Sirius Project Update – Batch 3 Shipping Timeline🥳

Dear Backers,

We hope this message finds you well. Thank you for your continued support of the Sirius project and for reaching out to us. We sincerely apologize for the slower response time recently and fully recognize the significant investment you've made in this project. Your patience and trust mean everything to us.

📣Batch 3 Shipping Update

After coordinating with our manufacturing partners, we've made the difficult decision to delay Batch 3 shipments to late March, with all units (1,100 total: 200–500–400 split) fully shipped by end of April.

📣Why the delay?

Production complexity: Sirius hardware requires 20–25 days for component machining and assembly.

Holiday impact: Factory operations resumed February 12–March 1 following the Lunar New Year break.

Quality improvement: Based on the feedback from batches 1 and 2, we identified that there were packaging defects and issues with the circuit connections. These problems led to leg damage and poor contact of the goods if they were subjected to violent transportation. We are implementing two improvement measures: enhancing protective packaging and improving more robust circuit connections.

🎁Complimentary Gift Package for Batch 3 Backers

As our sincere apology for this delay, all Batch 3 backers will receive a complimentary gift package (shipping and duties covered by Hengbot)

1. Replacement screws
2. Precision screwdriver
3. Component lubricant oil
4. Sirius anti-slip foot pads (for smooth surfaces/desks to reduce leg slippage)
5. Battery charging dock for extended runtime

For Batch 1 & 2 Backers: We haven't forgotten you! If you're interested in the gift package, we'll offer it at a heavily discounted rate or for shipping cost only. Details will be sent via separate email.

📣Latest Software & Documentation

OTA Repair Update (v260304)

This critical release fixes: OTA failure causing boot issues (backlight functional but device unresponsive). Cross-platform compatibility gaps for x86 and macOS in the OTA toolkit.

1. Faster system boot times
2. Enhanced overall stability
3. Gesture change: swipe-down → swipe-left
4. Reduced AI voice response latency

🕹️App Update Notice

The latest Sirius app is still in development. Your current app version is incompatible with new hardware (different chip architecture). The updated app will launch soon—stay tuned!

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to deliver the best possible Sirius experience.

We usually update the progress of "Sirius" goods and software on Kickstarter and Sirius every week. However, we are worried that these emails might be classified as spam and thus prevent our customers from receiving them. Therefore, we have decided to resend these emails one by one. If you haven't received any emails from Kickstarter at all, please leave us a commonly used email address and we will send the updates separately. We hope this will be helpful to you.

Happy exploring! Warm regards!

Backers Exclusive: Sirius Delivery Update—What’s New & Next！！

We sincerely thank all of our supporters for your continued trust and attention toward Sirius. We remain fully committed to promptly addressing all backer inquiries concerning the delivery progress of the product.🌟

What is the latest update on the delivery status of Sirius?

Following the initial production run and testing phase, we identified certain aspects related to user experience and system reliability that did not meet our expected standards. In order to ensure a superior final product, we have proactively initiated a comprehensive upgrade and iterative refinement process for Sirius, focusing on both software functionality and overall design optimization.

Key improvements include:

A complete redesign of the user interaction flow, along with the integration of new software features to enhance usability and performance.

Significant hardware upgrades across multiple core components of the device.

Color Enhancement🎨
For the Phantom Black and Dark Gray variants, we have reformulated the color pigments and refined the coating application process, resulting in a more distinct metallic finish and improved surface quality.

Head Unit Upgrade🤖
The redesigned head unit now incorporates an internal cable routing system, eliminating visible external wiring.
A new peripheral USB interface has been added, supporting debugging and diagnostic functions.
A facial touchscreen panel and touch-activated wake-up button have been integrated for enhanced interactivity.
The LED lighting layout on the ears has been optimized, with expanded color customization options.

Actuator Upgrade♻️
Our core actuator has undergone a significant iteration. This upgraded version demonstrates substantially improved durability and reliability, as verified through extensive drop testing and stress evaluations. The new design is less susceptible to mechanical failure and ensures more stable long-term performance.

Guided by the high expectations expressed by our global community of backers, the HENGBOT team is dedicated to delivering the most engaging, enjoyable, and powerful version of Sirius. To this end, we have intensified collaboration between our internal R&D and manufacturing teams to accelerate the implementation of these enhancements. However, due to the complexity of coordinating with material suppliers and external partners—particularly in design validation and component testing—additional time is required to ensure all updates meet our quality standards.

Delivery timeline update—your primary concern📦
Due to the necessity of re-verifying key materials, the shipment of the first batch is expected to be delayed by one to two weeks, with dispatch now anticipated from mid to late November. Please note that subsequent batches will not be affected by this adjustment. To mitigate delays and ensure timely fulfillment, we have increased staffing on the production line and are optimizing operational efficiency.

Our commitment❤️
User experience remains our highest priority. A dedicated HENGBOT team is stationed at the manufacturing facility around the clock to oversee quality control and ensure each Sirius unit meets our rigorous standards before delivery. We sincerely appreciate your continued patience and understanding throughout this process.

We kindly ask for your continued support as we finalize the production of what promises to be the best version of Sirius yet—delivered to you very soon.

Just wait a little longer! The best Sirius is on its way!
