← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a PLC controlling a robotic arm's trajectory executes unvalidated motion plans?
A)False kinematic singularity triggering collision✓
B)CPU cycle time becoming unpredictable
C)Encoder pulse count inaccurately drifting
D)Harmonic drive backlash unexpectedly increasing
💡 Explanation
Executing unvalidated motion plans can cause the arm to move into a kinematic singularity, because Jacobian matrix inversion fails, meaning small joint changes cause large Cartesian movements, therefore a collision can occur rather than smooth trajectory as predicted safely.
