Definition
伺服 is a technical verb borrowed from 'servo' (Latin servus). In modern Chinese it is almost exclusively used in engineering and automation contexts, such as 伺服电机 (servo motor) and 伺服系统 (servo system). It does NOT mean 'wait upon' in the sense of human service — that would be 伺候 or 服侍. You will encounter it in compound nouns describing feedback-control mechanisms.
v.
(technical) to serve (as in a servo mechanism)to provide feedback control
