Outliers and impulsive disturbances often cause heavy-tailed distributions in practical applications, and these will degrade the performance of Gaussian approximation smoothing algorithms. To improve the robustness of the…

The Kalman filter and Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) smoother are optimal for state estimation in linear dynamic systems. With nonlinear systems, the challenge consists in how to propagate uncertainty through the state transitions and output…

Smoothing is a technique that estimates the state of a system using measurement information both prior and posterior to the estimation time. Two notable examples of this technique are the Rauch-Tung-Striebel and Mayne-Fraser-Potter…

Trajectory Reconstruction (TR) is vital for accurately mapping movement patterns and validating analyses, especially in fields like robotics, biomechanics, and environmental tracking, where data might be missing or affected by outliers.…

In this paper we propose a (non-linear) smoothing algorithm for group-affine observation systems, a recently introduced class of estimation problems on Lie groups that bear a particular structure. As most non-linear smoothing methods, the…

In this article we investigate smoothing (i.e., optimisation-based) estimation techniques for robot localization using an IMU aided by other localization sensors. We more particularly focus on Invariant Smoothing (IS), a variant based on…

The Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) and the Mayne-Fraser (MF) algorithms are two of the most popular smoothing schemes to reconstruct the state of a dynamic linear system from measurements collected on a fixed interval. Another (less popular)…

We employ the variational formulation and the Euler-Lagrange equations to study the steady-state error in linear non-causal estimators (smoothers). We give a complete description of the steady-state error for inputs that are polynomial in…

This work presents a general framework for solving the low rank and/or sparse matrix minimization problems, which may involve multiple non-smooth terms. The Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares (IRLS) method is a fast solver, which smooths…

State estimation of multi-modal hybrid systems is an important problem with many applications in the field robotics. However, incorporating discrete modes in the estimation process is hampered by a potentially combinatorial growth in…

In this paper we address smoothing-that is, optimisation-based-estimation techniques for localisation problems in the case where motion sensors are very accurate. Our mathematical analysis focuses on the difficult limit case where motion…

Iteratively reweighted least square (IRLS) is a popular approach to solve sparsity-enforcing regression problems in machine learning. State of the art approaches are more efficient but typically rely on specific coordinate pruning schemes.…

This paper presents a robust fixed lag smoother for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems. A unified scheme, which combines a nonlinear robust estimator with a stable fixed lag smoother, is presented to improve the error covariance of the…

This paper considers the problem of iterative Bayesian smoothing in nonlinear state-space models with additive noise using Gaussian approximations. Iterative methods are known to improve smoothed estimates but are not guaranteed to…

This paper considers approximate smoothing for discretely observed non-linear stochastic differential equations. The problem is tackled by developing methods for linearising stochastic differential equations with respect to an arbitrary…

This paper proposes a new approach to describe the stability of linear time-invariant systems via the torsion $\tau(t)$ of the state trajectory. For a system $\dot{r}(t)=Ar(t)$ where $A$ is invertible, we show that (1) if there exists a…

This paper presents windowing and random weighting (WRW) based adaptive cubature Rauch Tung Striebel (CRTS) smoother (WRWACRTS). The Unscented KF (WRWUKF) has already existed as an alternative to nonlinear smoothing solutions. In the…

We present an adaptive smoother for linear state-space models with unknown process and measurement noise covariances. The proposed method utilizes the variational Bayes technique to perform approximate inference. The resulting smoother is…

As second-order methods, Gauss--Newton-type methods can be more effective than first-order methods for the solution of nonsmooth optimization problems with expensive-to-evaluate smooth components. Such methods, however, often do not…

This letter introduces two multi-sensor state estimation frameworks for quadruped robots, built on the Invariant Extended Kalman Filter (InEKF) and Invariant Smoother (IS). The proposed methods, named E-InEKF and E-IS, fuse kinematics, IMU,…
