In a robot arm performing repetitive welding, which consequence results when joint encoder resolution is insufficient?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient encoder resolution leads to imprecise joint angles, and, over many cycles, positional error accumulates due to poor **feedback control**, because adjustments are not granular enough. Therefore, accuracy degrades, rather than causing electrical or thermal problems due to incorrect positioning.
