The present disclosure discloses a system and a method for controlling a device using a compound probabilistic filter. The method comprises collecting a sequence of measurements indicative of the state of the device at different control steps. Further, the method comprises executing iteratively a compound probabilistic filter configured to track the state of the device at each of the different control steps using the sequence of measurements to produce a sequence of states of the device corresponding to the sequence of measurements. Furthermore, the method comprises controlling the device using the tracked state of the device.

System and method for controlling a device using a compound probabilistic filter

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and a system for tracking the position of the one or more moving objects. The method includes collecting GNSS measurement data of satellite signals transmitted from multiple satellites. The method further includes extracting values of a plurality of features from the GNSS measurement data. The method includes mapping the extracted values of the plurality of features to a source domain. The method includes classifying the mapped transformed plurality of features using a neural network. The neural network is trained over simulated data sampled from a source domain. The method includes identifying multipath measurements of the GNSS measurement data based on classification of the corresponding mapped transformed plurality of features. The method includes tracking the position of the one or more moving objects by processing identification of GNSS measurement data affected by multipath.

Method and system for position estimation using domain adaptation

A system for controlling motion of an articulated vehicle with one or multiple trailers is described. The system is configured to infer the state of a vehicle, determine a motion path with forward motions and backward motions for the vehicle based on the state, and formulate an optimal control problem for optimizing the motion path. The optimal control problem comprises an integral tracking error function indicating integral tracking error based on motion cusps relating to the motion path. The motion cusps indicate switching between forward motion and backward motion. The motion path is optimized over a prediction horizon based on solving the optimal control problem. A control command is generated for the vehicle based on the optimized motion path and a vehicle model, and the motion of the articulated vehicle is controlled based on the control command thereby changing its state.

System and method for controlling motion of articulated vehicles

A system jointly estimates states of GNSS receivers moving in a region using measurements of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The system clusters the GNSS receivers into different clusters subject to a constraint on an upper bound on each cluster and executes a set of probabilistic filters corresponding to the set of clusters to estimate the states of GNSS receivers in each cluster. Each probabilistic filter estimates the states of the GNSS receivers in a corresponding cluster by fusing the GNSS data collected from the GNSS receivers in the cluster to jointly reduce an estimation error of each of the GNSS receivers in the cluster. The DES updates the cluster assignments based on a measure of estimation error in the states of different GNSS receivers in different clusters.

2022-large-scale cooperative positioning with Global Navigation Satellite System

A probabilistic system for tracking a state of a vehicle using unsynchronized cooperation of information includes a probabilistic multi-head measurement model relating incoming measurements with the state of the vehicle. The first head of the model relates measurements of the satellite signals subject to measurement noise with a belief on the state of the vehicle, and a second head relates an estimation of the state of the vehicle subject to estimation noise with the belief on the state of the vehicle. A probabilistic filter of the system updates recursively the belief on the state of the vehicle based on the multi-head measurement model accepting one or a combination of the measurements of the satellite signals subject to the measurement noise and the estimation of the state of the vehicle subject to the estimation noise.

Probabilistic state tracking with multi-head measurement model

A system for tracking a state of a GNSS receiver uses a subset of the measurements of satellite signals selected to minimize a loss of information with respect to the set of measurements available to the GNSS receiver. The system uses a probabilistic state estimator that tracks the state of the GNSS receiver using a probabilistic motion model subject to noise and a probabilistic measurement model relating the selected subset of the measurements of satellite signals to the current state of the receiver.

System and method for GNSS ambiguity resolution

A system for tracking a state of a GNSS receiver uses a subset of the measurements of satellite signals selected to avoid the need for intermediate integers ambiguity estimate. The system selects the subset of measurements for the state tracking such that each measurement in the selected subset of measurements is formed by a weighted combination of multiple different measurements from the set of measurements. The system uses a probabilistic state estimator that tracks the state of the GNSS receiver using a probabilistic motion model subject to noise and a probabilistic measurement model relating the selected subset of the measurements of satellite signals to the current state of the receiver.
