When jogging the robot in World -Y, in which direction will the TCP move?

• A. Forward
• B. To the robot's left
• C. To the robot's right
• D. Backward

Answer: (B)

When jogging the robot in World -Y, the end effector or Tool Center Point (TCP) will move in the direction opposite to the positive Y-axis in the robot's world coordinate system. This means that if the positive Y-axis is defined as moving forward (away from the user or along the front of the robot), moving in the direction of World -Y will shift the TCP to the left side of the robot as seen from the operator's perspective. Understanding the world coordinate system is essential, as it dictates how movements are interpreted based on the robot's defined axes. In this case, moving in World -Y will always yield a leftward movement relative to the robot's frontal orientation, as established by the world coordinate setup. Thus, this option accurately describes the movement behavior when jogging in that specific coordinate plane.
