Which failure mode arises when multiple PLCs controlling a robotic arm's joints receive unsynchronized position updates?

💡 Explanation

Trajectory drift appears in unsynchronized robotic arms, because asynchronous updates cause mismatched joint positions; this positional variance accumulates from cycle-to-cycle via numerical integration, therefore positional drift, rather than dampened oscillations, occurs due to time delays.
