen recovery instructions and errors.

Inspect the equipment

When What to inspect
Before every use Base boards, assembly screws, cables, connectors, and motion paths
After every use Heat, noise, smell, scratches, collision marks, and on-screen errors
Weekly Joint play, base-board assembly screws, cable insulation, and camera mounting
After collision or repair Stop use, inspect mechanical and electrical condition, and assess the need for new calibration

Clean the equipment

Disconnect both power and USB, then wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not apply liquid or compressed air directly into connectors or joint gaps.
