At the top left corner, you can see your robot’s name. From this section, you can:

  • Rename the robot: Click the pencil icon to update the name.
  • Add to favorites: Click the star icon to mark the robot as a favorite for quick access.

Quick Actions​

Directly beneath the robot’s name, you’ll find buttons for performing key remote actions:

  1. Reboot
    Reboots the robot’s operating system.

  2. SSH
    Opens a Remote Terminal window in a new tab, enabling you to perform direct system operations on your robot, such as:

    • Running Agent CLI commands (discussed here).
    • Executing ROS commands.
    • Performing other OS-level operations.

  3. Local Access
    Launches a local web server hosted by the robot. You can log in to this server if you are on the same local network.
    This interface provides access to most system features and is especially useful when remote cloud access is unavailable.
