Flexibility in joint drive systems causes robot arm vibration. The conventional semi closed-loop control cannot provide a high servo stiffness and large bandwidth for industrial robots. To achieve a high speed and high precision control, it is important to reduce vibration of robot arm and effect of disturbance. For this purpose, state feedback control becomes more and more important in practice. In this paper, we present an analysis and design of state feedback control for two-inertia system. From the viewpoints of non-negative positional stiffness and internal feedback construction, the domain of pole assignment is analyzed. The effect of disturbance is compared and evaluated for three optimum pole assignments, and the worst case of disturbance is also introduced. It is shown that choice and design of optimum pole assignment are very important when considering the effect of disturbance.
