If a robotic arm is programmed for a specific trajectory but deviates due to slippage, which mechanism degrades positional accuracy?

💡 Explanation

Cumulative encoder quantization error causes progressive deviation because each increment of 'lost' position affects subsequent movements. This positional drift accumulates over time, therefore the robot no longer follows the intended path, rather than a random deviation from PID or drivetrain causes.
