Precision

The closeness of agreement between repeated measurements or movements when approaching the same target under the same conditions. Also called repeatability. Industrial robots achieve repeatability of ±0.02–0.1mm. Precision is different from accuracy — a robot can be precise (consistent) but inaccurate (consistently offset from the true target).
