This page explains how to connect to your MARS robot via SSH. Default credentials:
  • Username: jetson1
  • Password: goodbot

​
Via Wi-Fi

1

Join the same network

Make sure your computer and MARS are on the same Wi-Fi network (or your phone hotspot).
2

Run SSH with hostname

In your terminal, run ssh jetson1@<robot-name>.local.
3

Authenticate

Enter the password goodbot when prompted.

​
Finding your robot hostname

The hostname is based on your robot name from the app, converted to a valid host:
  • Letters become lowercase
  • Spaces/special characters become hyphens (-)
  • Multiple hyphens are collapsed
  • Leading/trailing hyphens are removed
Examples:
Robot nameHostnameSSH command
My Robotmy-robot.localssh jetson1@my-robot.local
MARS_01mars-01.localssh jetson1@mars-01.local
Test Bottest-bot.localssh jetson1@test-bot.local
If your robot has no custom name yet, use: 
ssh jetson1@mars.local

​
Via Ethernet (preferred wired method)

1

Connect Ethernet cable

Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and MARS.
2

Set static IP on your computer

Configure your Ethernet interface to 192.168.50.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0.
3

SSH to MARS

Run ssh jetson1@192.168.50.2.

​
Static IP setup by OS

1

Open adapter settings

Go to Settings -> Network & Internet -> Advanced network settings -> More network adapter options.
2

Open Ethernet properties

Right-click Ethernet -> Properties.
3

Edit IPv4

Open Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and select manual IP configuration.
4

Set values

IP: 192.168.50.1, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway/DNS: leave empty.
5

Apply

Save and reconnect Ethernet if needed.

​
Via USB-C (last resort)

USB-C is not recommended. Use this only when Wi-Fi and Ethernet are unavailable.
1

Connect USB-C

Connect a USB-C cable between your computer and the Jetson USB-C port on MARS.
2

Use USB network address

The Jetson exposes a USB network interface at 192.168.55.1.
3

SSH to Jetson

Run ssh jetson1@192.168.55.1.
This mode is useful for first-time recovery or network debugging.
