Alternatives to Kalmam Filter
A good choice for sensor fusion with the MPU6050 is a second order complementary filter, which I used for the orientation estimation in a project. The complementary filter is computational cheap and ...

Noisy magnetometer data

For this, I'll assume that Wikipedia is generally correct and that the strength of Earth's ...

Complimentary filter issues
There are quite a few things wrong here. I'll split them into two sections: technical errors, and coding warnings.
Technical Errors:
You are not calculating your angles from accelerometer readings ...

How to use a POMDP-based planner on top of a probabilistic filter

Smooth step function Simulink
There are a variety of functions that can give you an "S" curve like you want. Check out the Sigmoid function.
I usually use something like this:
$f(x) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$
And it can ...

How to produce a continuous variation of a discontinuous function?

How to update an EKF when no inputs are available?
You can use the last value $u_{t-1}$ if the time step is not too big ($\delta t$ is small).
Or, you can keep track of $u$ some time steps in the past, e.g. ten of them and extrapolate $u_t$ when you ...

Smooth step function Simulink
So you could use the ramp block, but that only has a turn-on time and a slope; there's no limiting it once it's turned on.
What I prefer to use instead is the repeating sequence block, which lets you ...

Sparcification of SLAM with SEIF (Sparse Extended Information Filter)
I still couldn't derive it, but maybe I could prove it thanks to willSapgreen.
Information matrix of distribution $p(x_t, Y^+, Y^0|Y^-=0)$ is $H_t'$;
$$H_t'=S_{x_t,Y^+,Y^0}S^T_{x_t,Y^+,Y^0}H_tS^T_{x_t,...

How can we calculate likelihood of sensor values wrt to actual real world?
The likelihood is with respect to your predicted state not the world state (You will never know the world state)
For example, if you predict you will be at [0,0] but the measurement tells you [.5,.5] ...

In a discrete bayes filter, why is noise in the sensor treated differently than noise in the motion
The reason the two sources of error are treated differently is because.. they are different. To some extent, this is a matter of terminology. Imagine you're walking in a room where the lights keep ...
