Introduction to the Kalman Filter
The Kalman filter is the workhorse of state estimation in robotics. I walk through the predict and update steps from first principles and show why it is the optimal linear estimator under Gaussian noise.
Technical articles and tutorials on robotics, machine learning, and mathematics. I write about concepts I find interesting or that I wish I had a clearer explanation of when I was learning.
