In this work we solve the position-aided 3D navigation problem using a nonlinear estimation scheme. More precisely, we propose a nonlinear observer to estimate the full state of the vehicle (position, velocity, orientation and gyro bias)…

Aligning a robot's trajectory or map to the inertial frame is a critical capability that is often difficult to do accurately even though inertial measurement units (IMUs) can observe absolute roll and pitch with respect to gravity.…

Rigid body systems usually consider measurements of the pose of the body using onboard cameras/LiDAR systems, that of linear acceleration using an accelerometer and of angular velocity using an IMU. However, the measurements of the linear…

Accurate estimation of the relative attitude and angular velocity between two rigid bodies is fundamental in aerospace applications such as spacecraft rendezvous and docking. In these scenarios, a chaser vehicle must determine the…

Successful navigation of a rigid-body traveling with six degrees of freedom (6 DoF) requires accurate estimation of attitude , position, and linear velocity. The true navigation dynamics are highly nonlinear and are modeled on the matrix…

Inertial odometry (IO) using only Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) offers a lightweight and cost-effective solution for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, yet existing learning-based IO models often fail to generalize to UAVs due…

Employing an inertial measurement unit (IMU) as an additional sensor can dramatically improve both reliability and accuracy of visual/Lidar odometry (VO/LO). Different IMU integration models are introduced using different assumptions on the…

Attitude estimation is crucial in aerospace engineering, robotics, and virtual reality applications, but faces difficulties due to nonlinear system dynamics and sensor limitations. This paper addresses the challenge of attitude estimation…
