← TechnologyWhich kinematic consequence occurs when backlash increases in a robot's wrist joint?
A)Reduced positioning accuracy✓
B)Increased joint damping factor
C)Lower motor drive currents
D)Improved singularity avoidance
💡 Explanation
Increased backlash introduces play, causing positioning errors because the intended joint angle differs from the actual angle due to the lost motion during reversals: this is kinematic error propagation. Therefore, accuracy diminishes, rather than reduced damping, lowered current, or improved singularity management which address different motor characteristics.
