Which failure occurs because robot arm controller drift causes encoder errors?

💡 Explanation

Increased positional inaccuracy over time results from cumulative **dead reckoning error**, because integration of noisy encoder signals builds up positional uncertainty; therefore the calculated end-effector position deviates from the actual position, rather than thermal issues or oscillation with properly functioning encoders.
