Abstract
A method for adapting a causal FIR filter is provided. The causal FIR filter is configured to estimate velocities by filtering position measurement data in accordance with a frequency response of an electro-mechanical system involved in a task. The method uses a processor coupled with stored instructions to implement the method. The stored instructions, when executed by the processor, carry out steps of the method. The method includes collecting a sequence of position measurement data and a corresponding sequence of ground truth velocities of a component of the electro-mechanical system performing the task. The method further includes adapting the causal FIR filter for estimating velocities of the component performing the task by updating one or more coefficients of the causal FIR filter to reduce a difference between the sequence of ground truth velocities and estimated velocities produced by filtering the sequence of position measurement data by the causal FIR filter.
