Which outcome can result when accumulated floating-point rounding errors exceed accepted tolerance within a PLC controlling a robotic arm?

💡 Explanation

Unplanned kinematic singularity passage occurs because floating point errors accumulate, corrupting the inverse kinematics calculations managed by the PLC. This leads to unpredictable joint movements; therefore the arm passes through a zone where a defined motion becomes impossible altogether, rather than executing controlled operation.
