← TechnologyWhich issue arises when stepper motor encoders fail?
A)Position estimate becomes less accurate✓
B)Motor speed increases substantially
C)Decreased current and overheating risk
D)Communication bus system completely freezes
💡 Explanation
Failed encoders disrupt closed-loop control via Kalman filtering because an accurate feedback signal containing rotor position is lost, therefore the robotic joint drifts from its programming, rather than maintaining the specified trajectory.
