Which consequence results when a robotics arm's PLC fails during inverse kinematics calculations?

💡 Explanation

Path deviation occurs because PLC failure prevents correct joint angle computations via inverse kinematics; the arm moves erratically or locks in place trying to reach an impossible pose. Therefore the programmed path is not executed rather than a simple error.
