I'm looking at the realtime joint controller tutorial, and it's talking about "commanded effort" for controlling the joint. What exactly is "effort"? It's not defined anywhere that I see. It looks just like some kind of position displacement.

The term 'effort' is used to describe either the force of a prismatic joint or the torque of a rotational joint. It's used to generalize the name for this two types of joints.
