servomechanism
A servomechanism is a control system designed to automatically regulate a device's position, speed, or force. It uses feedback to compare the actual output with the desired goal and makes adjustments to minimize any difference. For example, in a robotic arm, sensors detect its position, and the system adjusts the motors to maintain precise movement or positioning. This feedback loop ensures accurate, reliable operation, making servomechanisms essential in robotics, aircraft controls, and manufacturing automation where precise control is critical.
