Course content

The course is given every second year, next time in the Spring 2024. The course presents state estimation techniques for nonlinear dynamic systems with an additional focus on Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) methods, the underlying theoretic foundation and implementation skills. The course is given in English.

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE: * A thorough knowledge of theory and methods for state estimation of deterministic and stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems * Relevant definitions and properties of observability * State estimation techniques: Filtering and smoothing * Kalman-based techniques for stochastic systems* Nonlinear observers * Graphical models, Factor-graph based SLAM techniques * Parameter estimation * Data association * Applications in sensor fusion SKILLS: * Proficiency in analyzing the observability properties of nonlinear dynamical systems * Proficiency in independently assessing the advantages and disadvantages of different estimation methods, and make a qualified choice of method for a given system * Proficiency in independently applying the different methods for estimator design * Proficiency in designing SLAM systems. GENERAL COMPETENCE: * Skills in applying this knowledge and proficiency in new areas and complete advanced tasks and projects * Skills in communicating extensive independent work, and master the technical terms of nonlinear state estimation * Ability to contribute to innovative thinking and innovation processes
