Etymology

The term 'servo' originates from the Latin word 'servus', meaning 'slave' or 'servant', which reflects the function of servo mechanisms in providing precise and responsive control, much like a servant obeys commands. The first use of 'servo' in this context is believed to date back to the early 20th century, when electrical and mechanical engineering began to intersect. As technology advanced, particularly with the advent of radio-controlled devices and robotics, the concept of servoing gained popularity in the fields of automation and control systems. Over the decades, the term has evolved to encompass a wide range of applications in various industries, including aerospace, manufacturing, and consumer electronics, highlighting the growing reliance on automated systems that require feedback control.
