You need three things: a Unitree G1 / Go2 with its standard Jetson Orin
onboard computer, internet access on the robot, and your Kovio fleet key
(kov_live_…, issued by Kovio).
Your fleet key is a secret. Don’t share it or commit it anywhere. It can be
revoked at any time.
Install
Confirm the robot has internet
curl https://kovio-api.fly.dev/healthz
{"status":"ok",...} response. The robot’s
internal 192.168.123.x bus is not internet — make sure its Wi‑Fi / 4G‑5G
uplink is connected.Run the installer with your fleet key
curl -fsSL https://dist.kovio.dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- <YOUR_FLEET_KEY>
Watch it come online
Within seconds the robot registers on your Kovio dashboard, and within
about a minute its first verified moments appear. See
Instant dashboard updates. That’s it
No source code is placed on the robot, and there are no build steps — the
installer fetches a signed, prebuilt artifact matched to your robot’s runtime.
Default mode is sim (synthetic traffic) so you can confirm the whole path
works immediately. Switch to live camera/LiDAR with hardware mode. If something goes wrong
A bad or revoked key, no internet, or an unsupported runtime will install
nothing and print a clear message. See Troubleshooting.
