制御系の追随性を向上させるためにパラメータを調整した。

コンプライアンス is the katakana loanword for compliance, often used in business or legal contexts, while 追随性 is a native technical term used in engineering.
Compound of 追随 (following, tracking) and 性 (property, nature). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; it is a modern technical coinage.
