Next: Packet-Based Control

This lecture provides a review of key results in state estimation and sensor fusion that will be built upon in future lectures. We briefly summarize Kalman filtering and and describe how to use Kalman filters to obtain optimal sensor fusion in a centralized setting. We also discuss several variants that are of use in a computationally-rich, networked environment: information filters, moving horizon estimation and particle filters. Extensions to networked sensors and distributed sensing are discussed in the follow two lectures.
