How do you make an object, such as a robot, move from left to right and forward and back?

With copeg's tip,
I'm constructing a robot that has to move from right to left and forward and back.
My teacher has given us a sort of base code to start with, but since I don't know how to make a "robot" move, I haven't added to it yet.

package lab4;
public class RobotTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
 
    // TODO: construct a robot and move it around. Make it run out of
    // battery power, then recharge it and continue. Make the robot end 
    // where it begins. Call the method print below (repeatedly) to 
    // monitor the state of your robot.
  }
 
  private static void print(Robot r) {
    // TODO: print the state of the specified robot to the console.
    // This method calls methods on the specified robot object r.
    // For example, r.getX() gets the X coordinate of the robot r,
    // which this method can then print, along with other such info.
  }
}

This took me a really long time to understand what he was asking.

It's probably got a remote control. If it doesn't work, try changing the batteries. Otherwise, you
could just pick it up and move it around, making robot noises (like BZZZT, or VWEEE-OO) with your mouth.

Uh.... I meant for a program....
I have to construct a program for a robot that moves around and its position and battery life are recorded back to the public.

The previous response was a roundabout way of saying the info you gave was very vague and nondescript. If you wish to get more input to help you, you need to provide a LOT more context, and preferably code.

Thanks, I'll modify it.
