PEPPER - Factory Reset (NaoQi 2.9 Android Version)

What is it?

A Factory Reset operation resets the Robot to its factory settings:

• It removes the User data and the system partition that are on the Robot.
• It re-installs a NAOqi OS on the Robot.
• It erases the User data on the Tablet and re-installs Android OS on the Tablet.

To avoid the Factory Reset process being interrupted, keep the Robot charging while performing the Factory Reset.
