Get Started Using Your Kilo

Quickly get up to speed on the basics of kilo. Learn how to use kilo in Follow and Trips modes, as well as some basics on hardware and safety.

Follow mode

Press the circle button on top of kilo’s pillar to pair with you. Press it again to put it back in standby mode.

Standard Following

Walk away from kilo and it will follow you at your pace (up to 3 mph).

Forward Following

Walk toward kilo and it will move as though you were pushing a cart.

Tip: to switch from following to forward following, turn around and take a small step toward kilo, then resume walking at normal speed. If you move too quickly, kilo may unpair.

 

Trips

Send kilo from one place to another autonomously using a prerecorded Trip via the PFF Pro app.

For more extensive details on recording and playing back Trips, see the Trips Best Practices article.
