SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a fundamental problem when an autonomous mobile robot explores an unknown environment by constructing/updating the environment map and localizing itself in this built map. The all-important problem of SLAM is revisited in this paper and a solution based on Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (AUKF) is presented. We will explain the detailed algorithm...

This paper presents sensor data fusion using Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) to implement high performance vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) based vision tracking system for mobile robots. Information from various sensors is required to be integrated using an efficient sensor fusion algorithm to achieve a continuous and robust vision tracking system. We use data from low cost accelerometer, gyroscope...

Orbit determination in application to the estimation of impact probability has the goal of determining the evolution of the state probability density function (pdf) and determining a measure of the probability of collision. Nonlinear gravitational interaction and non-conservative forces can make the pdf far from Gaussian. This work implements three nonlinear sequential estimators: the Extended ...

This paper describes a new approach for mobile robot navigation using an interval analysis based adaptive mechanism for an Unscented Kalman filter. The robot is equipped with inertial sensors, encoders and ultrasonic sensors. The map used for this study is two-dimensional and it is assumed to be known a-priori. Multiple sensor fusion for robot localisation and navigation has attracted a lot of ...

In this paper a new Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (AUKF) is proposed and applied for the state estimation of a LEO (Low earth Orbit) satellite planar model. The Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is preferred here because of its derivative free calculation process and superior performance in highly non linear systems. Further the choice of adaptive filter gives the opportunity to estimate the sta...

© 2013 Munkhzul Enkhtur et al. 943 Instead of the extended Kalman filter, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) has been used in nonlinear systems without initial accurate state estimates over the last decade because the UKF is robust against large initial estimation errors. However, in a multirate integrated system, such as an inertial navigation system (INS)/Global Positioning System (GPS) integr...

Localization via Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is frequently used in different applications nowadays. It has the advantage that next to its ostensible purpose of identifying objects via their unique IDs it can simultaneously be used for the localization of these objects. In this work it is shown how Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurements at different antennae of a passiv...

In this paper, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for curvilinear motions in an interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm to track a maneuvering vehicle on a road is investigated. Driving patterns of vehicles on a road are modeled as stochastic hybrid systems. In order to track the maneuvering vehicles, two kinematic models are derived: A constant velocity model for linear motions and a constant...

For parameter estimations, we have developed a extended kalman filter(EKF) and unscented kalman filter(UKF) for linear as well as non-linear spacecraft systems. We have described the differences of two approaches mathematical equation for modeling of the system value of mean square error, error covariance and For state estimation of satellite, two different type of filters has been described i....
