Which outcome occurs when position feedback fails in a robotic arm using integral control?

💡 Explanation

Runaway amplification in oscillations arises because without valid position feedback the integral gain continually increases motor output, driving the system toward an extreme range; therefore, oscillations are amplified, rather than settling to a stable endpoint because damping would decrease without functioning position data.
