## What is RobotControl?

RobotControl is a remote control and companion app for Vector robots running Escape Pod firmware with wire-pod.

The app talks to your robot directly over your local network. No cloud account is needed.

DRIVE
• Two-stick driving with a live camera view
• Head and lift control, quick actions and docking
• Landscape control screen, and side-by-side layouts on wide screens

PLAY
• Animations, dances, tricks and commands
• Things to try: one-tap ideas for what Vector can do
• Cube: lights, pick up, roll and dock
• Timers

YOUR ROBOT
• Faces: see and manage the people Vector knows
• Photos: take photos with Vector's camera and save the ones he took
• Settings: eye colour, volume, location, time zone and units
• Stats: lifetime distance and activity

SET UP
• Find robots on your network
• Bluetooth setup: join Wi-Fi, re-authorise and update a robot
• Serve from this phone: your iPhone can act as Vector's voice server at home or on its Personal Hotspot outdoors, in English or Korean

TALK
• Type a message and Vector speaks the reply, through your own relay or your own Anthropic API key

Requirements
• A Vector robot on Escape Pod firmware (2.0.1 ep) paired with wire-pod, or set up from this app
• The iPhone and the robot on the same network

RobotControl is an independent app. It is not made, endorsed or supported by Digital Dream Labs or Anki. Vector is a trademark of its respective owner.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-11

Easier wire-pod connections:
- If the wire-pod address doesn't answer, the app now searches your Wi-Fi for wire-pod and fills in the address it finds.
- When no server can be reached, the app explains what to check (address, same Wi-Fi, Local Network access) with a shortcut to Settings.
- Robots that were set up outside your current wire-pod now connect: the app reads the robot's certificate directly when wire-pod has none saved.
- Unreachable addresses fail after 5 seconds instead of spinning.
- The voice relay is only used when you set its address.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-08

• Use this phone as the server: set up and run Vector without a computer. Turn it on from the first screen, then connect Vector over Bluetooth.
• iPhone Duo: half-fold the phone to see the camera on the top screen and the controls on the bottom.
• The drive and head/lift sticks are now always visible, with a hint on how to use each.
• The server line shows the address of the device serving Vector.
• The phone server stays up through brief trips to the background, and takes over when another server stops.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-11-02

No release notes.
