Servomotor

Servomotors, also known as limb motors or movement/balance processors, were motors used in droids for movement^[3] in their limbs.^[source?] The droid bounty hunter C-21 Highsinger was equipped with state-of-the-art servomotors that gave him the skills of a martial artist.^[1] Servomotors were also used by organic lifeforms, in cybernetic replacement for lost limbs. During a battle aboard the sail barge Khetanna, the back of Luke Skywalker's prothestic hand got blasted, tearing away the polymer skin and revealing damaged servomotors and wires inside.^[2]
