In this paper we address the inconsistency of the EKF-based SLAM algorithm that stems from non-observability of the origin and orientation of the global reference frame. We prove on the non-linear two-dimensional problem with point landmarks observed that this type of inconsistency is remedied using the Invariant EKF, a recently introduced variant ot the EKF meant to account for the symmetries of the state space. Extensive Monte-Carlo runs illustrate the theoretical results.

    eess.SY 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0

    Proposes computationally efficient closed-form MFD-based attitude filters with right-invariant errors that are almost globally asymptotically stable on SO(3) and retain advantageous Bayesian properties.

    eess.SY 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A synchronous nonlinear observer for LI-SLAM makes the full-state error dynamics almost globally asymptotically stable and locally exponentially stable by fusing intermittent GNSS and magnetometer measurements.

  3. Iterated Invariant EKF for Quadruped Robot Odometry

    cs.RO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    An IterIEKF algorithm for quadruped odometry, relying on proprioceptive kinematic constraints, outperforms vanilla IEKF and SO(3) Kalman filters in accuracy and consistency on simulations and real datasets.
