Which risk increases when a robotic arm encoder in a high-cycle pick-and-place operation experiences gradual quadrature signal drift?

💡 Explanation

Cumulative positioning inaccuracies intensify because the encoder's drifting quadrature signals skew the calculated angular position via dead reckoning; therefore, positional errors accumulate rather than being corrected by feedback, therefore leading to greater deviations over time.
