Likelihood field sensor model (Probabilistic Robotics, Thrun et al., p.169-174)
I am currently working on the "likelihood field" sensor model (aka "endpoint model") by Thrun et al. (book: Probabilistic Robotics, Thrun et al., p.169-174)
In this context I have ...

Inferring joint orientation on multi-joint arm
Not a robotics question in the strictest sense, I guess, but related closely enough, I hope:
I have an arm-like articulated two(-plus-one)-joint appliance that I want to use as a 3D input device. It ...

Motion planning with Gaussian Process Regression
I was recently introduced to Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). I read multiple papers regarding use cases of GPR in robotics, however, they were more or less very limited.
Use case from the ...

MPU6050: Changing Gyro Output Range Throws off Positional Reading
I am using the MPU6050 in conjunction with an Arduino and Jeff Rowberg's i2cdev library, and my project requires that the gyro rate outputs be more precise than the default setting, which is 1/16.4 of ...

How does one implement a third order complementary filter for estimating altitude using data from an accelerometer and a barometer?
I am working with the CJMCU build of cleanflight on a small drone. As of now, the algorithm for altitude hold uses a first order complementary filter to combine data from the barometer and the ...

Nonlinear Sensor Fusion with Space-Time Finite Element and Static Condensation?
I have recently implemented an algorithm for the nonlinear fusion of GNSS, barometer, magnetometer, accelerometer and gyroscope data.
The algorithm is based on a space-time finite element where the ...

FABRIK Inverse Kinematics Convergence Proof For Multiple End-Effector Case
Below, I've linked the FABRIK papers, the first of which is particularly relevant to my question, as it shows the convergence proof for the single end effector case, and this makes sense to me. But I ...
