What are the Sources of Robot Inaccuracy?

Many industrial applications require accurate robots to achieve critical tasks, such as aeronautic manufacturing [1] and metrological inspection [2]. However, industrial robots do not often offer height accuracy. Robotic inaccuracy is attributed to several error sources, which are divided into three main categories: Active joint errors, kinematic errors and non-kinematic errors. By active joints, we refer to the articulated and actuated joints of a robot, since some joints are articulated but not actuated, for example in parallel robots, these are called passive joints.
