estimationΒΆ

Estimation: the state of a running robot and quantities no sensor measures, from its model.

Modules

balance

The static balance of a controlled robot, as a CasADi expression of the controller's inputs.

compliance

Object compliance by probing: how far the tip moves for the force it adds.

contact

Contact force from the controller's command and the robot's own model.

imu

IMUs on a soft arm: the curvature of each section and its rate, from gyros and accelerometers.

inversion

The configuration that puts a robot's points where a position sensor saw them.

kalman

Kalman filter of a robot's state (q, v), with the process model taken from its own dynamics.

measurement

What a sensor saw: some of the coordinates q and rates v of the robot, with their noise.

momentum

External forces on a robot from its motion, without accelerations: a momentum observer.

sensors

Simulated sensors: the true state in, a noisy reading out, as the estimators take it.

stiffness

Task-space stiffness of a robot at rest in contact, from its controller and its model.

velocity

Velocity of a sampled signal: the low-passed finite difference of its consecutive samples.
