This paper proposes H 2 H2 / H ∞ H∞ full state-feedback synthesis for robot manipulators, using uncertain polytopic linear parameter-varying (LPV) system modeling, with pole placement constraints to assign the poles of closed-loop system in a desired linear matrix inequality (LMI) region. The desired state trajectory of the system is used for generating an uncertain polytopic model of the system applying usual Lagrangian equations. The control gain matrix is derived by solving a set of LMIs to design a robust pole placement controller such that a prescribed mixed H 2 H2 / H ∞ H∞ performance is fulfilled and the response of the manipulator has a proper damping ratio. A sufficient condition is proposed to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop uncertain polytopic LPV system against the uncertainties on the vertices. The proposed scheme is applied to controller synthesis of a two-degree-of-freedom manipulator trajectory-tracking problem. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
