Abstract Accurate attitude estimation using low-cost sensors is an important capability to enable many robotic applications. In this paper, we present a method based on the concept of correntropy in Kalman filtering to estimate the 3D orientation of a rigid body using a low-cost inertial measurement unit (IMU). We then leverage the proposed attitude estimation framework to develop a LiDAR-Intertial Odometry (LIO) demonstrating improved localization accuracy with respect to traditional methods. This is of particular importance when the robot undergoes high-rate motions that typically exacerbate the issues associated with low-cost sensors. The proposed orientation estimation approach is first validated using the data coming from a low-cost IMU sensor. We further demonstrate the performance of the proposed LIO solution in a simulated robotic cave exploration scenario.

The recent advancement of motion tracking technology offers better treatment tools for conditions, such as movement disorders, as the outcome of the rehabilitation could be quantitatively defined. The accurate and fast angular information output of the inertial measurement unit tracking systems enables the collection of accurate kinematic data for clinical assessment. This article presents a study of a low-cost microelectromechanical system inertial measurement unit-based tracking system in comparison with the conventional optical tracking system. The system consists of seven microelectromechanical system inertial measurement units, which could be mounted on the lower limbs of the subjects. For the feasibility test, 10 human participants were instructed to perform three different motions: walking, running, and fencing lunges when wearing specially designed sleeves. The subjects’ lower body movements were tracked using our inertial measurement unit-based system and compared with the gold standard—the NDI Polaris Vega optical tracking system. The results of the angular comparison between the inertial measurement unit and the NDI Polaris Vega optical tracking system were as follows: the average cross-correlation value was 0.85, the mean difference of joint angles was 2.00°, and the standard deviation of joint angles was ± 2.65°. The developed microelectromechanical system–based tracking system provides an alternative low-cost solution to track joint movement. Moreover, it is able to operate on an Android platform and could potentially be used to assist outdoor or home-based rehabilitation.

Sensory Data

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) typically has three accelerometers and three gyroscopes. The output of those inertial sensors is used by an inertial navigation system to calculate the navigation solution–position, velocity and attitude. Since the sensor measurements contain noise, the navigation solution drifts over time. When considering low cost sensors, multiple IMUs can be used to improve the performance of a single unit. In this paper, we describe our designed 32 multi-IMU (MIMU) architecture and present experimental results using this system. To analyze the sensory data, a dedicated software tool, capable of addressing MIMUs inputs, was developed. Using the MIMU hardware and software tool we examined and evaluated the MIMUs for: (1) navigation solution accuracy (2) sensor outlier rejection (3) stationary calibration performance (4) coarse alignment accuracy and (5) the effect of different MIMUs locations in the architecture. Our experimental results show that 32 IMUs obtained better performance than a single IMU for all testcases examined. In addition, we show that performance was improved gradually as the number of IMUs was increased in the architecture.
