The motion state of a quadruped robot in operation changes constantly. Due to the drift caused by the accumulative error, the function of the inertial measurement unit (IMU) will be limited. Even though multi-sensor fusion technology is adopted, the quadruped robot will lose its ability to respond to state changes after a while because the gain tends to be constant. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a strong tracking mixed-degree cubature Kalman filter (STMCKF) method. According to system characteristics of the quadruped robot, this method makes fusion estimation of forward kinematics and IMU track. The combination mode of traditional strong tracking cubature Kalman filter (TSTCKF) and strong tracking is improved through demonstration. A new method for calculating fading factor matrix is proposed, which reduces sampling times from three to one, saving significantly calculation time. At the same time, the state estimation accuracy is improved from the third-degree accuracy of Taylor series expansion to fifth-degree accuracy. The proposed algorithm can automatically switch the working mode according to real-time supervision of the motion state and greatly improve the state estimation performance of quadruped robot system, exhibiting strong robustness and excellent real-time performance. Finally, a comparative study of STMCKF and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) that is commonly used in quadruped robot system is carried out. Results show that the method of STMCKF has high estimation accuracy and reliable ability to cope with sudden changes, without significantly increasing the calculation time, indicating the correctness of the algorithm and its great application value in quadruped robot system.

The state of charge (SOC) plays an important role in battery management systems (BMS). However, SOC cannot be measured directly and an accurate state estimation is difficult to obtain due to the nonlinear battery characteristics. In this paper, a method of SOC estimation with parameter updating by using the dual square root cubature Kalman filter (DSRCKF) is proposed. The proposed method has been validated experimentally and the results are compared with dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) and dual square root unscented Kalman filter (DSRUKF) methods. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method has the most balance performance among them in terms of the SOC estimation accuracy, execution time, and convergence rate.

Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a technique used in non-linear applications and dynamic systems identification (e.g. tracking marine vessels and ships) that require state and parameter estimation. This paper studies Kalman Filter (KF) based techniques for tracking ships using Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The present work proposes to exploit information from GPS sensors in order to track a ship in real-time. The absence and presence problem of a ship is handled by a applying KF theory to analyze GPS coordinates and compare current marine vessel routes to previously recorded ones. To study tracking performance, the system was implemented in C++ and simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and high accuracy of the proposed tracking method

In order to solve the problem of algorithmic complexity and large computation in Doppler radar measurement processing, a direct unscented Kalman filter is proposed in the paper. It undertakes nonlinear filtering to Doppler radar measurement in mixed coordinate directly, which makes the algorithm much simpler and reduces computation greatly. Simulation results show that the algorithm not only reaches the similar state estimation accuracy like SEKF and SUKF, but also improves the consistency of state estimation apparently.

Accurate estimation of vehicle states is extremely crucial for vehicle stability control. As a reliable estimation methodology, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) has been widely utilized in vehicle control. However, the estimation accuracy still needs to be improved caused by the unpredictable measurement and process noise. In this paper, a novel modified UKF state estimation methodology combined with the ant lion optimization (ALO) is proposed for the stability control of a four in-wheel motor independent drive electric vehicle (4WIDEV). First, the optimal performance of the ALO algorithm is analyzed, where both unimodal and multimodal optimization test functions are selected and optimized by GA, PSO, and ALO, respectively. The results indicate that the ALO algorithm has good global optimization capability and applicability. Second, the ALO algorithm is merged into the UKF to adjust the statistical properties of noise information for the ALOUKF estimator design without extra sensor signals. At last, the simulations on the Matlab/Simulink-CarSim co-simulation platform and the road test based on an A&D 5435 rapid prototyping experiment platform (RPP) are carried out to verify the proposed method. The simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the ALOUKF estimator can improve state estimation accuracy and resist the vehicle nonlinearity even in the case of the complicated and emergency maneuvers.

The square root cubature particle filter (SRCPF) uses the square root cubature Kalman filter (SRCKF) for generating the proposal distribution. The SRCPF algorithm is easy to be implemented and has numerical stability. Moreover, the SRCKF based proposal distribution approximates the optimal importance distribution by incorporating the current measurement. Simulation results demonstrate that the SRCPF algorithm has the better performance for state estimation than the generic particle filter (GPF), extended particle filter (EPF) and unscented particle filter (UPF), and its calculation cost decreases largely.

The inertial measurement unit and ultra-wide band signal (IMU-UWB) combined indoor positioning system has a nonlinear state equation and a linear measurement equation. In order to improve the computational efficiency and the localization performance in terms of the estimation accuracy, the federated derivative cubature Kalman filtering (FDCKF) method is proposed by combining the traditional Kalman filtering and the cubature Kalman filtering. By implementing the proposed FDCKF method, the observations of the UWB and the IMU can be effectively fused; particularly, the IMU can be continuously calibrated by UWB so that it does not generate cumulative errors. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through numerical simulations, in which FDCKF was compared with the federated cubature Kalman filter (FCKF) and the federated unscented Kalman filter (FUKF), respectively.

In this article, we consider the distributed nonlinear state estimation over sensor networks under the diffusion Kalman filter paradigm, where data only exchanges among the neighbourhoods of sensors. We first obtain a novel nonlinear Kalman filter with intermittent observations based on cubature Kalman filter. After that, its equivalent information filter is derived, and the proposed diffusion cubature Kalman filter with intermittent observations is designed based on this information filter. The effectiveness of proposed algorithms is demonstrated by a typical target tracking example, and our algorithm has similar estimation accuracy when comparing with existing algorithms while consuming less computation and communication resources.
