You need to override the move() method:

class Robot: Machine {
    override func move (direction: String) {
        switch direction {
        case "Up":
            self.location.y++
        case "Down":
            self.location.y--
        case "Left":
            self.location.x--
        case "Right":
            self.location.x++
        default: break
        }
    }
}
