Abstract
Methods and systems for teaching positions to components of devices are described. An example method includes providing instructions to a robotic device or robotic manipulator to place the robotic manipulator into a fine-tuning teach mode, in which the robotic manipulator is in a given position and is configured to move based on application of a manual contact in one or more step movements having a preset amount of distance. The method also includes determining that a given manual contact is applied to the robotic manipulator, and causing the robotic manipulator to incrementally move in the one or more step movements having the preset amount of distance.
