'''What are Motion Instructions?'''
 
The robot is simply a computer that can interact with the physical world. For it to perform tasks as we desire them, we need to tell the robot the processes involved in doing so.
 
The FANUC motion instructions involve teaching the destination point(s), the type of motion to reach it, the speed it will move, the termination type, and any other special actions or considerations to take in the process of moving to the destination.

|'''Linear'''
|'''A straight line from the current position to the destination'''
|'''Whenever the path taken is required to be straight and without deviation'''
|-
|'''Joint'''
|'''The most efficient method of reconfiguring the joints to reach the destination'''
|'''Since Joint moves are faster, jointthis motion type should be used whenever it doesn’t matter what path it takes to reach the destination. The robot will still consider DCS zones, linear speed settings, and operational limits.'''

|'''Circular'''
|'''A circular path that begins at the current position, reaches the first point taught, and continues to the second point taught. These are known as midpoint and endpoint.'''
|'''Whenever the path needs to be a radius around an arbitrary center. The path is calculated much like a linear move in that it must follow the curved line made by the circle.'''
