Abstract: In order to reduce the fluctuation degree of output velocity of flexible joints of transmission line inspection robots, the controller parameter of the flexible joint servo drive system is designed by pole assignment. The choice of this parameter changes with the change of the robot posture so that the robot flexible joint servo drive system can obtain a stable output speed. Firstly, the dynamic equation of the robot flexible joint servo drive system is established and the transfer function of motor speed to electromagnetic torque is obtained. Then PI control strategy is applied to the flexible joint servo control to obtain the closed-loop transfer function of the control system. Then the pole assignment strategy with the same damping coefficient is used to design the controller parameter. Finally, the experiment of flexible joint control under the condition of the patrol robot surmounting obstacles is carried out, which shows that the flexible joint can obtain a good output speed by selecting pole assignment parameters properly.
