Which consequence results when an encoder loses steps in a robotic arm joint?

💡 Explanation

Positional feedback suffers from accuracy loss because the quadrature decoding mechanism relies on incrementally tracking the joint's angular displacement; therefore accuracy drifts, rather than total failure or shut-down, as position reported differs from the actual location.
