In recent years, numerical weather prediction models have begun to show notable levels of skill at predicting the average winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) when initialised one month ahead. At the same time, these model predictions…
Floating-point program errors can lead to severe consequences, particularly in critical domains such as military applications. Only a small subset of inputs may induce substantial floating-point errors, prompting researchers to develop…
Inertial odometry is an attractive solution to the problem of state estimation for agile quadrotor flight. It is inexpensive, lightweight, and it is not affected by perceptual degradation. However, only relying on the integration of the…
