Which risk increases when robotic arm joint encoders, using incremental quadrature encoding, experience high-frequency vibration while positioning?

💡 Explanation

Cumulative positioning error drift appears because vibration introduces spurious pulses and missed counts during quadrature decoding. Therefore, positional feedback becomes inaccurate; rather than absolute encoders, the incremental nature makes it prone drift.
