Which outcome results when encoder signals drift within a robotic arm's PID control loop?

💡 Explanation

Cumulative positioning inaccuracy increases in robotic arms because encoder signal errors create deviations within the *integral term* of the PID loop. Therefore, the arm's accuracy degrades over time, rather than benefiting from error correction.
