Which outcome results when drift accumulation miscalibrates an inertial measurement unit inside a robot?

💡 Explanation

Positional error worsens because gyroscope and accelerometer data in the IMU are integrated over time; this process, known as dead reckoning, accumulates even small sensor errors impacting robot path planning causing drift; therefore the calculated robot position diverges from the actual one rather than voltage instability.
