There is also TP, the language that is used in FANUC teach pendants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teach Pendant \u2014<\/strong> Possibly the most common method for programming FANUC robots is to &#8220;jog&#8221; the robot using the teach pendant.

You just load your chosen FANUC model from the integrated robot library.
