This paper presents a study on quadrotor using PID controller together with the application of Kalman Filter. Purpose of this project is to study effect of separate Kalman filter in overcoming the signal noise and gyro drift in the attitude sensors and simulate the PID controller which controlling the quadrotor dynamics through damping the vehicle oscillation. In this research, simulation of Kalman Filter in filtering the noise from the inertial moment unit (IMU) and PID controller in damping on unstable oscillation has been conducted to observe the performance of the quadrotor.

Robotic manipulators have been widely used in industries, mainly to move tools into different specific positions. Thus, it has become necessary to have accurate knowledge about the tool position using forward kinematics after accessing the angular locations of limbs. This paper presents a simulation study in which an encoder attached to the limbs gathers information about the angular positions. The measured angles are applied to the Kalman Filter (KF) and its variants for state estimation. This work focuses on the use of fractional order controllers with a Two Degree of Freedom Serial Flexible Links (2DSFL) and Two Degree of Freedom Serial Flexible Joint (2DSFJ) and undertakes simulations with noise and a square wave as input. The fractional order controllers fit better with the system properties than integer order controllers. The KF and its variants use an unknown and assumed process and measurement noise matrices to predict the actual data. An optimisation problem is proposed to achieve reasonable estimations with the updated covariance matrices.

A new rapid computation method for Kalman filtering is proposed. In this method, the prediction of state covariance matrix is expanded directly rather than computing by a looping program. Sequential filtering for measurement update is also applied. Furthermore, the subsidiary elements in system matrix are set to zero and a reduced-dimensions sub-optimal Kalman filter is presented. The proposed method greatly decreases computational burden and it is only 6.59% of the classic method. In the end, a vehicular test is carried out to prove the feasibility of the filtering.

The Kalman filtering technique is considered as a part of concurrent data-processing techniques also related to detection, parameter evaluation, and identification. The adaptive properties of the filter are discussed as being related to symmetrical brain structures.

PurposeTo improve sensorless control of induction motor using Kalman filtering family, this paper aims to introduce a new metaheuristic optimizer algorithm for online rotor speed and flux estimation.Design/methodology/approachThe main problem with unscented Kalman filter (UKF) observer is its sensibility to the initial values of Q and R. To solve the optimal solution of these matrices, a novel alternative called ant lion optimization (ALO)-UKF is introduced. It is based on the combination of the classical UKF observer and a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm, ALO.FindingsSynthesized ALO-UKF has given good results over the famous extended Kalman filter and the classical UKF observer in terms of accuracy and dynamic performance. A comparison between ALO and particle swarm optimization (PSO) was established. Simulations illustrate that ALO recovers rapidly and accurately while PSO has a slower convergence.Originality/valueUsing the proposed approach, tuning the design matrices Q and R in Kalman filtering becomes an easy task with a high degree of accuracy and the constraints of time cost are surmounted. Also, ALO-UKF is an efficient tool to improve estimation performance of states and parameters’ uncertainties of the induction motor. Related optimization technique can be extended to faults monitoring by online identification of their corresponding signatures.

Abstract Filtering is a subset of a more general probabilistic estimation scheme for estimating the unobserved parameters from the observed measurements. For nonlinear, high speed applications, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) are common estimators; however, expensive and strongly nonlinear forward models remain a challenge. In this paper, a novel Kalman filtering algorithm for nonlinear systems is developed, where the numerical approximation is achieved via a change of measure. The accuracy is identical in the linear case and superior in two nonlinear test problems: a challenging 1D benchmarking problem and a 4D structural health monitoring problem. This increase in accuracy is achieved without the need for tuning parameters, rather relying on a more complete approximation of the underlying distributions than the Unscented Transform. In addition, when expensive forward models are used, we achieve a significant reduction in computational cost without resorting to model approximation.
