We show that a system is uniformly accelerated if and only if all of the clocks in the system can be synchronized to each other, and the clocks will remain synchronized as long as the acceleration remains uniform. In particular, it is…

An observer at rest in a uniformly accelerated reference frame experiences a parallel gravitational field, where the rays of light are formed as circular arcs instead of being straight lines. We deduce how a sphere at rest in the Rindler…

This paper deals with the design of globally exponentially stable invariant observers on the Special Euclidian group SE(3). First, we propose a generic hybrid observer scheme (depending on a generic potential function) evolving on…

An inversion transformation applied to an inertial observer is used to generate a nonstatic conformally flat geometry in spherical coordinates. A static observer in the new geometry is uniformly accelerating with respect to the inertial one…

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the position of an object moving in $R^n$ from direction and velocity measurements. After addressing observability issues associated with this problem, a nonlinear observer is designed so as to…

We study the role of acceleration in the twin paradox. From the coordinate transformation that relates an accelerated and an inertial observer we find that, from the point of view of the accelerated observer, the rate of the differential…

This paper deals with the problem of full state estimation for vehicles navigating in a three dimensional space. We assume that the vehicle is equipped with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) providing body-frame measurements of the angular…

We address tracking and prediction of multiple moving objects in visual data streams as inference and sampling in a disentangled latent state-space model. By encoding objects separately and including explicit position information in the…

The problem of finite/fixed-time cooperative state estimation is considered for a class of quasilinear systems with nonlinearities satisfying a H\"older condition. A strongly connected nonlinear distributed observer is designed under the…

This paper presents a new observer design approach for linear time invariant multivariable systems subject to unknown inputs. The design is based on a transformation to the so-called special coordinate basis. This form reveals important…

In this paper we are interested in the problem of adaptive state observation of linear time-varying (LTV) systems where the system and the input matrices depend on unknown time-varying parameters. It is assumed that these parameters satisfy…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has already demonstrated its potential in many civilian applications, and the fa\c{c}ade inspection is among the most promising ones. In this paper, we focus on enabling the autonomous perception and control of…

In this paper, we propose a suboptimal moving horizon estimator for nonlinear systems. For the stability analysis we transfer the "feasibility-implies-stability/robustness" paradigm from model predictive control to the context of moving…

We propose an approach to detect flying objects such as UAVs and aircrafts when they occupy a small portion of the field of view, possibly moving against complex backgrounds, and are filmed by a camera that itself moves. Solving such a…

This paper introduces a novel distributed consensus-based observer design that enables a group of agents in an undirected communication network to solve the problem of target tracking, where the target is modelled as a chain of integrators…

We propose a simple nonlinear observer for estimating the attitude and velocity of a rigid body from the measurements of specific acceleration, angular velocity, magnetic field (in body axes), and linear velocity (in body axes). It is…

Special relativity calculates, by means of the Lorentz gamma factor, the proper time of all inertial systems from the observer proper time, which is taken as a time standard. So, any temporal inference relies in first instance on the…

This paper discusses a novel approach for detecting moving massive objects based on the time variation that these objects produce in the local gravitational field measured by several detectors. Such an approach may provide a viable method…

The worldline of a uniformly accelerated localized observer in Minkowski space is restricted in the Rindler wedge, where the observer can in principle arrange experiments repeatedly, and the Cauchy problem for quantum fields in that Rindler…

There is a risk of collision when multiple UAVs land simultaneously without communication on the same platform. This work accomplishes vision-based autonomous landing and uses a deep-learning-based method to realize collision avoidance…
