On IMU preintegration: A nonlinear observer viewpoint and its application
The inertial measurement unit (IMU) preintegration approach nowadays is widely used in various robotic applications. In this article, we revisit the preintegration theory and propose a novel interpretation to understand it from a nonlinear observer perspective, specifically the parameter estimation-based observer (PEBO). We demonstrate that the preintegration approach can be viewed as recursive implementation of PEBO in moving horizons, and that the two approaches are equivalent in the case of perfect measurements. We then discuss how these findings can be used to tackle practical challenges in estimation problems. As byproducts, our results lead to a novel hybrid sampled-data observer design and an approach to address statistical optimality for PEBO in presence of noise.

Dual Preintegration for Relative State Estimation
Relative State Estimation perform mutually localization between two mobile agents undergoing six-degree-of-freedom motion. Based on the principle of circular motion, the estimation accuracy is sensitive to nonlinear rota…
Parameterization-Free Observer Design for Nonlinear Systems: Application to the State Estimation of Networked SIR Epidemics
Traditional observer design methods rely on certain properties of the system's nonlinearity, such as Lipschitz continuity, one-sided Lipschitzness, a bounded Jacobian, or quadratic boundedness. These properties are descr…
State EstimationNonlinear Bipartite Output Regulation with Application to Turing Pattern
In this paper, a bipartite output regulation problem is solved for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to static signed communication networks. A nonlinear distributed observer is proposed for a nonlinear ex…
IMU Propagation as Preintegration
IMU preintegration is widely used in factor-graph-based visual--inertial, lidar--inertial, and radar--inertial state estimation, yet it is often treated as a specialized implementation separate from conventional IMU prop…
Functional observers with linear error dynamics for discrete-time nonlinear systems, with application to fault diagnosis
This work deals with the problem of designing observers for the estimation of a single function of the states for discrete-time nonlinear systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of lower order func…
