Full State Feedback Question

However, this requires designing a MIMO controller, so you need to use a method suitable for doing so, since you need to choose a K matrix that's makes tradeoffs between multiple objectives (LQR is one common approach). As a quick workaround, you can use apply separate position and velocity FSF controllers and sum their outputs.

Won't trajectory tracking require feed forwards as well? Maybe that's a side effect of how I've been formulating our controllers.

U = K (R - X) + FF(R)
