In industrial robotics, the concept of "position" is meaningless without a reference frame. A point defined as (10, 20, 30) implies a distance from an Origin (0,0,0).

When we program the palletizer, we are essentially dealing with two main coordinate systems:

1. World Coordinates: Fixed to the floor or the base of the robot. This is absolute.

2. Tool Coordinates (TCP): Fixed to the gripper. This moves with the robot.

The math we visualize in the "Simulation" tab effectively translates the linear index of a box (Box #1, Box #2) into a vector in the World Coordinate system.
