Which outcome occurs when positional feedback from a robotic arm's optical encoder fails during a programmed task?

💡 Explanation

Loss of encoder feedback disrupts the arm's closed-loop control, because positional data guides servo corrections; therefore, 'unplanned movements' occur, rather than controlled shutdown (which requires functioning safety logic) or changes in motor characteristics.
