Servo motion control is the art of commanding motors to reach specific positions or velocities with precision. A feedback loop (encoder, sensors) compares actual position to target; controller adjusts motor torque to minimize error. PID (proportional-integral-derivative) is the industry-standard control algorithm. It's ubiquitous in manufacturing (CNC machines), robotics (robotic arms), and precision instruments.
