Stochastic filters for on-line state estimation are a core technology for autonomous systems. The performance of such filters is one of the key limiting factors to a system's capability. Both asymptotic behavior (e.g.,~for regular…

The problem of estimating the angular speed of a solid body from attitude measurements is addressed. To solve this problem, we propose an observer whose dynamics are not constrained to evolve on any specific manifold. This drastically…

This paper addresses the leader-following attitude consensus problem for a group of spacecraft when at least one follower can access the leader's attitude and velocity relative to the inertial space. A nonlinear distributed observer is…

Attitude determination using the smartphone's inertial sensors poses a major challenge due to the sensor low-performance grade and variate nature of the walking pedestrian. In this paper, data-driven techniques are employed to address that…

A continuous solution is proposed to the problem of uniform global exponential estimation of the angular velocity for rigid bodies by means of direct attitude measurements. The proposed observer is designed on…

We consider the problem of distributed attitude estimation of multi-agent systems, evolving on $SO(3)$, relying on individual angular velocity and relative attitude measurements. The interaction graph topology is assumed to be an undirected…

Despite the celebrated success of stochastic control approaches for uncertain systems, such approaches are limited in the ability to handle non-Gaussian uncertainties. This work presents an adaptive robust control for linear uncertain…

In machine learning, accurately predicting the probability that a specific input is correct is crucial for risk management. This process, known as uncertainty (or confidence) estimation, is particularly important in mission-critical…

This paper presents solutions to the following two common quaternion attitude estimation problems: (i) estimation of attitude using measurement of two reference vectors, and (ii) estimation of attitude using rate measurement and measurement…

We present an ambiguity resolution method for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based attitude determination. A GNSS attitude model with nonlinear constraints is used to rigorously incorporate a priori information. Given the…

This paper proposes two novel nonlinear attitude filters evolved directly on the Special Orthogonal Group SO(3) able to ensure prescribed measures of transient and steady-state performance. The tracking performance of the normalized…

All quaternion methods for static attitude determination currently rely on either the spectral decomposition of a 4 x 4 matrix (q-Method) or finding the maximum eigenvalue of a 4th-order characteristic equation (QUEST). Using a spectral…

This paper presents a new geometric adaptive control system with state inequality constraints for the attitude dynamics of a rigid body. The control system is designed such that the desired attitude is asymptotically stabilized, while the…

Two novel robust nonlinear stochastic full pose (i.e, attitude and position) estimators on the Special Euclidean Group SE(3) are proposed using the available uncertain measurements. The resulting estimators utilize the basic structure of…

This paper proposes a globally and exponentially convergent predictive observer for attitude and position estimation based on landmark measurements and velocity (angular and linear) readings. It is assumed that landmark measurements are…

Motion prediction is a critical part of self-driving technology, responsible for inferring future behavior of traffic actors in autonomous vehicle's surroundings. In order to ensure safe and efficient operations, prediction models need to…

The paper addresses the problem of attitude estimation for rigid bodies using (possibly time-varying) vector measurements, for which we provide a necessary and sufficient condition of distinguishability. Such a condition is shown to be…

The rigid body attitude estimation problem is treated using the discrete-time Lagrange-d'Alembert principle. Three different possibilities are considered for the multi-rate relation between angular velocity measurements and direction vector…

We present a procedure for determination of positions and orbital elements, and associated uncertainties, of outer Solar System planets. The orbit-fitting procedure is greatly streamlined compared to traditional methods because acceleration…

Ellipse and ellipsoid fitting has been extensively researched and widely applied. Although traditional fitting methods provide accurate estimation of ellipse parameters in the low-noise case, their performance is compromised when the noise…
