Within a robotic arm controlled by a PLC using inverse kinematics, which consequence arises from encoder quantization error?

💡 Explanation

Encoder quantization introduces discrete position steps sensed by the rotary position sensing mechanism. The controller’s inverse kinematics then operate on slightly wrong joint angles, because the perceived angles from encoder are discrete rather than continuous, therefore arm positioning accuracy degrades, rather than motor overload or oscillations.
