← TechnologyWhich positional inaccuracy arises when a robotic arm’s quadrature encoder misinterprets rapid rotational direction changes?
A)Increased steady-state velocity error
B)Dynamic following error increases slightly
C)Overshoot during rapid braking cycles✓
D)Ringing upon reaching setpoint target
💡 Explanation
Overshoot during rapid braking occurs because the quadrature decoder’s state transition errors cause miscounting: *positional drift during deceleration*. The controller overestimates how far the arm has moved, therefore commanding insufficient counter-torque, rather than velocity errors under constant motion.
