7. Now when EMO accidentally walks to the home station, he will not get stuck and walk away.
8. Fixed EMO incorrectly detecting cliffs or obstacles when walking down the home station. (NOT FEELING SAFE or I need a bigger play Response that could happen sometimes).
9. Optimized EMO’s detection of whether he is standing on the home station.
10. EMO says he can’t do it because he is not connected to the home Station when you ask him to return to or go off Home Station. (due to not being correctly paired to Home Station or EMO has lost connection to Home Station).

Bug fixes and optimizations
1. New wake-up mode update Improved speech recognition
EMO can now recognize higher pitch/tone voices from EMO owners. With the Wake Up Training data collection being collected and updated into EMO, he should now be able to understand/hear/wake up when you call his name. (If you are still having issues with Waking up EMO, be sure to submit your voice recording here:
2. Fixed a bug where some EMOs would sometimes wake up every five minutes while sleeping.
3. Adjusted some of EMO’s animations that would behave incorrectly. Including “Pose”, “Sad” and “FlashBack dance”.
4. We will gradually enable automatic updates over a period of time after the update is released in the future. Manual updating will not be affected.
