class Machine {
    var location: Point

    init() {
        self.location = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
    }

    func move(direction: String) {
        print("Do nothing! Im a machine!")
    }
}


class Robot: Machine {

    override init(){
        super.init()
    }


    override func move(direction: String){
        switch Point(x: 0, y: 0) {
        case func move(direction: "Up"):
        y += 1
       default:

Hi, you don't need to override init method just the function. You can do it like this:

class Robot: Machine {

  override func move(direction: String) {
    switch direction {
      case "Up": location.y += 1
      case "Down": location.y -= 1
      case "Left": location.x -= 1
      case "Right": location.x += 1
      default: break
    }
  }
}

You have a default implementation of location variable defined in Machine class.
