Add a Robot

Goal: Register a robot in a fleet and get the install command that connects its agent to Rover Nexus.

Before you begin

  • You need a fleet to add the robot to. See Create a fleet.
  • You need permission to create robots on that fleet (typically Fleet Manager).
  • Have the robot's onboard Linux device ready for the integrator to run the install command.

Steps

  1. In the top navigation, click Fleet.
  2. Click Add Robot. The Add Robot dialog opens.
  3. In Robot Name, enter a name.
  4. (Optional) Set an initial Status (for example, Ready or Maintenance).
  5. Under Fleet, select the fleet this robot belongs to.
  6. Under Billing Organization, select the organization responsible for the robot. Only organizations where you're an admin or owner appear.
  7. (Optional) Fill in Vehicle Make, Vehicle Model, and Link.
  8. Click Add Robot.
  9. A confirmation appears with the Robot Bootstrap Command. Copy it now — it's required to install and authenticate the robot agent, and it won't be shown again.
  10. Send the command to whoever sets up the robot's onboard device. They run it once on the robot's Linux terminal — it installs the agent, sets up mutual TLS, and enrolls the robot automatically.
