When defining a position in FANUC robotics, what does adding a value to a coordinate do?

Adding a value to a coordinate in FANUC robotics effectively offsets the position in that direction. This means that if you have a specific coordinate point defined and you add a numerical value to one of its coordinates (X, Y, or Z), the robot will adjust its position accordingly, moving to the new location based on that offset.

For instance, if you have a coordinate at X = 100 and add 10 to it, the new position for the robot will be X = 110. This function is crucial in programming for tasks such as movements, adjustments during operations, or when fine-tuning the robot's path in relation to its environment.

The other options do not accurately describe the impact of adding a value to a coordinate. Adjusting the orientation of the robot would involve different parameters that specifically control rotation rather than a simple addition to coordinate values. Similarly, resetting a coordinate to zero would require a specific command to nullify its value, rather than adding a value. Moving the robot closer to the starting point does not capture the full principle of how offsets work in defining new positions.
