Assuming standard setup, if you jog the robot in World -Y, which direction will the TCP move?

When jogging a robot in World -Y, the movement is related to the robot's coordinate system, which defines the robot's orientation and movement relative to a fixed point in space. The TCP (Tool Center Point) moves according to the defined coordinate system, where the World coordinates establish a universal reference point.

In the World coordinate system, the positive and negative axes define specific directions. The -Y direction typically indicates movement backwards relative to the defined World coordinate frame. If you envision the coordinate system as a 3D grid where the robot is stationary at the origin, moving in -Y will, in effect, shift the TCP in the direction opposite to the positive Y-axis.

Therefore, when you jog the robot in World -Y, the TCP will indeed move to the robot's right, based on the robot's perspective. This is why the identified option correctly denotes this movement direction. Understanding the World coordinate frames is crucial, as it helps in visualizing how inputs for jogging the robot will correspond to physical movements in the workspace.
