Which risk increases significantly when hydraulic actuator seals degrade in an automated assembly robot?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled arm movement increases because seal degradation leads to internal leakage within the actuator, which reduces positional accuracy. This bypass reduces effective control rather than causing pump problems or valve stiction; therefore incorrect positioning results.
