Which risk increases when a robotic arm uses an incremental encoder without homing?

💡 Explanation

Incremental encoders produce relative position updates, therefore, if homing is absent, any undetected error accumulates due to drift. This `drift integration` causes cumulative positional error to grow unpredictably, rather than issues with overheating or friction.
