servomechanism
n.
device which converts low-energy input into high-energy motion (especially one which automatically regulates itself through a feedback system)
Servomechanism
A
servomechanism, sometimes shortened to
servo, is an automatic device that uses error-sensing
negative feedback to correct the performance of a mechanism and is defined by its function. It usually includes a built-in
encoder. A servomechanism is sometimes called a
heterostat since it controls a system's behavior by means of
heterostasis.
