What action is taken during the startup of a robot?

During the startup of a robot, jogging the robot arm is a common action performed to ensure that the robot is responsive and correctly calibrated. This initial movement allows the operator to confirm that the robot is functioning properly and to check the operating ranges of the joints and components. Jogging the arm also helps in diagnosing any potential issues that might not be evident until the robot is in motion.

This process provides a hands-on way to verify the robot's setup and to ensure that all parts are operating smoothly before proceeding to more complex tasks or operations. It sets a foundation for safe and effective operation, ensuring any necessary adjustments to positions and movements can be easily addressed right from the beginning.
