Abstract

Systems in nature are stochastic as well as nonlinear. In traditional applications, engineered filters aim to minimize the stochastic effects caused by process and measurement noise. Conversely, a previous study showed that the process noise can reveal the observability of a system that was initially categorized as unobservable when deterministic tools were used. In this paper, we develop a stochastic framework to explore observability analysis and sensor placement. This framework allows for direct studies of the effects of stochasticity on optimal sensor placement and selection to improve filter error covariance. Numerical results are presented for sensor selection that optimizes stochastic empirical observability in a bioinspired setting.
