Which safety outcome is compromised when a robot arm's joint sensors fail during inverse kinematics calculations?

💡 Explanation

Unpredictable end-effector trajectory results because, in inverse kinematics, joint angles needed to reach a target position are calculated, and without accurate feedback from joint sensors related to the "Closed kinematic chain", this calculation results inaccurately. Therefore, the arm won't predictably reach or stop where expected, rather than efficiency, encoding or PLC related causes.
