Which outcome results when a multi-axis robotic arm's absolute rotary encoder fails?

💡 Explanation

Compromised absolute position calculation occurs when the encoder fails, because the control system uses the encoder’s feedback to calculate and maintain the arm's exact joint angles using kinematics. Therefore precise movements are impossible rather than only torque reduction because motor drivers respond quickly.
