Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about this robot

Q1. How to troubleshoot K2 Bumblebee?

Check actuator connections, sensor calibrations, and power supply first. Use the onboard diagnostic tools to identify joint errors or communication faults. Restart the system if needed and consult error logs for specific issues.

Q2. How to set up K2 Bumblebee?

Position the robot on a flat surface, connect to power, and power on. Use the Nebula system interface for initial calibration, sensor checks, and Wi-Fi setup. Follow guided steps for gait calibration and task programming.

Q3. What are K2 Bumblebee's primary use-cases?

Designed for industrial tasks like warehouse handling, assembly, and logistics. It excels in precise manipulation, heavy lifting (up to 30 kg total), and navigating complex environments with human-like gait.

Q4. How to operate K2 Bumblebee?

Operate via the Nebula system using visual programming or natural language commands. The robot autonomously executes tasks with real-time sensor feedback, enabling adaptive movement and manipulation.

Q5. How to maintain K2 Bumblebee?

Regularly inspect actuators and sensors for wear or damage. Keep joints lubricated as per manufacturer guidelines. Update software frequently and clean tactile sensors to maintain precision.

Q6. What safety features does K2 Bumblebee have?

Includes torque control to prevent overload, sensor-based obstacle detection, and emergency stop functions. Its hybrid actuator design ensures stable, controlled movements minimizing risk in industrial settings.

Q7. How does K2 Bumblebee handle different surfaces?

Its hybrid roller screw and rotary actuators enable a disturbance-resistant, straight-knee gait adaptable to uneven terrain like bricks, grass, and plastic surfaces, maintaining balance and stability.

Q8. How to clean K2 Bumblebee?

Use a soft, dry cloth for external surfaces. Clean tactile sensors gently with a damp cloth avoiding moisture ingress. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect sensor integrity and actuator components.

Q9. How does K2 Bumblebee navigate?

Utilizes 3D cameras with 360° coverage, fisheye vision, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and pressure sensors to perceive surroundings and maintain balance while navigating complex environments.

Q10. What are common K2 Bumblebee problems?

Typical issues include sensor calibration drift, actuator wear, communication delays, and occasional gait instability on highly irregular terrain. Most can be resolved via diagnostics and software updates.

Q11. How to reset K2 Bumblebee?

Perform a system reboot through the Nebula interface or power cycle the robot. For factory reset, use the dedicated reset option in the system settings, which restores default calibration and software configurations.

Q12. How to control K2 Bumblebee?

Control is via Kepler’s Nebula system supporting visual programming, voice commands, and natural language processing. Operators can also use remote interfaces for manual override and task sequencing.

Q13. How to connect K2 Bumblebee to Wi-Fi?

Access the Nebula system’s network settings, scan for available Wi-Fi networks, select the desired network, and enter credentials. The robot supports secure WPA2 connections for stable communication.

Q14. What is K2 Bumblebee's warranty?

Typically, Kepler Robotics offers a one-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in hardware and software, with options for extended coverage depending on purchase agreements.

Q15. How to update K2 Bumblebee's software?

Use the Nebula system’s over-the-air update feature to download and install the latest firmware and software patches. Updates improve performance, add features, and fix bugs without interrupting operations.
