Rigidbody.MovePosition

Parameters

Description

Moves the rigidbody to position.

Use Rigidbody.MovePosition to move a Rigidbody, complying with the Rigidbody's interpolation setting.

If Rigidbody interpolation is enabled on the Rigidbody, calling Rigidbody.MovePosition results in a smooth transition between the two positions in any intermediate frames rendered. This should be used if you want to continuously move a rigidbody in each FixedUpdate.

Set Rigidbody.position instead, if you want to teleport a rigidbody from one position to another, with no intermediate positions being rendered.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector3 teleportPoint;
    public Rigidbody rb;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.MovePosition(transform.position + transform.forward * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

If the rigidbody has isKinematic set false then it works differently. It works like transform.position=newPosition and teleports the object (rather than a smooth transition).
